I have a couple jobs around 750 but don't play casters much in PvE (or do much PvE at all).

See above, it's the game mode I enjoy. It also took longer than it should've because I spent most of my CC time on jobs that I already had capped.

Loaded question, but for the most part they're strong enough that a great player maining almost any job is going to be better than a good player chasing the S-tier jobs. It's also very different between LP and casuals. By a couple definitions, GNB is good because it can slot in anywhere and just do good damage without dying. Things that punch through this patch cycle's increased tankiness, like SAM, are excellent but require more support (so they don't always thrive in Casuals).
Maybe I'll get heat since I play it sometimes, but I think AST is a step below where it was before the nerfs, maybe A+ tier instead of S tier.
