Eureka : take the NM train or ride your private car with a party ?

[Alaray]

Anyone who says private partying is more skillful is erroneous. The benefit is you get bonus experience while waiting on NM's, but it's not that much more difficult to do. At least if you know what a stun is.

But I went from 12 - 17 3/4ths last night just doing the fate train. So, it's not bad exp in any way.

Can experience per hour be optimized, yeah, and that's normally what the private parties are trying to accomplish. Outside of trying to prep Pazuzu.

But normally I alt tab and watch something to wait for the fate to spawn, in fact I'm basically doing that right now.

The existence of spawnable FATEs lends the instance to be optimized in terms of how people optimized grinding in GW2 -- Get a zerg rolling.

At least if you know what a stun is.

This is why it is more skillful. 90% of the time, in any content, nobody knows what a stun is. And as a RDM, I can't stun something. Killing the Bhoots in Eureka is a pain when the party wants to mass pull them, and end up paralyzing the party(which, might I add, the healers 80% of the time don't have Esuna for) causing near wipes, if not outright wiping the party.
