Dont forget.... Scholar can and *should* use SELENE on a Speedrun. (When we talk speedrun we talk experienced players who know the dungeon) Half the time 30% Spellspeed-Increase for the party, the other half 30% Skillspeed-Increase for the party. Plus Shadow Flare.
That does increase DPS a lot - and that doesnt even include the Scholars own skills to DPS.
