Have we given up on SCH?

Go to the hunt discord channel and pick up hunts on various worlds on your datacenter whenever you have time. For me it's more convenient than experts, and I cap tomes faster than using roulettes.

I may reconsider Experts when my WAR and WHM are leveled, but spare yourself the pain.

Really? Its faster than expert?
Expert are 90 tombs for 20 minutes.

You can't cap with expert in one or two days. Which is more pertinent depends on how your schedule is.

Yeah I know that. My question is if its faster.
Because if it is i will stop doing expert

If i cap sunday or thursday is no problem for me.

So, doing hunts i get more than 90 per 20 minutes?

It's faster if the hunt train is exceptionally big and they're dying fast. Usually it's more like 6-7 hunts in 20 minutes [60-70 tomes in 20 minutes] - but you can get 300 tomes in a train.

There are 36 A rank hunts so if you catch the entire train, you can get 360 tomes with full credit. Getting credit is easier on tanks jobs (with Enmity stance on). It ranges between 100-200 players for hunt trains, so they die relatively quickly (about 1 to 2 minutes per A rank). Although some players do not like expert roulette or hunts.

SCH is fine ever since it got Energy Drain back.



Pick a random job and play it for your weeklies. Then come back and tell us how much fun you're having running Expert roulette.

Scholar still has plenty of problems in the “fun to play” area of its class design. That and Eos/Selene is still gutted to a disappointing degree.

Okay. I played MCH in expert, while not 10/10 most amazing experience in my life, it was loads better than doing it on SCH, because I got to actually press buttons. Not asking for the class to be absolutely amazing and perfect in every piece of content, I just want to do more than spam art of war/broil until I'm completely numb.

Taking up the same challenge and taking another job in expert. I've done SMN and DNC in expert. Whilst SMN is unintuitive, clunky and has problems of its own, I enjoy the experience, I have way loads more to do versus SCH due to how long its rotation is. And Death flare, Bahamut and Phoenix all feel badass.

Excellent. Now do it 30 times so that the same level of repetitiveness starts to take its toll with this other job too.

It's interesting that you had fun with it. Is it because you've not played this job much and you're engaged in trying to learn it? Because any time I bring a DPS job to a roulette I'm bored out of my mind. It's the exact same thing every run. Almost down to the GCD.

Healer roles, at the very least, have some variability in the amount of damage you must heal, depending on your party.

DNC whilst the DPS in the worst place in terms of balance always feels nice to play, I still feel busy and varied, whilst not being complex like SMN, it's an example of how you can still feel like you've got a varied toolkit and busy without it being complicated as it is simple to play. Still a lot more fun than SCH atm.

Both jobs I feel demonstrated how they can be in a bad place but still be fun to play. Whilst SCH, arguably in a good place is boring as heck.

Let’s not forget the fairy bugs and newfound clunkiness.
