Secondary update, I got summoner to 60 a couple of days ago on my main, and in order to get that last chunk of exp I did the scholar quests and my friend persuaded me to do crystal tower with him for the last 500k exp

It was the second most soul crushing experience I had after astro this expansion. Gone was my beautiful dots and crowd control. Gone was selene, whose colour I hated but abilities I liked. Eye for an eye, virus and shadowflare, all consigned to the bin.
Its a long time ago now, years ago I got scholar up to level 54 on an alt before deleting the alt. While I stopped because my patience for those moogles was not sufficient to do them a second time, I did remember occasionally dabbling in scholar for a change of pace from WHM and AST.
I could never really get to grips with the healing style of sch, I always ended up fumbling it partly due to the shoddy internet I had with my ps3, and partly because I could never quite pin the timing down on the shields. But when I did it right, when I burned down the boss while eos and selene helped the party, it was brilliant.
