    Best job for Expert tomestone grinding?

    I like to cap my tomes asap on reset day so I can buy new stuff before Savage reclears. I'm wondering which job makes that process the fastest through grinding expert-level dungeons with just crafted/normal-mode gear.

    - Tanks are great because they set the pace, get quick queues and have good AOE. But which one is the best at AOE DPS? GNB?

    - Healers because they get quick queues, have good AOE and avoids having a healer that doesn't DPS on your LP. Is WHM the best? Or SGE?

    - DPS are pretty much ruled-out because of their queue times. Although SMN, BLM and DNC seem to have amazing AOE.

    What are your takes/suggestions?

    You can do the fasest dungeon speed runs ever with a 4man group. If you can get one of those together it doesn't matter what you play as long as your group clears fast.

    (but sch alternating sprint and expedient is actually makes a difference so if healer go sch)

    With a premade, you could even go with a paladin or warrior as tank and forgo a healer altogether.

    In my eyes the fastest way is to join hunt trains.
    But for expert I think the best is a healer, because it's more common to have a healer that does not AOE, then a tank who is not pulling w to w.

    You could also look for 3 dps in PF and go with WAR without a healer.

    I would assume whichever job you have the most gear on also matters.

    Ohh, and don't do the level 90 daily roulette.
    It is a bait and gives less tomes then a expert 90 dungeon.

    Not sure about the exact number but 90 roulette gives like 15 tomes for the daily + 30 for the dungeon itself while the two current expert dungeons alone without the daily give 50.

    The lvl 90 dungeons are pretty fun though

    SMN is the king of AoE atm so I pretty much always run expert on my SMN. Queues for expert are rarely longer than 5 minutes, so ruling out dps is silly on that front.

    If you truly want to cap as fast as possible then go do hunts. You can cap out in like 30 minutes.

    Best way to grind is have a party and grind together.

    If that's not and option then I say just go for whatever gives you insta-queue, aka Tank or healer whatever you like more. After that it is only luck, you can join a party with people running the duty for the first time or just a party that is just as efficient as you would like to.
