Wait a goddamned minute, if Summoner is too boring for me I can just play Scholar. They share levels! AND it means I spend less time in queue, so I can focus more on grinding EX1! Only issue is finding a glam I like (Scholar has such a confused identity, flavorwise, its truly awful. They're master military tacticians, but also frontline healers, but also just... actual scholars, like book nerd types, but also they have a fairy companion, and only one of those things is ever allowed to get the spotlight at a time, in their questline). I think my best bet is to focus on fairy companion and try to make something that matches both the base fairy of my preferred color and the silver one from that Shadowbringers ability
