Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

So it turns out running Duty Support of current-level dungeons gets me about as much XP, as quickly, as running basically any Duty Roulette, when running my RDM. Would be VERY different as Tank/Heals, nevertheless.

Aside from Trials, Roulettes are invariably slower due to DPS queue times and chance player DCs/delays/etc, and the bonus daily XP isn't enough to warrant the time waiting, sadly. At least, not in my experience on my world/data center (Sophia:Materia). The time taken to actually run a duty roulette on top of queue times (and, even w/ XP buffs, the risk of having to run fucking Praetorium again), might gain me a better XP-per-hour rate, but not enough that it's worth all the downtime for me.

I can slam out about 2 DS's an hour (depending on the dungeon ofc, sometimes maybe 3), which, at least at the early stages of RDM, is enough for a level per hour, which is faster than just about anything else atm, AND I'm not bothering anyone if I need to AFK for 5 or idle out or what-have-you.

Hopefully Heaven On High is a bit more... Solo friendly? Than PotD is for me (at least, at low aetherpools.)

Really enjoying RDM tho, esp. now that I have Vercure. It's not as strong as I'd like, but the freedom of dropping a dual/swiftcast on a heal (which I have mouseover for!) is divine, and is exactly the versatility of the Enhancement Shaman ala WoW that I love. Hotbar organisation is still... An ever-shifting nightmare for me, but I'm getting some muscle memory.

Maybe I should consider a free company.

But I've had an abysmal track record with staying active in guilds in the past. Hm.
