Ended up doing a couple burns tonight.
We skipped ghosts cuz we got lazy.
With Anni band, no signet, no cor roll (he forgot!) we got from a couple exp into 12 to about halfway in 28. My guess is with a proper pull + signet and cor roll + some ring charges, you can do a job from 12-30 in one burn.
This burn was with 3 smn
We did a burn after with 2 smn and got 12-19 with 1 anni bands and just 2 smn! We continued to thunderspark and ended up getting to about 25 or 26? cant remember exactly.
Point is. SMN burning is still cool to get to 30. Seeing a wall of EXP CHAIN # BLAHBLAHBLAH
Xenhas gains 1260 exp!
is pretty damn cool!
TL;DR
2 SMN 2hrs can get you 12-19 with anni bands
12-30 is possible with a good pull or pull + mini pull with 3 SMN
