These people are retarded and deserve to fail.
Do they not see the sheer amount of content and views Asmongold is getting by just reading out all the quest text and intentionally misreading the names? I was also surprised to see him do the ARR raids while he was lv50, he's farming the game of all it's worth.
If they think their audience is raid only, what they could do is buy the story skip for a secondary class and then level a main from Lv1 in a small group doing FATES and Dungeons.
Also Red Mage starts at 50 and it took me a bit of practice to figure out the rotation even at that level... on lv50 mobs in Coerthas Western Highlands... not a fucking target dummy.

Watching Asmon do Thrornmarch, completely underestimating it then getting deleted once the Moogles came out was fucking gold

Eh on learning new classes part, I do just go to dummies when I unlock a new class. Or well, first I spend some time reading every skill carefully and putting them on my bars in the way I feel they're gonna be used, then do dummy to confirm how the skills function. Then I pre-plan all my skills position on my bar so I don't have to move stuff around as I level(if I see a good/main rotation skill a few levels later I leave an easy to reach slot for it etc). Overall tends to take 15-20mins or so. After that I just go, the classes aren't that complicated imo, I'll figure optimization later, but I don't like just going for quests with stuff not properly setup and trying to read skills mid fight and what not.
And technically while there's one outside Uldah and she might have been there, the Summerford one is right next to the teleport so it's easy to access especially if she moved inbetween(you have to be inside Uldah to use a boost iirc, so might have been faster to go to Summerford than run outside).
Ultimately not sure what point they're trying to prove though, unless they plan on doing blind progression, obviously if you follow all the guides you're gonna progress much faster than the "weebs" did and if you're top tier wow raiders you'll definitely progress faster than random pubs and shit but that kinda doesn't mean anything. Unless they're planning on world first(and even savage world firsts tend to not mean shit, it's ultimate that poses a real challenge and next one is in like over 6months). It's not like XIV raiding is that hard, fucking paint sniffers clear savage in pubs like week 2 or 3.

Another good reason to do PotD for leveling classes to 60 is that in getting to floor 50 (and after floors 51-60 which you just chain run for exp), you "level" whatever class within PotD to 60, which lets you learn their abilities and rotations as you're chain running the 51-60 floors for exp.

I've been playing this about a month and a half now and really enjoying it. I have a question on best use of the road to 70 buff. My main is Scholar and I'm 73, mainly just doing daily duty roulette (leveling samurai on MSQ). Should I continue to do the roulette's on the Scholar and push for 80 or switch to other classes? Also when should I knock out the trade skill classes? It seems like its a good idea to use the road to 70 buff on all of those. I'm halfway through HW msq now.

Personally I'd say finish MSQ, get to 80 on one job that can kill quick enough to where you're happy (smn/sch would be a decent alternative since you can swap back and forth and they level at the same time)
Once you're finished with MSQ, you can grind up other jobs to 70 with the huge boost before it drops if you're feeling like a completionist. I miss my road to 70 so I always regret not doing more with it but I personally feel MSQ should be priority for story and unlocks.

No point being lv80 when you only have lv55 stuff unlocked.
It's a good use of the bonus exp fron roulettes though to have a second lv80 ready for when you finish the Shadowbringers MSQ.
You'll probably be able to raise a third and fourth class with this method.
So I'd continue doing what you are doing and once Scholar is 80 switch your roulette class to something else. Gunbreaker starts at lv60 for example.

Also, if you have pre-ordered endwalker, you'll get an earring that will work up to level 80 with 30% xp boost. If you're planning on going the distance, I would get that so you can level faster in the Shadowbringers content. Not that there's any reason to rush; it's all great.

Thanks to the two guys who helped me do Aquapolis earlier when it procced off my treasure map. Crazy how we finished it first tine with three people!
Tried Eureka, did the challenge log and got lv15.
Is it best just to do challenge log once a week or is there a way to level that isn't farming single mobs?
Also if I want the glowy Elemental Armor, do I need to level up a relic weapon?

Luck is the best superpower.
I believe glowy armor comes from Eureka and you don't have to complete it to get the armor, you can stop short of the final step for the relic weapon. However, you will have to level up the weapon somewhat, as you need to get it to a certain stage to allow you to progress with the quests.
Fate farming + Challenge log.

It depends on your ability to stay sane grinding mobs. I didn't find it bad and I doubt a lot of people here would either because a) its a lot easier then it used to be and b) we all played EQ. Im personally just doing challenge log since I don't have unlimited time, but if you finish the log, then fate trains are the way to go.

Dark Knight is worth doing just for the job quests. Also kinda ended up my favorite tank in ShB, because I like lazy tanking and DRK is real fucking lazy, more so than my previous go to, Paladin.
