Are Gryphons still a great spot? I have many dislikes toward MP3 Idiots

Not really.

Maybe a silly question.

In 2nd job, it seems the fastest way to train is to get your combo up to 30 as fast as possible and then Smash the largest amount of mobs possible.

For 3rd, is it more like the 4th job videos I've seen where you just try to keep your combo as high as possible, or do you still use combo attacks like in 2nd? Considering that Fenrir is maxed much later in most of the 3rd job builds I've seen, I'm guessing it's the former.

In 2nd job, smashing everything is only fast until you get final charge. On a flat map, final charging across the map back and forth is faster than gathering the mob and smashing.

In 3rd the fastest way is to keep your combo up but that only really matters once you get a decent level of combo crit.
