People are telling me SCC Is the better choice, and it does certainly seem to be the most popular choice, but ive analyzed, and wouldnt Lingering have better rewards???

lingering darkness is less linear, so if the bottom route spawns ur gonna do more walking.
The mini offering circles can be frustrating to deal with if ur solo melee, which is likely how you are farming these missions. Wming them knocks them out of the circle, and other methods arent as efficient and may not be aggro friendly.
The boss is arguably harder in Lingering Darkness due to its massive HP and high rank intuition, you can use poison etc, tho personally i think the bosses are about the same.
its mainly just the circles =/

Like above person said, SCC is straightforward, meaning there are no annoying sacrificial circles. Also, the monsters there only appear 5 at a time except for that one ghost. Not to mention, the doppleganger can be WM spammed to the point where it can't attack you. Meanwhile, the Shadow Commander may or may not require more than just WM.

If you get a shadow ghost spawn in your sacrificial circle, it just ruins your time (increases the time spent in Lingering Darkness). Besides, the gold rewards and experience are much better in SCC.

I personally like lingering more. But thats cause I can get about 50k more exp in the time spent. Plus more gold in drops, more finest leathers, better endchest items. I use blaze mostly in it. Crash shot works nicely too. SCC is easier no doubt.

I don't really do Lingering Darkness. It's those Offering circles. So annoying and time-consuming.
Also, since the boss doesn't have Advanced Heavy Stander, the DPS rate could be affected, depending on what you do.

I'm a giant... when i speed run i use fullswing.... sooo...fullswing= wide heavy dmg... perfect for groups of 5-6 wheras not so good and wastes time in lingering doing those cursed offerings..
