Ok, so from what i know, people choose shadow cast over lingering darkness cause they frick up with the shadow ghosts on sacrificial orbs. BUT, ive been thinking (I usually thunder and i can solo within 23-24:30 minuets if i only run into 0-1 shadow ghosts on adv). With this being said, (since thunder has a limited chain range) couldnt you use a pet to smash it WAAAY out of range so you don't aggro/chain it? (or if you using blaze this may also work.) Or you could pet tiger smash it then run around a building potentially trapping it :3. Why don't people test this? POST YOUR RESULTS HERE!!!
With 300 Int, How much would a R1 blaze do?!?!?! im expecting around 3-4k damage?

The mission itself just takes too long, people want to get in, get out, repeat.

I just smash it, distract it with pet, and then smash it again.
Lingering Darkness just takes longer to do than SCC due to annoying circles. Also, the boss itself is sometimes more time consuming than doppelganger.

but from my experience, Shadow Cast and Lingering Darkness take the same amount of time :u.

I'm pretty weak compared to most people in this forum but I can solo SCC advanced in about 10-15 minutes, but Lingering Darkness takes almost the whole time limit.

It depends on your playstyle, really... People who have either high damaging range/melee or r1 fireball will have an easier and more mindless time spamming SCC.
Besides, the Lingering Darkness boss is a lot more annoying than the dopple and not everyone has blaze or snake pets to deal with it efficiently.

I just Watercannon and Flame burst it, then unload heatbuster which tends to insta kill everything in one hit that isnt the boss.

depends on your strategies, for me it may take me 25 mins to do lingering darkness on hard wheras it takes me 18 mins to do SCC on hard :/

Lingering darkness is easy with Blaze. It's a linear attack, therefore works wonders when you try to sacrifice stuff. Just lure an enemy to you using a bolt, defense, 2+Blaze and direct it to the circle as if it was a projectile. Explosion will damage targets nearby until they die. Just keep doing this until the circle is white.
With 300 Int you should be hitting 1k~1.4k.
