If anything this game needed Expert Matching from the start

The current expert settings on JP is pretty alright, as both needed you to do solo content against fairly relevant enemies, I can see wanting to increase the difficulty of getting the matching settings though.

Use summoner as a subclass if you need access to support techs for Hunter. Force and Techther do not have skills that mesh well with Hunter.

If you want to cast techs for damage, then Hunter main won't do you good at all. Might want to consider just actually playing a tech class or consider something like Techter/Fighter or Techter/Summoner.

is slightly unrelated, but Rushia did upload his current solo TA time for amdu ranking https://www.twitch.tv/videos/682408513

I've seen the same people constantly get really sus fast time on solo leaderboard these past weeks, and don't think any one of them have videos of their own

@Ezodagrom Those are the solo leaderboards. Ship 2 cm2 rankings also has some of those people posting impossible scores with a trio/duo party. (For awhile now too, even)
