Duty Finder Que Times

Some are correct, I tried DF as a DPS and it took me more than 20 minutes so then I decided to switch to a healer then I got in instantly. Mostly, they are waiting for either a tank or a healer(happen often) said in the DF searching client.

I have pre-made group but still took 20-60min 'reserving instance' depending on the day/time so the real issue is not just lack of tank/heal.

Even queuing as a healer it still takes quite awhile at times because again, based on the server grouping, certain ones are just so full or no one is doing it (lower end ones.)

When was this. I have never had a pre-made party ever wait more than near instant. Even when we go in with 1 tank 1 healer and 1 DD already set it never takes more than 5 minutes.

To top that off I always go in as a healer, and my wait is usually very short if at all. I have tried tank once or twice (not to good at it and don't plan to do it again due to the fact that noone works with a tank who wants to be better at dungeons, and just harass the hell out of a tank who is not perfect).

I know a lot of people also don't like healing due to the fact that when a party fails they will jump all over the healer (although that happens rarely if at all in my experience).

There is also the fact that they have added another duty finder server and split the pool. The duty finder initially drew from all servers (causing lots of complaints) and now draws from a pool with less servers. If you happen to be in a pool with more of the new servers, your times will probably be longer as well. I am on Coeurl and usually wait 20 minutes as a DPS, but still wait 10 minutes as a healer for specific duties. Before they added this third duty finder server it was usually 1 minute as a healer.

Thanks for the tip!

I gave up on being a DPS for random DF searching. Better to gather people on your specific server or asks your friends/LS/FC members to help you.

I have no issue when i go to use Duty Finder but i run as a tank so i think thats why i think DPS probably have the hardest time out of anyone to go into duty finder and may want to invite a friend who is either a tank or a healer to help alleviate the stress of waiting
