Are they? I don't wait long as a MCH.

MY gut feeling is that, Dancer unlike popular belief is going to be a Ranged Physical DPS.
They have fans (perhaps throw them like boomerang?) they can use as weapons and they can have much utility similar to bard, and some heal or shield or something. Make them OP like the RDM.

a real pet class

Dancer would be nice :3

Dual wielding katana will give me wet dream, and no I am not talking about ninja.... I want a job that wield 2 long katanas

Beastmaster - (Ranged/Melee DPS, dependent on stance, main stat is DEX) Uses a whip, and is a combination of traditional Beast Master and Morpher. Can tame wild mobs, which (depending on their classification such as seedkin, wavekin, cloudkin, etc...) provide a passive buff to the party and a stronger buff to the Beastmaster, while engaging in auto-attack damage (immune to damage, dies with the Beastmaster, basically a DoT rather than a new pet since SE is disinclined to add new pets). The Beastmaster defaults as a ranged DPS using their whip to attack enemies from a distance. By using the Morph ability to transform into a beast, it enters a melee mode with a new set of abilities. The morph stance focuses purely on DPS, whereas the default ranged stance focuses on DPS with utility, such as a group buff increasing party HP for a short period of time. Their utility is not in the same league as BRD/MCH, nor is their DPS equal to DRG/SAM/MNK/NIN, though close enough.

While i am done MSQ because i had early access, dungeons that are part of MSQ wait times are 45 or more minutes.
If i do not bring a healer or tank friend, i guess i can do lots of gathering while i wait? The level 70 dungeons do vary mind you on wait times.

Not many players play as mch anymore ( i only seen at most 2 in duties in Stormblood) so that could be why your wait times are less, not sure.
I am caster but a friend of mine also waits rather long as dragoon.

As for Dancer being dps, it is entirely possible but i think it would be a huge mistake on SE part not to mention all the fans that had wanted Dancer in SB rather then say Sam

Wait what? Theyd be mad that it was added in 5.0?

They need to NOT add DPS next expansion and add a healer and a tank.

No they would be mad (myself included) if Dancer was made dps and not healer

make a shapeshifting class
