Solution to long dps queue times

Healers can have a hard time too, but that is typically dependant upon how poorly your group performs.

Meanwhile id say paladin is one of the easiest classes to play, lets not pretend its a difficult class.

I think the correct statement would be "melee dps have a harder time than ranged dps". To state that dps have an easier role over tanking/healing is absurd.

Lets be real here in order to get the absolute maximum out of a class dps is the most demanding. And melee more so than ranged. Sure just dpsing is faceroll but getting the max you toon can offer is not. As for "blowing my cd's at the right time". Dps have no cd's? Interesting

Ok, lets be real. DPS is only accountable to themselves and the AI.

Healers have the same as dps, plus worry about everyone else's health.

Tanks have the same, and worry about threat (ie the entire party) on most of the time multiple mobs and make the healers job easier/possible with good use of cool downs. You position yourself to maximize dps, I position the mobs for everyone's safety/benefit.

As to blowing cd's: Again, these are for your own benefit of damage dealing. Healers do it to balance out extra damage taken or to mitigate damage. Tanks do such to help hold threat AND to help the healers out to avoid/compensate/recover from damage spikes.

So yeah, I think you are HIGHLY over valuing your role or the undervaluing others role.

You mean its hard when other classes are not doing their job/ playing recklessly? newsflash THIS APPLIES TO EVERY ROLE.

And pulling 3 groups of trash is called a speed run, you are making it more difficult on purpose to shorten time.

Unless you are not being sarcastic which i thought u were... can never tell in text :P.
