I'd like to see 5-man dungeons, with a slight caveat...

Depending the dungeon, it would have different roles available.

For example, a 5-man dungeon where there are two tanks, featuring bosses that require tank swaps.

A 5-man dungeon with two healers, feature mechanics that specifically targets healers.

Just some extra dungeons to maybe help teach players some mechanics that they don't normally experience in normal dungeons.

I don't know why people keep asking for this but adding a fifth role would require a complete redesign of the dungeon duty system.

They never asked for a different role though, it just means they'd have to build content that works around 5-man vs. 4-man. Probably more impossible because of spaghetti code rather than outright impossible.

It would still require a complete redesign of the dungeons, both for the added role to be added to the mechanics of the party finder and to rebalance ALL the dungeons for five men over four.

Having to wait on 2 tanks or 2 healers for a dungeon would also make the queue times increase by a rather large amount.

A 5th party member could spice things up. A support role job could also add a lot to the game. Yes, this would be a major rework, but there's no harm in sharing ideas like this.

Regardless, adding a fifth role, especially if it's a "tailored to new dungeon mechanics" role would require quite a lot of resources to implement, aside from it also taking dungeons offline for them to work on, as well as all the time needed to re-balance every encounter in dungeons to accommodate a customized role for every dungeon.

Yes, I realize this. However, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't ever hope to see improvements to the game, or expansions upon the job system.
