Hidden DPS Buff?

I have a feeling that with the new expansion we will see several people switching to Dark Knight and Astrologian... Meaning more tanks and healers queuing for dungeons. Does this mean DPS wont have to wait 30 minutes to find a Duty?

No, because reg DPS will have queue spots stolen by Machinist

There's a reason they released a tank, a healer, and a DPS all together.

It's so queues would be completely unaffected. :3

The more Tanks and Healers, the more splitting happens.
The Problem we had around was simply due of less Tanks and Healers.

Imagine the Game had 6 Tank/Healer Jobs and 2 DPS Jobs. It would result into the same Queue Time.

But yes, there are more choices now and the Queue Time for Instances/Dungeons/Trials should be lower then.

Wouldn't that have to be tank healer and 2 DPS for no change?

We all know everyone and their mother is going to level a machinist so that point is slightly moot.

According to the census, the most played job in the game is White Mage, so it wont' affect anything.

I think that's just because everyone wants a healer class and white mage is more popular than scholar.
Numbers for DPS are gonna be split since there's so many more dps classes.

melee dps Q should be pretty fast at least, since the game tries to match 1 ranged and 1 melee dps in duty finder parties.

Does it?

I can't remember the last time I saw a melee in a dungeon. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

"Stolen" o_O I don't think it works that way.
