Level 50/60 dungerons really useless for DPS?

Other Duty Roulettes yes faster DPS's queue as 10-20min.

But, only "Level 50/60 dungeron" every 30min...


I wish SE and DEV make separation leveling

Like
Duty roulette: Level 50-59
Duty roulette: Level 60-69

Would help DPS's queue

The 50/60 roulette is such a long wait because the EXP typically isn't worth the wait(while I would argue EXP is EXP, and there are things you can do while waiting for it to pop).

I've been leveling SAM and I feel your pain.

The issue with setting it up as you suggest is that 51-59 and 61-69 are all part of leveling. Part of the reason leveling pops so fast for 60+ DPSers is because so many people grind out SB dungeons, removing that from leveling roulette wouldn't help overall, it would just make a new roulette that people run more frequently.

I would be in favor of separating 50 and 60 roulettes though, while at a glance this might seem like making longer queues I think it would help overall. Once I got past 63 I stopped doing this on my healers because on the off chance I got a level 50 dungeon it was basically no exp.

But yeah at the end of the day grind out some beast tribe quests or hunts, at least then you're still being productive. Or Netflix.

Also leveling roulette has an added incentive outside the daily chunk of experience for tanks (and possibly sometimes healers) with the cracked cluster for adventurer in need. I don't see them dividing up the leveling roulette into level categories, it defeats the purpose of the roulette, which is to group people up in a random dungeon or encounter so that people who queue for a specific instance don't have to wait, possibly forever, for other people to queue for that same instance.

Really, they should just add the cracked cluster for adventurer in need to the 50/60 roulette as well.

If only that were the case everywhere. When I did my leveling roulettes for my BLM, I got nothing but the lower(pre-Heavensward) dungeons, with the exception of twice when I got Shisui at level 64, and Castrum at 69(which got me to 4.4k from 70)

One thing I've been doing that actually seems to have faster queue times, for some reason, than queuing for 50/60 is just queuing for the dungeon closest to my level and running that. The exp is pretty good, and the queue time seems to be faster than the roulette. Not sure why, but it always pops faster when I select an actual dungeon than the 50/60 roulette.

Id rather have a boost in XP points like leveling. 50 dungeons just stink....and that's all that pops for me so I often tend to skip it.

That's crazy o.o

I have grinded them out as a healer at this point (all 70) and I virtually always got SB dungeons, but now as a SAM (so by default 50+) I have gotten Brayflox NM 3 times in a row. I wonder if more tanks/healers aren't queueing for the higher level dungeons for some reason and that's why I was always thrown there as a healer once it was an option.

A mystery we will perhaps never understand.

So I wasn't the only one, cool.

Could also just be my luck. Back when I was leveling my WAR in HW, I got Cutter's Cry for 90% of the leveling roulettes I did as WAR once I reached that level. To this day I still despise it(especially since I had to solo the Chimera from ~30% most of the time).

But at least with leveling they adjust your dump of XP at the end for doing low level accordingly so its almost always worth it even if you get Copperbell alot (Which has been my luck lately)

The dump at the end of 50/60 just isnt as good so its way less worth it to run.

That is true...but when you don't have any gil(very bad RNG for drops, don't craft, and barely ever gather) it makes it annoying when you do get that higher leveled dungeon, but don't have the gear for it and are still stuck in augmented Shire in a level 69 dungeon.

I feel you there. I was like that for a long time. :D actually, my bard is currently suffering the worst rng in drops ever, but since i keep doing leveling and getting copperbell it doesnt matter XP Im already at 67 >.> still have 260 (as in Dun Scaith gear)....yeah I may be a bit screwed if suddenly I don't get copperbell but......I'll keep rolling with the bad rng I guess XP I did actually turn to PvP to help offset some of it till i hit 70

On my new character, I actually level all my DPS jobs except RDM in the 50/60+MSQ roulettes. My NIN got a few runs of the alliance roulette, but other than that, all my DPS jobs literally spent 50-60 in those roulettes. (I also planned my dungeon runs so the DPS jobs get the relevant challenge log EXP.)

I only use my tank and healer jobs in the leveling roulette because when I quested to 70 (and during Heavensward from 50 to 60) I saved all the tank and healer gears from quest rewards.

Going forward, my DPS jobs are going to level to 70 mostly still in those 50/60+MSQ+alliance roulettes.

But I guess I'm in the minority. :x
