Least played?

Hey everyone, I was wondering what the least played class seems to be? I've been leveling up as a Gladiator (currently level 29) and I have Conjurer at 15. But, is there even a least played class yet? Or what's your opinion? I haven't seen many Paladins/Warriors.

least played.. prolly any tank class xD

Tank classes. They are the hardest class to play.


Easiest are bards. You just spam action skills and kite

Tank.
/10char.

You know it's bad when I wait 30-1hr for a que and the missin' link was a tank.
And I'ma healer.

It's tanks.

Yoshida actually made an announcement stating tanks are the least played of all classes, and would like to see more people play tanks. However, I do and do not agree with him wanting to see more tanks.

On the agreement side, It would be nice to see the queue times in the duty finder drop for everyone, so that no has to wait for very long.
On the non agreement side, and this is coming from a person that normally plays tank/support classes, I would rather see a low number tanks in this game, being played by mostly skilled players, then a high number of tanks, being populated mostly by bad tanks.

There is no doubt that they would have in-place a censorship system like you state. All totalitarians do.

Strange - as a healer I hardly ever queue more than about 5 minutes even on the "dead" times, most of the time it's pretty much instant I submit the Duty Finder request. Are you selecting all the languages in the Duty Finder rather then leaving there only one default (E) instead?

A someone who came from WoW who dealt with hour raid finder queue's, it doesn't bother me. I turn on duty finder, and do hunting logs and other stuff I need to get done before doing my story based dungeon. MMORPG players are grizzled in this department and have things planned around queue times. Eating, restroom, miscl stuff. It's still easier than trying to get in a server group near the entrance. I'm Lancer, working towards the Dragoon job. But I get the feeling I'm probably going to be in one of the more popular classes/jobs in the game.

Exactly - you dont's need to sit and stare at screen while queing up in Duty Finder. Just do something else in game or IRL - what a thought eh?

Warrior main here. I think we are the least popular due to the heavy responsibilities we have in dungeons. A tank's mistake is far more obvious compared to a DPS or healer slip up. There was a thread posted the other day showing how much abuse we get if we wipe, even if it isn't our fault simply because we're up in front. I did notice that there was a massive number of tanks farming FATEs in Coerthas, perhaps they don't want to actually do DF group content?

I myself love finding a friendly group in DF to play with, however those people you hear about raging how bad tanks are put off a large number of potential new tanks.

So if you want to make friends and get into dungeons quickly, pick up a tank class and learn to do it well. No point trying to tank if you aren't willing to try :)

Playing a Gladiator, going Paladin fairly soon. I can say that tanks are always the first ones to blame. However most of the time we wipe is because the DPS is not paying attention to what they should be doing. Staying out of cones and AOE's as well as not killing the adds. A Tank is meant to hold agro. That's it. Warrior has the option to hit hard, but they are still tanks. I can't count how many times my party wiped in other games where I am tanking, because the DPS is not doing their job. Easy as it is.

Warr & Monks.
Maybe monks are rarer, since warriors I tend to run into more often.

Lancers & Archers... Arcantists are pretty rare too.

Ok in all seriousness.. Alchemists are the least played class.
