Syrcus Tower is 1 tank, 2 healer, 5 dps per party

I really hope this stays, I love this idea.

Way better for 24-man content. You really don't need 6 tanks, it diminishes the encounters.

I hope not it would just make queues longer for tanks.

I'm happy to hear this because in the current CT half the tanks spend their time not tanking and DPSing instead or picking their noses instead of tanking.
This way the tanks who come in will have to actually do their job.

But yes this will suck for tanks as a que but well you guys have insta-ques in everything else :P

You know its just going to be worse overall when you have one of them spirtbond tanks or one of those tanks with str or dex accessories and have 4k hp. With 6 tanks odds are you going to get some tanks that actually know what they are doing.

I guess I'm not quite seeing how this is going to make ques potentially longer for tanks. Could be just a "duh" moment for me, but wouldn't it be faster since there are way more DPS que'ing up in general, and now you'd only need a total of 3 tanks?

It's more likely that they quickly figure out the other players don't accept them spiritbonding and get kicked.
With 6 tanks, as tank you can safely enter and spiritbond KNOWING that there will be others that can do the job for you.
With 3 tanks, you don't have that luxury any more.

Thats good for the DPS.

Kind of a wash really, easier to get groups, harder to get loot.

If anything this benefits tanks the most.

There are less tank spots per group. So, theoretically, it's less likely that there will be a group ready and waiting for a tank to join at a particular moment in time. If queued DPS and healers still outnumber tanks by more than the given 1/2/5 ratio, then yeah, tanks will still have the shortest queues.

The queues will still be pretty fast, but they probably won't be quite as instant.

one of those tanks with str accessories

You do realize that it's actually better to wear strength accessories as a tank?... As a tank you need enough hp to safely take the "big" hit. After that any extra hp is wasted and better itemized as strength (which increases the amount of damage you parry).
