MSQ req for DK ?????

[sirDarts]

SE have CLEARLY said that you will need to finish the MSQ to get to Ishgard, and that you will need access to Ishgard to get any of the new jobs.

You bought the expansion despite being able to know this, so it's your own fault.

I would suggest you wait for the release, and the do the story, it should give you a crapload of levels, due to the new exp it will give, so you should easily be able to grind your way to Ishgard within a day or two. ANYONE can deal with a day or two of "boring" grind if they have a clear goal. Especially with the non-existent Tank wait time for dungeons...

Yeah... not so sure the wait time for tanks will be "non-existent" come Friday.

Unless he is on a dead server, they will.
There is still a crapload of people under 50, there is still a crapload of people doing Roulettes, and Tanks will always be the most required job in DF.
Also keep in mind that a bunch of people will go do AST and MCH. Pretty sure there will be more of those than DRK.

A recent survey of what job people are maining showed a whopping 20% of people (who participated) plan to main DRK.
Yes, there will be a lot of AST too- but the number of MCH was actually pretty darn low compared to those two. I don't think tanks will get a 30 min queue or anything ridiculous like that, but I definitely wouldn't be expecting insta-pops come early access.

The bracket part is very important.

I have played LoL for about 3 years, and participated on their forums for almost just as long - there was a bunch of surveys about what people main, the results were always pretty balanced, 5 basic roles, all right around 20% participation.
Then Riot released Team Builder, which is something like Duty finder, and who would have thought - Mid and Top had 20+ minute queues, while supports had instapops, so nothing even remotely suggesting a balanced role distribution.

Yes I did include the bracket part to note I understood it isn't a wholly accurate representation of the community :P But still, 20% is a pretty large portion even for just the redditors that took part.
