The Final Reason on why we have more DPS than Tanks or Healers

[ADVSS]

3 tanks to 15 dps thats a close ratio to the roughly 20ish percentile of healer/tank to dps. But your problem wasnt shortages, it was human conditioning, not knowing how the other alliances multikicked afk dps, dps going f this i got work in half an hour, or anything relative to what happened in your run. could be bad tanks and awful healers, could be anything. DPS leaving a 24 man is usually highly the fact they got their drop finally and said f it.

This isn't correct.

I just did a few 8 and 24 mans today and each time we had to wait for DPS to fill the queue. Specifically.. raids. 3 Tanks, 6 Healers, and 15 DPS. You need FIVE DPS for every tank. Compared to 4 mans which require only Two DPS for every tank.

Tank shortage? Not at the endgame. Everyone that wants to tank, is either tanking. Or rerolled because its too congested. Think about that for a moment. What senses does it make to roll and level a tank if you likely will have to roll a DPS to do content you mean to do?

I get that not everyone raids. But honestly. I don't believe everyone spends their time PUGing on Sastasha. Eventually you move up to something. And like most MMOs, statics/guilds like to use a specific tank. They don't often (but not always) swap tanks around. That's true from raiding, to trials, to even 4 man roulette. Just take a look at your own servers requests. It usually DPS of some sort. Followed by Healers, and lastly by tanks.

You can level fast as a tank. In the leveling queues and roulette, you get an instant queue. You can run a dungeon as soon as you finish the one you're on. So everyone who figured they'd get fast levels got to max level (and ilvl) then realized.. there's not a place for them. So now they're back in the queues as DPS.

So think really log and hard about dedicated tanks and healers who get no new job to slog the first week of stormblood in. I want to play red mage, but im going to do story as smn or blm. Ive seen this happen in hw, and was one of those level the new shiny first ty[es/ Thhe best approach is to let others server first that 7p while youre already got a full set of tome gear in the time it took them to start story. because "no new tanks and no new healers make career tanks and healers something something."
