Dps que times

[Venjenz]

Adding a 5th slot wouldn't change anything. I played all three roles in WoW, where the group is 1 tank, 1 heal, 3 DPS, and the queue times were exactly like they are in FF14. Tanks pop instantly, healers almost instantly, DPS wait 5-20 minutes.

Nobody wants to tank/heal and take abuse from the playerbase, which they will, when things go wrong, which they always do. That's why DPS queues always suck.

If you don't like DPS queue times, then play a tank or a healer. And if you won't be a tank or healer, ask yourself why not. The answer is likely the same or very similar for the vast majority of the playerbase.

I think they should add a 3rd dps slot to the party makeup in Stormblood. This would shorten que times and make it easier to carry low dps players.

I can't take this seriously. I'm sorry, I just can't

I only like playing Tank personally. I don't think dps is fun to play not sure why so many people play it. When I was leveling my dps jobs to 60 I was like I wish I could be playing tank.

Two ways to fix this. Find a friend that plans to tank the start of SB. Second there was an LS I was in at the start of HW of motivated players and it was easy to toss in there need a what ever job for running X dungeon and there would always turn out to be a bunch of people would need it. It worked well and we got to 60 really fast. I doubt I used the df once on my first job to 60 as a sch.

It's not SE fault players are mentally challenged for other roles.....

I don't think it's that they are mentally challenged for other roles per say. It's just that the ones playing tanks and healers are way more noticeable. The party being dead (which is what you get with bad tank/heals) is a whole lot more likely to get someones attention than mobs dieing slower.

I have runs where the tank does all the right things, healer does the right things, but the damages just can't kill the things before tank runs out of CDs and healer runs out of mana. On a pull that is not impossible or even awfully hard. Whose fault is it then that there is a wipe? Surely it's not the dps's who coudln't figure out how to use their skills in even remotely feasible fashion. I've had runs where me and the tank combined do more damage than the dps players together. Problem is, in aforementioned case, the dps players moan that the tank just pulled too much so the healer couldn't keep up. Conveniently passing any possible blame from their own less than splendid performance.

Give me a tank with a bunch of OGCDs and a skill speed of more than wading through mud, and we'll get along fine.

They gave us that tank.

I main DK/Pal and I can say that FFXIV had a very outdated approach for this role (relative long defensive CD).

This is like someone getting a college degree in something that isnt in high demand, then complaining when it takes a long time to find a job for their field or they have to move across the country when they would rather stay close to home.

I have no sympathy for dps and your queue times. I took 3 characters to 60(a whm, a ninja and a pld) and dealt with the wait for msq content i needed when on my ninja. Learn to play other roles. Too many dps never branch out and get out of their comfort zone and then want the game changed to cater them.

The game is fine the way it is.

Key words "Per say" I think you mean "Per Se "... Tanking takes practice and most players now a days really get frustrated. As a Tank , secondary , there is a bit more of a challenge and is even more of a pain when people don't listen. Even when tanks ask politely some DPS don't like to help out by sticking to mechanics,or targets , and rather go their own way. Sad but true. If party wipes they either blame the healer or tank. If Tank over pulls it's their fault. If They don't over pull, it's their fault. So your right. They aren't mentally challenge...( Per Se = Per se is the phrase to use when you want to refer to a particular thing on its own. It is not this Latin phrase, per se, that is important, but rather the concept it represents.)
