I am so happy I didn't level to 70 as a DPS!

I'm currently stuck in the story behind the first MSQ dungeon. Tried getting into it twice last night, and got 90002 errors after a 45 minute queue both times. That was fun.

I think I'll just wait a while until some of the congestion slows down. I don't have the patience for that level of BS.

Honestly I'd love to tank myself too, but out of current set of tank classes there just isn't a single interesting one. Samurai could've been, but nope, DPS.

I don't know if it's cause I got used to healer ques just before expansion when I leveled my healers, but the DPS quest have been hell as of now. Easily 30-40 min wait for story dungeon. Luckily I'm still not that far in Stormblood so I'll probably change to one of the healers.

I do raise hat to each and every tank in this game. I tried it and man it is hard in XIV. And I used to main tank in Wow (and had all classes with tank specs too cause tanking is fun).

Okay it's not just me then! The tanks in FFXIV just don't seem as fun as the one's in WoW.

Dark Knight Pre-Patch was actually quite the fun. But Stormblood killed the class. It's now boring as hell. So boring, that I'm more okay to wait 40 minutes in a dungeon queue. I was a former DRK-Tank but with Stormblood i changed to DPS.

Coming from Aion (but I hate this game since there graphic update that look like a regression on my computer), I first tried to play PLD on ARR.

I liked switch and nervous gameplay of the templar and felt pretty disappointed by the PLD in FFXIV.

That's not just you. I feel like something is missing in tanking in FFXIV to make it fun.

The consensus I have gotten from random folks I've run dungeons with since 4.0 launch goes like this:

Tanks -

3 WARS, all hate the changes, feel like it's a nerf, not as fun to play as it was previously
2 PLDS, both like the adjustments
0 DRKS, seriously I think DRK died in SB

Healers -

2 WHMs, 1 said like the no stance dancing but still enjoying it and other said it's their best job but so far don't really like it yet, holding out final say until they get to 70
2 AST, 1 indifferent mindset but so far so good at 63, 1 other enjoying changes
1 SCH, did not like changes but did not elaborate

DPS -

2 SAM, both loving it!
2 RDM, both also loving it!
1 DRG, feels less bloated, smoother overall combat mechanics but gets bored after opener until certain skills return.

I'm glad they didn't make SAM a tank because then it would be boring as hell. That is the main issue with SB. It made tanking extremely unfun. IDK how the devs thought they could nerf two tanks and buff the other off the charts without some sort of backlash. But I guess the design the devs had in mind was to make tanking as boring as possible. I really don't understand how they managed to take so many steps backwards in the tanking department. The DPS options for this expansion are just way more interesting than the tanks now. I expect to see way more paladins from here on out. And there's one less DRK out there too. I will miss 3.0 drk. 4.0 drk is a joke.

My 2 gil:

As a War, I'm having fun. Yes, there are things I miss, yes I was nerfed, relying on Overpower alone for AoE agro is challenging but makes the job feel different from the other tanks. I both hate and love that last one. I find Onslaught is just a useless party trick, but that's a new tool I can ignore. But overall I'm having fun.

But I tell you this: as soon as I get to the level cap, I want to level my DRG, and I'm very interested about RDM, so there will be one less tank out there speeding up your queues. Since there is no new tanking jobs, I predict as soon as tanks hit the cap, they are going to start trying out the new jobs, and DPS queues will just get worse.

Maybe the dps options are fun but playin a dps just seems impossible , the ques are so long that it seems you cant get anything done at all. Most people had to spam potd just to get their same and rdm to level 60 jus sucks man really bad how awful the ques are.

I always thought the first week of expansion is the best time to lvl a dps because later on no tanks or healer will do them LOL.

I wish they simply had gone for 5 man groups for this expansion's dungeons. A third DPS would had made a big difference for queue times, if all they were going to add was DPS jobs.
