2017/07/06 Hotfixes: Grade 6 Materia aplenty!

Funny how they said that the queues would be fine again (thanks to their HW data..) but somehow they introduced this incentive not even a month after release..its so funny. No new tank and healer, two well known DD jobs, nerfing some tanks and healers to the ground and jump potion..and they still thought that the queues would be fine..

Also got one as a healer but after seeing how low the prices are already I decided that this would not be worth it (if healers gets the bonus again sometime..). They could have left it behind this and maybe introduce a new way to earn this materia later..that would be an incentive. But you probably get way more by doing hunts.

In all seriousness though, I'm glad I had the social networking skills to have a 4 man group together to do content and avoid the queue entirely. :P

I saw Adventurer in Need (Healer) for the first time in literally months.

It is working. I also did the roulette in question, something I equally have not done on a healer in some time. It works.

If you are a DPS and upset about it, blame all the other DPS, not those of us who keep your que times from being three hours.

I never saw Healer in Adventurer in Need.

I never saw Healer in Adventurer in Need.

Never? I have done it everyday now. Leveled my whm 61 - 66 now only by doing daily leveling roulette. It is really often there. I even see dps adventurers in need morning yesterday(that is rare but possible).

It's a simple numbers problem, tbh. Right now we have 3 tanks, 3 heals and 8 DDs. That basically means there's 1 tank and 1 heal for every 2.66 DDs, assuming that every player will level every class to cap. Dungeons right now only accommodate 2 DDS per tank and heal, and that's to say nothing of the fact that more people pick up DPS jobs than tanking and healing ones.

I don't think making oodles of tanks and heals is the answer, tbh. The devs weren't wrong when they said that DRK and AST did little to motivate the DPS mains into switching permanently (temporarily? sure, but SAM and RDM also probably swayed a few tanks and heals shortly too, its just the obvious "new n' shiny" effect). I think at this point party sizes and ratios need to start being examined overall before 5.0.

It's a good reward since it has limit per day and rewards people who sacrifice and protect for others (the role of a tank is to sacrifice and protect).

When the tank knows what they're doing and the healer is competent, the role of a tank is just to hold aggro and in doing so protect the team. the sacrifice doesn't really happen (unless you're doing speed runs of praetorium sometimes) if you die its becuase you or the healer screwed up. or maybe it was that dps bringing aoe onto you.

I'll add that in high end content the dps is every bit as important, unless you enjoy hitting enrage a lot.

it's adventurer in need bonus.. that means I can run it as a tank 100 times a day and farm 100 cluster.

You get more from hunts, esp with the 3 instances, so it doesn't matter, also 24x60/20 (queue/enter level this is generous, it is not happening to keep doing them in 20 mins) so if you literally do 24/7 max your getting is 72 clusters, your claim is not possible.
