    Eh...I hope that you understand the fact that for tanks/healers to have any sizable queue time, the DPS need to be instant, right?! Do you seriously think that DPS will be so outnumbered that their queue will go for 10-30 minutes to 0?! Seriously?!

    If anything, if the gunblade will be a tank and it will cause a significant change in queue, then it will reduce the DPS queue time while having zero effect on tank and healer queue. Alternative either healer or tank will have to wait for a minute max, not because of DPS but because the other new class just wouldn't be good enough to compare with Gunblade in its own category.

    So yeah...

    PS: Tanks and healers still have queues...sometimes. In certain roulettes or for specific dungeons.

    I know the change will be very minimum at max level content once people finishing leveling the new Tank and Healer Jobs because most players who jump on the new Tank and Healer Job will drop it and return to DPS role once they reach max level.

    I am talking about leveling content because that is where the focus for the new Tank and Healer Job queue time will be as we should have learned back in 3.0 release of Dark Knight and Astrologian's release with Machinist. Don' t forget there were Tank players who were not use to not getting instant queue started complaining about queue times longer than 5 minutes as they were leveling Dark Knight.

    Plus a slightly making fun of how certain Tank players just can't stand long queue times since most content they get instant or almost instant queue times.

    I'm talking about all content. There is such a disproportion of tanks and healers versus DPS that the changes to tank and healer queues will NOT be high. Many people that will play the new tank/healer job already play tank or healer job. And with the new Trust system, and main story experience I reckon that most queues will be made by leveling roulette anyway, which is overfilled with DPS by such a degree that there's a lot of DPS that can be counter-balanced before tanks/healers queue would suffer significantly.

    Yes, I know. But alas...I do not imagine the queues suffering as much as you would think to even make it likely.

    If they will?!...Really...I wouldn't particularly mind, keh. I'd have an easier time leveling a DPS, keh. I can always level tanks and healers once people flood the DPS again...I'm saying that as someone that mains healing and wants a Dancer which is...rather...likely to be the healer.

    I'd be fine with it only if it was another highly anticipated class. It's not just about a tank. It's about a class that players WANT to play, that players are strongly attracted to.
