ninja/rogue going to be over-played

[Nekodar]

It's *Already* a problem, so I don't see how you can say "for a week or two", it's been like this for months.

Only yesterday I had to wait 30 mins for Expert Roulette to pop as a DPS class, during fairly busy hours in game.

I was speaking relative to how it is today.
Also, your current queue depends on if you're ranged or melee, as dps.

Ofc. Seeing as you have lvl'd only ranged to 50, you're bound to have long wait time. It's the same for me, but when I queue for low lvl as DRG or MNK my wait time is less than 5 minutes. Ranged jobs are simply popular.

Once again the DF looks to pair Tank, Healer, Melee DPS, and a Ranged DPS. There is alot more ranged DPS, so on top of the potential shortage of tanks/healers the inballance of DPS adds to the length of the queues. I queue for Expert Roulette on my DPS when I am sick of tanking everything for a change, I do BRD and see average time 20-30min+, leave queue and switch to MNK and average wait normally says less than 5min. So NIN should actually help the endgame DPS queues.

For the first bit after 2.4, yes low level DPS queues will be horrendous, but this just means FATEs will become popular for a bit, and anyone wanting to level a ranged DPS or TANK or HEALER can take advantage of their need.

My problem with the new class, is that DF is already a horrible queue as a DPS class, yet they are adding yet another DPS class.

It will only make the Tank/Healer shortage in DF worse still.

no actually, the DF is a pain if you play a ranged dps, a melee one don't have a lot of trouble. and you know what? ninja is a melee!

It's worse for Ranged indeed, but it's awful queuing as 2 different DPS for Expert Roulette (and others) too, also a 20-30 min+ queue.

When 2.4 hits there will be a flood of Rogue and Ninja but after everyone gets level 50 they will have to decide to main Ninja or continue to progress on their ilevel 100+ jobs just like when Scholar was released.

I can already see the hours of queues on DF, everyone on DPS role :]

I belive they would have made it alot more exciting to have brought out a tank/heal/melee & range class all at once. Why did they not do that? Seems more normal to have brought 1 of every class out

You have to make animations for every stance, for every race. It takes longer than people think. It's a lot of work. It would either mean bring all together but taking longer to release them, or give us new extra content expansion by expansion.

Because when Scholar was released every one immediately jumped ship, and now no one ever plays any thing but Scholar, right?
