    I feel the same way about the queues. I've geared WHM up to ilvl89 (my "main" for raid purposes at this time) and when I try to queue as anything DPS the wait just feels rediculous in comparison. I also work overnights so when I'm on my weekend queueing as a DPS when nobody is awake is retarded (1 hour sometimes). I have PLD at 31 but nothing about it feels amazing to me... I think I'll just try WAR next and see what I think. If I ever play anything close range axes always feel the best (especially when Skyrim was a thing). I like healing but its feeling really repetitive. I have SCH at ilvl 83, I think I like it a bit better than WHM but I think I should def give tanking more of a shot before settling down. I've never been much of a DPSer anyway.

    This is a common problem with MMORPG's, there are just so many more people who play DPS than there are people playing a tank or healer. So it's far from retarded. I know it must suck to wait for a hour or maybe even longer. But you can not really expect or blame people not to be on to be on at the late hours, they do need sleep as well.

    However, you could always try waiting till a busier time of the day or switch worlds if that option is not doable for you.

    I live in the EU myself and play on a US server because I like to play late at night and me being EU makes me about 6 hours ahead of the US, so I can be certain loads of people will be on when I'll be playing.

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that this game is ridiculous/retarded because people need to address their basic human needs :P. I just felt like I should post the normal average wait time for overnight DPS because the average person doesn't play until the wee hours of the morning and I wanted to give them perspective.

    Anyway, to refocus this thread: my concern/issue isn't with the times at which I play because that definitely can't change (however your suggestions have been noted). The class/job I play as definitely can change and that is where the issue is.

    You could go with Summoner, Dragoon or a Bard if you really want a DPS. I am still deciding myself, because I have never been a big fan of melee fighting and I've always liked a good bow in action. However, if you want to be in charge of a (little) group, tank would be a good option, since they basically lead the instances. My boyfriend plays a Warrior and he enjoys playing it.
    Its really what you prefer doing, do you like melee or ranged more? Doesn't have to be this game, any game. Because if your preference lies with Melee combat I would suggest Dragoon, since they're a lot of fun with their jumping around.

    I was actually just thinking about testing DRG or WAR out. I've only ever really played ranged characters and I feel like I should try to give melee a chance before I can feel satisfied. My boyfriend plays as a bard and while he makes it look fun it just doesn't feel right whenever I steal his controller :P.

    Hmmm... spears or axes?

    This is what I do too and has been working great for me.
