5 Man Dungeon Content

About the tough life of DPS having to wait hours in df - I queue as DRG, BRD or MNK and see no longer queues than 30 min max
About levelling up harder job than DPS - there are lot of places where tanking is the easiest part actualy. Not sure about healing because I only have lvl 40 WHM so far.

It would require new specific dungeons and either classes changes to specifically support or the addition of support only classes. I agree completely with the OP.

I would like to see some 5 man dungeons just for the sake of variety, the queue times aren't really a big deal. There could be some interesting new mechanics that could be designed with a larger party.

Dps usually have to deal with mechanics more than mt except for maybe in fights that require a tank swap. So to say it is easier is not true.

If you're tanking and you lose aggro, people bitch at you. If you're a healer and someone dies, people bitch at you. If you're a DPS and you're standing there with your thumb in your ass no one says anything because everyone's alive and the mobs aren't. If playing a DPS wasn't easy, then why are there about 50 to 1 compared to healers and tanks?

The fights with mechanics where you have to depend on the DPS to handle something are few and far between. It may seem more frequent because those fights are also the ones that people tend to grind (Primals, for example) but on the grand scale of everything you do from level 1 to level 50 and beyond, One healer and one tank could do 80% of it by themselves. The DPS is just there for convenience.

Considering how many times I have to ask people to follow marks when I'm tanking, it's not that much of a convenience either.

It would be nice for 5 person dugeons. It would also be nice for an easier way to do a 3 man dungeon. In the past, We would have one person drop group and then run the dungeon. Lots of fun. As a main healer, I don't see having a 3rd dps to be an issue and would be fun. Could help some groups if there is a new dps to the dungeon to keep up the damage. I don't see why SE couldn't do a 5 man dungeon. I get if they have to build it in as a tank, 3 dps and a healer. The option to make our own random version of a 3 to 5 player party would best to change it up in lvl 50 dungeons. The current model is getting....well... old and boring.

Changing dungeons to 5 man would help DPS que and support easier to inplement. Normal setup is 1 tank, 1 heal and 2 dps, but with 5 man plus new support class it could be 1 tank, 1 heal, 2 dps and the last slot would be either support or dps depending on whichever qued first

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Won't adding another DPS slot make the wait times take longer or remain the same? You'd still have to wait for a healer and tank, which apparently very few people play as.

How much help could going five man really be, though? I'm still playing WoW off and on until my subscription for it runs out at the end of the month, and trust me: Those wait times still suck.

Hows about having both? I just ran into someone dual boxing as a tank and DPS. The DPS was in the wrong gear (STR and MND instead of INT) and when the other DPS called him out, he said my healing sucked, even though I wasn't even involved in the argument. All he did was spam Physick the whole run on the DPS and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have mattered how good or bad I was, he still would have done that and used the healer as an excuse..(the other DPS said I wasn't bad, though.)

What does this have to do with anything?
