Increase DF speeds by setting weekly lockouts per role

[DNO]

I like your proposal, the current system makes little sense with the armoury system, can play all classes but you wont be able to gear all of them by the time the expansion hits. It being role specific at least means DPS can go around and try tanking or healing dungeons if they see themselves with a geared tank/healer.

this is my point. If you do not main tank this is little reason to use tank because you main role (DPS) will be geared first. So 2 months from now when i start a tank (if i start a tank what if i start gearing another dps class. Then it will be 4 months before i use a tank class) then ill be behind and weaker.

No this is a bad idea. Reason is it has been said many times that you can play all jobs with the armory system yes. But the focus being on one main and many secondary roles. It was never meant for people to be able to parallel gear all jobs at the same time. Think of it as a project at work, there are many different projects but you would typically pick a priority order and work from the most to the least important one.

This cant be done, because some one might wanna farm i90 gear, the only way to make df faster is the release of the new tank and the new healer

You can have:

10 DPS Classes
10 Healer Classes
10 Tank classes

There will be a majority of DPS anyway. Tanks and Healers have always been and always will be less played than DPS because tanks/healers get too much hate from people.

Just be patient. Slow it down. Don't need 3x the weekly cap. If won't long before you'd want 3x that new 1850 cap also.

I get what you're saying to introduce this in order to hasten the queue times. But theres the issue again of content deterioration whereby content gets obsolete faster than the development team can push out newer content. I do support a way to decrease the wait time, just not with the tomes that have a cap applied to them.

[Tiggy]

Nope.

It would just make me feel obligated to farm up 3 times the points a week as I currently do taking up most of my time.
It wouldn't solve the problem.
People would gear too swiftly breaking the gear progression in this patch within a month.

Bad idea.

Hmmm that would be great so I could gear up each role and not have to sacrifice progression for one or more jobs.....but say you get the 450 x 3 roles per week, what's to stop you from spending them all on just ONE job though?

The idea presented by the OP was that each role had seperate tomes per week. Basically, a "tank" tome, a "healer" tome, and a "damage dealer" tome.

same thing stopping us now.

Again u only get 450 points PER ROLE

450 FOR ALL DPS
450 FOR ALL TANKS
450 FOR ALL HEALERS

So if u want to play different roles like tank and healer you can.

You cannot use all these points on one class. So if u only want to play one class you will not be left behind. But if you want to tank you can actually tank and gear it without skipping your main class.
