Curious Idea: Random Job Roulette

[Sida]

How about take a different approach for the whole "gear defines a a job." For the purpose of this particular game mode. When you queue to the random job dungeon when inside, the equipment slots, while empty, would have stats of minimal equipment piece the game has for your job level at the moment. So say you get randomed to use your level 27 thaumaturge, if you empty your gearslots, each of them will offer stats that represent normal white quality armor that level thaumaturge can wear. (Or for those harder content, youd get default values of exactly the gear requirement level gear) You can then equip better gear if you have any on you, but even if not, you have something passable, for the run.

I would be happy if I could just queue on multiple jobs for something. I have an ilvl qualified level 50 in all 3 roles, I want do complete something, say Brayflox HM, let me queue on all 3 roles and fit me in wherever there is a need since I can play all 3 well.

THIS.
While the Master Roulette sounds good. I would just be happy to say "Que me as Brd, Nin, Whm, Sch, Smn" Have the que pop and go, "Oh nice, got ___" Switch jobs and go!

I don't really understand it but this roulette would choose choose a dungeon randomly and also choose a job for you randomly?

I agree that it's a very interesting concept. But how do you make that job change?

They have to implement some sort of automatic job changer? What if you're in the middle of nowhere and thus changing jobs will leave you that 60 secs cooldown?

Other than that, i can't see any problems with it.

I would try this if it was available!

Something that needs to be considered carefully- would this roulette just be for filling lvl 50 instances where all 4 players chose the random option, or would it be integrated with low level and/or hard & expert mode dungeons and match you with parties where people queued for specific roles?

Because if it's the latter, I think what will happen a lot is people with tank/healer unlocked who use this, will find themselves drawing tank/healer almost every run and be paired up with people that chose DPS specifically or only have DPS classes leveled... so based on demand for Tank/Healer, people who have them unlocked might not get the diverse experiences they're expecting by using this.

Similar to how if you queue low level roulette as a healer, you're more likely to get a dungeon people don't want in that role and bail on it, increasing your chances of having to run it in their place.

I'm surprised they don't have more roulette in the game now. I feel like we missing "trials ex roulette", "ct,st,wod roulette", and "coils roulette 1st, 2nd, and final" but that's just me. Obviously "final coil roulette" might need to wait a bit but the other 2 coils ones wouldn't be awful. Also if we had more roulette's I feel it would motivate the community to learn and get practice/better at these more difficult pieces of content. Eventually they wouldn't be to bad to run.

i would do a Binding Coil Roulette (t1-t13) every freakin day... and you know what they could put int there as a reward? something that can dye any piece of coil gear 1-13.

I fully support this idea. I enjoyed the ability to do this in Rift/WoW, I don't see why it wouldn't prove fun/useful in this game.
