DF DPS Queue times

[oochie989]

So I've just returned for the expansion. Currently leveling my paladin through all the MSQ to be able to access the HW content. Once I hit 60 with him, I'm thinking about leveling a Bard or MCH. THe queue times in DF right now for my PAL are instant. How long are queues for anything on the DF for dps these days?

I remember at the 2.0 release, I was leveling a DRG but the queue times were so bad I stopped at 41 to level my paladin.

If queue times are still really bad for dps, I may just leveling a WHM or AST next instead.

I can't speak to DPS queues other than what I've heard from other people (which, for leveling dungeons, are usually complaints on how long it is), but...

Healer queues right now are really nice. Instant a lot of the time, usually <5 minutes when not. A certain times of day, it's not uncommon for the roulettes to show healers as in need. DRK seems to have given tanks a nice population boost, so healers are in a good spot right now.

I haven't hit 50 yet but the dungeons/trials/guildhests I've been doing as dps (both ninja and bard) usually say average wait time between 5-8 minutes. I haven't had any waits over 10 so it's not too bad. Obviously, tank and healer are faster tho.

For me it depends on the day and time. Last night, for example, they were popping almost instantly for me. I'd say 80% of the time I'm in the dungeon in 5 minutes or under, with 20% being 10 minutes max since HW launched. Again, that's just what's it's been for me.

It varies quite a bit, but I think the DPS queue times have gotten significantly better overall than they were before the expansion hit. I've had a lot of queues (particularly for trials) pop within less than 5 minutes as BRD and NIN. Then there are other times when it still takes a half hour or more, but that doesn't seem to happen nearly as often as it used to.

Ok thanks. I guess this would be a good time to try and level a dps class then before the queue times start going back up.
