    Why not make "Hard" dungeons 6-man?

    6 is the perfect group size.
    1 Tank
    3 DPS
    1 Support or secondary healer or dps
    1 Healer

    they won't because somewhere down the line they got this idea that 4 was a better idea.
    Coming from FFXI I always thought 6 was a better idea.
    Mind you in FFXI most of the content was open world.
    When I put together a party I would usually go like this
    1 Healer(usually me)
    1 Backup Healer/Support(RDM was good for this spot)
    1 Tank
    1 Puller/Secondary DD(THF, Ranger or BRD was good for this spot)
    2 DD(we called them Damage Dealers despite somewhere down the line some idea calling them DPS was better.)

    I liked FF8.

    Three is best number.

    Make it a full party, not a light party and a half ^^

    1 tank
    2 healers
    5 DPS

    the same what we have in CT2 and CT3 and it worked also in the 1.x dungeons (even if all dps ran it as BLM to change at the boss to MNK)

    8 is a bit too big. 6 is just right.

    Why is 8 too big?

    Either just the tank is taking damage, in which case you single-target heal the tank, or everyone takes damage, in which case you AoE heal.

    6 allows for..

    1 (OT, Second Healer, Support DPS)
    3 DPS.
    1 Tank.
    1 Healer.

    It has an almost perfect synergy to the ques.

    If they make the dungeon as hard as Cutter's Cry and Aurun Vale was during 1.x, 8 is just right.

    You can make that same argument for any setup, Nektulos.

    Two tanks or 1 tank, one support dps?
    Two healers, or solo-heal with more tanks to spread out the damage?

    Anything is possible.

    Besides, we don't have official support classes. Maybe get that first?
