    Very few people queue as Tanks since it is not a very popular role to play as due to the high tolerance demand requried for a Tank Player. Healers are the 2nd least played role so it is common for them to get the bonus once in a while but the majority of the player base main as a DPS character.

    However, once 4.0 is out we should see more DPS and Healer needed in the bonus again like in 3.0 when so many people wanted to play as Dark knight and Astrologian during the first week.

    It's also because a good portion of folks already leveled tank and heals to 60 and all thats left is DPS for them....

    This, I actually got a few DPS In Needs this week, and I almost always only queue for Trials when there's a Healer in Need.

    I'd rather heal because I feel like I can carry harder that way. As a tank, if I'm stuck with a mediocre to bad healer there's only so much I can do. As a healer, if I've got a mediocre to bad tank I can usually roll with it and get us through. Example: I managed to clear Dusk Vigil earlier tonight with a DRK using an i55 weapon. If we've got bad DPS, I just ask the tank to pull small and DPS my face off.

    DPS are always the most popular role in pretty much all MMOs. More people enjoy DPS than the do tanking or healing.

    Indeed. I feel that I have much more control of the situation when I'm healing. Last week I was doing Arboretum, our tank was good, but DC'ed at 75%~ of the last boss (Belladonna). I managed to keep the party alive, had to do alot of kiting and sprint on CD, the DPS did a good job not getting hit by "Frond Fatale" and we cleared and I got her card. As a tank I would probably die (and cry).




    About "adventurer in need", I think Healer is needed kinda frequently in leveling roulette.

    I disagree, with a great healer even a dps can tank (we used to run 3 dps 1 healer to speed run philo tome farming back in the day and outside of the hardest content like primals most times a tank can be cut completely) with a bad healer the party isnt going anywhere in easy or hard content.
