[Dev request] Job roulette

[Bigcat9715]

Lately, I've been starting to having a problem if deciding which job I want to play next in expert roulette, and thought wouldn't it be nice to have a job roulette to pick for me for dungeon #5628? Can we please get a job roulette kinda like mount roulette, but it only picks on what's in the equipment sets, or has someone already made a macro of this?

That's seems very complex, because the job change is linked with the items you have equiped. YOu can have a lot of diferent gearsets, of the same job. Or even you can have all the jobs but not gearset defined for them. or maybe do not have enough item level. It is very hard, too much variables to have in mind.

Does it really seem that complex? I thought the gear sets were macros, and the roulette coding would be able to build on top of that by picking a random value from 1-10 (or your max number of gear sets) and switching you to that set.

Then can't people cheat the system by reducing the amount of gear sets so they can only have one or two jobs at the ready?

What's wrong with that? That person would just be switching between 2 jobs. I have a max of 5 jobs 2 dps and 3 healers, and when it comes to dungeons, fates, and any Form of grinding they all can get the job done. But after awhile doesn't it get boring trying to decide on which job you want to play next knowing you can do equally well with all of them? Wouldn't it be more fun just picking a job at random and going with that?

Because if you boil it down to just two choices, it's not really much a roulette (kinda like the expert roulette we have now, eh?) and more of picking which two sets of clothes to wear for extra tomestones. I don't see how you find it "boring" trying to decide what job to play if you can just pick randomly yourself instead of needing a bonus to do it randomly for you.

Lol, well maybe there should be a minimum requirement of 3 or 4 for the roulette to work (kinda like how expert roulette should have a minimum of 3 or 4 to be considered a roulette). So, your saying I should close my eyes and keep pressing up and down until I'm ready, and then press X. I was looking for more of an official way or macro way of an roulette not an completely gank way of doing it lol.

This would be awesome, actually. Personally, when I can't decide which job to go as, I assign number ranges for them and do /random, but... that's fine when I only have two or three jobs. When you have, say, 8 or 13, it gets a lot trickier to do that with /random ^^;

Well now that I just realized it, what dungeons and trials cover this job roulette? Every roulette seems to fill some sort of niche, but I don't see this one filling in anything.

Like has been said, this isn't about a roulette akin to the instance roulettes. It's a roulette similar to "mount roulette" or "minion roulette" -- basically, hit a key/hotbar icon, and you get assigned a random gearset.
(Could be tricky if you have all crafters and gatherers, of course xD but then you'd just have to re-roulette it, no?)

I would love the option to queue to DF on several jobs at once. If I have a tank, healer and DD job available, the system should just pick one for me that's needed the most for whatever I'm queueing for. That would benefit everyone.

Then just go tank. Instant queues (so needed) for almost all content.
