Dps que times

[Zojha]

I think its the other way, we need to encourage more players to play different roles and more DPS players to play Tanks or Healers.

So, uh... why exactly should we encourage players to play a role they don't want to play in the first place?

I'd rather encourage people to play a different game instead. Quit subbing until SE has managed to find a way to allow you to play the job you want to play without large queue times. Blows to the wallet are the most effective when it comes to business.

It's not SE's fault that you want to join a saturated market...

If you want to be in demand, go for something that's in demand.

It's not SE fault players are mentally challenged for other roles. They aren't forcing anyone and you can play as you like. However encouraging other players to play something else is plain tacky. It's call a game, a new role is a new challenge to some. If you know how roles work they help you become a better player being you have an insight on how they work. Hence can help you make tank or healers job easier. Not for everyone but hey, I found it challenging and now I love tanking as an alt :P. You're a well rounded player, it seems so I'm surprised. Maybe work on your DoH or DoL while waiting?

I don't think it's that they are mentally challenged for other roles per say. It's just that the ones playing tanks and healers are way more noticeable. The party being dead (which is what you get with bad tank/heals) is a whole lot more likely to get someones attention than mobs dieing slower.

I have runs where the tank does all the right things, healer does the right things, but the damages just can't kill the things before tank runs out of CDs and healer runs out of mana. On a pull that is not impossible or even awfully hard. Whose fault is it then that there is a wipe? Surely it's not the dps's who coudln't figure out how to use their skills in even remotely feasible fashion. I've had runs where me and the tank combined do more damage than the dps players together. Problem is, in aforementioned case, the dps players moan that the tank just pulled too much so the healer couldn't keep up. Conveniently passing any possible blame from their own less than splendid performance.

Key words "Per say" I think you mean "Per Se "... Tanking takes practice and most players now a days really get frustrated. As a Tank , secondary , there is a bit more of a challenge and is even more of a pain when people don't listen. Even when tanks ask politely some DPS don't like to help out by sticking to mechanics,or targets , and rather go their own way. Sad but true. If party wipes they either blame the healer or tank. If Tank over pulls it's their fault. If They don't over pull, it's their fault. So your right. They aren't mentally challenge...( Per Se = Per se is the phrase to use when you want to refer to a particular thing on its own. It is not this Latin phrase, per se, that is important, but rather the concept it represents.)

I think they should add a 3rd dps slot to the party makeup in Stormblood. This would shorten que times and make it easier to carry low dps players.

tank life is the best life

Dunno in other servers, but got fair times with dps those days. About 15'.

Once I got an instapop and were thinking "omg I queued tank not my dps" but happened only once.

So in some other words, improving queue wait times by adding an additional DPS, which might need to be carried, even though the game isn't that hard. hmmm Even if new areas are a bit harder a four man team would still be ideal. I'm tired of having to carry DPS at times and an extra one would just be a pain. Besides queue wait times aren't that bad. Now you can have companion out and do something else while you wait.

Do what else tho alot of people have their jobs maxed or the jobs they are gona play maxed , your forced to do the story to get to the good stuff in the game its literally nothing else to do but sit around and wait on that 20 min que or ask your friends to save you.
