I am so happy I didn't level to 70 as a DPS!

I have a healer and tank friend..... ZERO quene time. I'M LOVIN IT!

For some reason tanks just don't seem as fun in this game as they do in WoW for me, maybe it's just the aesthetic of them, but I'm loving Red Mage, it's pretty much the perfect class for me lol I love magic/melee hybrids.

dps ques never bothered me, unless those pesky 9002's keep popin up. I mostly just work on my college homework. allows me to kill 2 birds with one stone, I can game and get hw out of the way

The biggest problem i see with your post, OP, is that you are stating that you will ONLY use dungeons to level up.

FATEs are available. Challenge Log entries as well. You can also level from 50-60 through Palace, which is also excellent. From 60-70, FATEs can be done while you wait in queue to get the bonus xp mob to get a real boost when doing Exp Bonus FATEs with it. Add the fact you can do Hunts from 60-70 now that you've unlocked all of them, and you can and should be able, as a dps, to solo with your Chocobo up to level 67 mobs (with rest between mobs), which should give you nearly 1 million exp per day...

You're limiting yourself if you're only doing runs. The queue methodology was set in a fashion that you can do other things while you wait. You can either work on gatherers, crafters or other, among a phletora of options, while waiting.

Simply sitting and waiting for a queue is rather illogical and a detriment to how you should be playing the game optimally. Saying that, if you want to just do dungeons, at the start of an expansion where two DPS classes were just recently introduce, I commend your crazy venture and hope you don't go insane at just waiting for those. Good luck.

They just added two new DPS jobs that many players are extremely hyped to play. Even people who mainly heal or tank are excited to try them out.

Nah, this can't be right. Yoshi P said there would be no increase in queue times because tanks would keep playing tanks and healers would keep playing healers!

Clearly, DPS are only imagining the hour-plus queue times.

Who cares about dungeons queues when you can pvp your way through 70?

Does it pay good in term of xp ?

[Eldevern]

Remember the 2.xx? DPS queue was a problem that HW solved thanks to now heal and tank job. We are back to the 2.xx problem... I unfortunatly expected this to happen.

I got between 600-700k in the 65 range, and now that I'm 68, I get 812 700xp every Frontline game.

My Queue Times are ~30-40min for every Roulette or Dungeon/Trial with my Redmage.
Its ok if i remember on Terra Release.
Main:Lancer instant invite
Alt:Berserker 2h

Im still at questing MSQ 3.1-3.5 for 16k XP each Step lol.
But today i can go to Stormblood and i hope i get more XP/Quest.

Honestly I'd love to tank myself too, but out of current set of tank classes there just isn't a single interesting one. Samurai could've been, but nope, DPS.

I don't know if it's cause I got used to healer ques just before expansion when I leveled my healers, but the DPS quest have been hell as of now. Easily 30-40 min wait for story dungeon. Luckily I'm still not that far in Stormblood so I'll probably change to one of the healers.

I do raise hat to each and every tank in this game. I tried it and man it is hard in XIV. And I used to main tank in Wow (and had all classes with tank specs too cause tanking is fun).
