Giving a XP boost to DPS instead of tank.

[KDSilver]

Hello everyone.

I'm here to suggest something.
As everyone know, it's definitly easier to queue as a tank or healer since there's is more DPS than healer and tank.
While I understand that XP bonus in roulette are given to tanks to encourage people to play these class, it doesn't solve this problem, it never solved it.
But here's my idea.
Since Tank and healer can go on duty easier than DPS (who have to wait generally about 30 minutes), why don't you give that little xp boost to DPS instead to compensate the time they have to wait? This way, during the leveling, if you are queuing for dungeons or whatever, you'll need to do less run and it'll feel less frustrating to level up a DPS.

That's won't solve the queue time indeed, but I personnaly would enjoy that.

Because more people would inevitably go DPS for the exp boost, I assume.

You could use the same argument they used about adding two DPS classes won't make people change roles to refute this.

It wont change anything but if there was no exp bonus for tank, they would not level up faster making more of them seeking.
Maybe a DPS that can queue as tank and get a buff that will change his skills, with a 20% def bonus/att malus, most of their buff skills change to defensive skill and their combo as enmity generation (same for AoE).

Only on leveling dungeon tho.

If you're suffering from long queues, I recommend not using roulettes as your primary source of experience points. If some of the DPS move on to more productive sources of experience, it will shorten the queues for those who need to do the content for story progress.

Alternatively, how about allowing one's roulette experience to instead be given as rested exp, thereby applicable to any class?

That'd at least encourage many tanks who don't want to waste their roulette experience on something other than a DPS to tank and then spend the DPS experience with fewer dungeons for the same gains or via any more accessible form of leveling.

If you are going to do something like that, may be safer to create a new pool of rested exp to work with.

Not necessarily.
If a Tank has to level up his tank, he'll queue with it, and he'll have less wait time.
And DPS will have a little compensation for waiting that long.

This is silly.

The bonus isn't there just for tanks, its there for what ever is in need. Healer has been there, and back when HW came out even DPS came up a few times.

The wait time usually isn't even that bad, spend your time doing other things. Why should SE compensate us for our choice to use the most popular role?
