Healers beating tanks in queues?

[Gameplayzero]

Tanks (hilariously enough) have to wait a couple of mins or a min now for some instances and roulettes. I switch over to my healer and test just to see they get instant. A few times healer in need has been a thing. Now I know healers have ridiculously fast queues anyways and "healer in need" is nothing new, but I'm curious. There is a big post on Reddit basically saying the same thing with tanks actually having longer queues. This is also not a cry thread. Not having instant queues isn't the end of the world lol.

From what I remember the population of players that tank is roughly equal to the healer population (like a 1~4% difference). So I guess now that those tanks are running for clusters we're running into a shortage of the other non-DPS job. People will chase those clusters regardless though so what's in demand will always be filled. In leveling roulette at least.

If tanks behave anything like 61-69 levelling dungeons I can see why there's a reduced proportion of healers.

It is kinda nice we get adevnturer in need sometimes as tank sometimes as healers rofl

Agree with the op. Doesn't matter what the Adventurer in Need is joining as a Tank I go into a queue. Joining as a Healer its instant pop. This is while leveling as well as at lvl 70.

Honestly, I think adventurer in need is bugged because of this. It seems very fixated on tank, even when the tank queue is two minutes longer than the healer queue (because there is no healer queue). The disparity has to be pretty wide before it flips over.

It's kind of annoying sometimes.

Noticed the exact same. Class in need: Tank. 3 min wait. Healer insta queue. Hmm which one is in need?

I've seen the same thing, I really think someone at SE needs to take a look at this. Every single roulette on my server is tank in need (except dps in guildhest sometimes? wut) almost always. I can't even remember the last time I saw a healer in need. It's maybe happened ONCE in weeks of recent playtime, but I always get in instantly as a healer and my friend who tanks doesn't.

It's been like this since sb release though, nothing new here. SE just pissed off more healers into quitting their job than tanks.

I think its working correctly but is on a 5 minute cycle before it seects a new role for adventurer in need. As per OP, there could be any number of reasons why healers are queueing faster. Healers could be leveling alts after leveling all three by now.

This one is pretty valid.
