Increasing xp gained by dps classes in leveling dungeons

[Vahlnir]

I'll be honest, dungeon exp is already pretty decent. It's also better to pair it with roulettes. PotD is technically a dungeon too, which will net you a decent sum. Pre-60, PotD will get you there pretty fast. Post 60 the dungeon exp is just...insane. Probably better than PotD. PvP is also decent provided you win. This is all coming from someone who mains a dps class. Queue times vary depending on the instance, but 20-30 min for a queue really isn't that bad. Just do other things while you wait.

I'm quite tired of the "join a fc and make friends" answer. People play at odd times, or just don't want to pester anyone or whatever.

Tanks and healers don't need to join an fc to level fast. Why do dps have to?

If you can't find someone or multiple someones, list yourself in the party finder or simply queue up. Problem solved.

Try making friends with people who play at all sorts of hours. I only have three DPS classes left and I just manage to use my time better while waiting for dungeons to pop. I get a lot of fates done at night.

And if you really want EXP but don't want to wait? You can always do Palace solo since it's pretty easy.

In regards to just my DPS classes:

In A Realm Reborn, I had BRD, DRG, NIN to Level 50.
In Heavensward, I had BRD, DRG, NIN to Level 60.
In Stormblood, I have NIN, SAM, RDM to Level 70.

Point is, it honestly really isn't difficult to level a DPS class. Few people realize it, but some xp is better than no xp. That said, I find myself spamming the roulette even after I did the Daily. The Roulettes are kind to DPS classes except Leveling Roulette.

But if you're under Lv50, Palace of the Dead is your friend.

Do something else while waiting for your queue to pop. FATEs or leves or whatever. That way you'll level at a similar pace to tanks and healers.

People really don't need more incentive to play DPS.

Quite the opposite actually.

Do fates while you queue if you have no friends, you'll level just fine.

do you use food and exp scrolls?

I really don't know what more they can do about DPS ques. There are always going to be more DPS than Tanks and Healers. They've already implemented a number of incentives to encourage more Tanks and Healers and it's not really fair to award more XP to DPS just because there is an over abundance of them. As many have mentioned, soloing PotD is a great asset for leveling. Once you unlock Beast Tribe dailies and Hunt Marks those also award large amounts of XP with far less time and effort required than dungeons. I leveled my WHM from 50 to 68 relatively quickly doing Beast Tribe dailies and daily Hunt Marks combined with the large amounts of XP awarded by completing the weekly Challenge Log tasks. There are literally millions of XP available outside of dungeons if you take advantage of them. Certainly plenty of stuff to keep a person stuck in a DPS que occupied until it pops.

LOL the extra incentives to run a healer or a tank is not enough, like once I do my daily for leveling roulette, I am not going to do it again on a tank or healer. There is not enough incentive to do so. Gaining 30k-50k in 20-25 mins is a joke, should I queue extra leveling for tank for no reason other then that "extra incentive" it is not enough.

Maybe things would be better if they gave enough to do roulette more then once a day.

I think DPS being the biggest population exists in all games, and I deal with it in SB by having a friend. I started out as healer so her DPS could get fast queues, then we rotate. So I may do a healer 60-70 with her dps, then she does a tank or healer and I do a dps...

You are only 2 DPS classes short doing this, idk what we are going to do after the next 4 jobs but ya its more then enough to get the DPS I like out of the way, at any rate.

Tanks and healers don't need to join an fc to level fast. Why do dps have to?

Oh? last I checked this is a social game, I have a full 200 FL, where I have to delete someone when I meet a new person that happens to be quite interesting.

When not raiding, your FC should have a a level-2, or even better a level-3 XP buff up, and Meat & Mead II buff to extend food durations. Food should be consumed anytime there is leveling activity.

If you manage your GC squadron there is also level-3 XP scrolls you can earn weekly, which is equal to the level-3 FC XP buff.

Obviously there is the up to level 25, 30, and 50 equippable pieces that can be used to get more XP. It works even when you are sync'd to those levels.

Some people leave so much XP on the table and you have to remind them to eat food too.

I feel that it may work against your goal of making up for queue times.

Dungeon EXP getting better = more DPS queue for dungeons = queues become longer = dungeon EXP getting worse relative to other options while queues just got longer.
