Why dont you use RAID FINDER?

[NebulaRose]

I prefer to do harder content with my FC members.

Because Party Finder just fills the same role as Raid Finder but more. Why would you choose the more limited and linear option when a far more flexible and superior one exists?

but this isn't the case raid finder wont double up on classes like a lot of people think it even says that. the whole DF people are bad thing is stupid as well pf and DF pool from the same group of people the data center so these "bad DF" players are your pf players.
for those who go well if i find a bad person in my pf i can just back out and kick them. well yea you can do that but how many times do you do that and half the party leaves before you can even kick the problem person because most people aren't gonna sit around waiting when there are 10 other parties running the same thing.

Party finder sucks if you want to go in, get a single clear, and get out. Every clear party wants to suddenly transition to farms once they've got it. If you can't stand doing that, raid is actually better. Go in, get the clear or do the learning party, go out.

When I see the “more than 30 minutes” for the queue time in RF with my tank, it’s just a nope. If nobody else queues for it, why should I? Almost every PF is needing tanks and heals. It’s just quicker.

And not wanting to join PF because it turns into a farm party?? You’re lucky to even get a clear in most PF parties lol. Even the ones that say “FARM party, skip soar or disband!!” can barely clear content, lol.

This is the story of my life with PF. To be frank, both RF and PF are equally unfun avenues for dealing with content.

Right now its because the jobs I can do Byakko with (PLD and DRK though I mostly just do PLD) have shorter wait times if I go through PF compared to DF. I actually did use DF for Susano and Lakshmi in part because I found I was able to get clears more often there even if it took a little bit more time to get through them. No point getting in faster if most PF groups I ended up in kept dieing and not clearing.

To me this looks like two of the same healer or tank job is still possible, which to my understanding would slow down the LB generation.

No. Its not. Only the "fourth unspecific job" can be a double depending on the selected checkbox. That was said in the live letter while introducing this feature and my own first hand experience confirms this.

During creator I've done alot of A9S and A10S weekly kills on my twink in Raidfinder with "cleared" and "clear" selected and there was never a double job.

I have a recorded RF queue practice Shinryu EX on patch day

So you can show me that proof?

There were some "modifications" later on RF. But this was more about "let a practise last phase" into a "clear" group than changing the match making of jobs.

However, the most recent patch notes regarding the limit gauge penalty are the patch 3.2 notes:

[2.0][3.0] In keeping with balance changes for certain dungeons and trials, the rate at which the Limit Break Gauge fills has been adjusted as follows:
Dungeons and trials accessible solo via the Duty Finder:
The Limit Break Gauge will no longer fill more slowly when multiple members of the same class/job are in the party.

Dungeons and trials requiring a full party to register via the Duty Finder:
The Limit Break Gauge will fill more slowly under the following conditions:

Three or more party members are playing as tanks.
Five or more party members are playing as DPS.
Three or more party members are playing as healers.
Two or more party members are playing the same class or job.

Class/job roles are as follows:
Tank: Gladiator / Marauder / Paladin / Warrior / Dark Knight
DPS: Pugilist / Lancer / Rogue / Monk / Dragoon / Ninja / Archer / Thaumaturge / Arcanist / Bard / Black Mage / Summoner / Machinist
Healer: Conjurer / White Mage / Scholar / Astrologian

Matched parties don't get penalized.

Bad experiences it's no better than a pug group at times.
I raid with my fc and discord. I don't use a mic but can hear call outs and have stuff explained.
