    DRG main, and I tank roulettes.

    I've been berated for pulling too much in dungeons, and i've been told to pull more as well (although nicer in tone). I do agree there was some anxiety at first, but honestly, once I got over the hump I really stopped caring. Now I check the healers gear and if its not leveling gear, I pull to the wall, aoe down, and turn off tank stance if healer is adequate.

    I feel pretty certain tank stance is there for people to get comfortable with tanking and I think people who are scared of tanking just need to keep giving it a shot, you will get comfortable in time. Learn from mistakes and keep pugging away.

    and as a result, now that I have my 2 DRK mounts, I went from being scared to tank to barely using tank stance at all and focusing on as much DPS as I can, just like DRG. It's pretty fun.

    Bruh have you ever played as tank before? It's the easiest role out of the three and has the adventurer in need bonus 99% of the time in dungeons and daily roulettes lol

    RIGHT HERE. Sorry, I enjoyed this comment so much I wanted to expand on it with my own comment. Them dumbing down PvP from what it was in HW was exactly why I stopped playing. (well, that and only ever getting Shatter... I'll just say my opinion of shatter is the first four letters.) I enjoyed going into Seal Rock and running around as a Warrior with all the cool PvP abilities it had and having the time of my life. PvP Warrior used to be the most fun thing in this game that I'd actually get a nightly group together where we played PvP randomly and it was really really fun. Especially when amazing moments like holmganging enemies into Adrenaline attacks, getting every person to attack you just to have them die because of Pushback and Vengance.

    Back on topic, I personally just play everything. I tank, I heal, I dps. Because I know that if something is needed, it's needed. It's not just some "Oh, let's have someone else do it." I learned WHM for Ex Trials, I learned how to play Warrior in Byakko to keep as many people as needed coming into the party. If you can't do the same, deal with the longer queue times. I did, because I was leveling every single DPS and used to main Ninja (just to find out I don't like HW Nin). If you don't enjoy tanking, if you don't enjoy healing, and really just want to play DPS for all eternity, then complaining when DPS, the roll with the MOST PEOPLE PLAYING IT and the MOST CLASSES IN THE GAME TOTAL, you don't get the right to complain when DPS queues are long. (just like how if you chose a popular race, a popular outfit, or popular hair/face you don't get to complain that you aren't unique looking.)

    Also, to keep you from wondering, the reason you have no right to complain is because you either did it to yourself or are not helping the problem.

    I like to have fun with it sometimes. Set up a PF for DPS only, and do a queue like that. Or get some DPS friends to help you out. It induces a fun variation to the normal play. My girlfriend and I play duo Dragoon most of the time, and we have fun with it.

    As with the poster above, I play all three classes because I want to fit in where I'm needed. Granted, I run with an FC for the most part (which, to be fair, may also be an option you haven't considered - if you have an FC, you should have a group of people that can help you get into/through dungeons), but even though my main is healer I have dps and a tank all at 70 so that if I'm needed for something else I can fill in a spot (even though, for example, I don't enjoy tanking and am not confident in it).

    Do I blame you for not wanting to play something you don't enjoy to queue? No, but on the same hand, everybody else should be able to play whatever they want to queue. Somebody else shouldn't be forced to give up the class they enjoy solely so that you can have a faster queue time.

    I have a tank role as my main Job to plow through story mode and get things unlocked. I keep him relatively up there in iLev and I have a DPS at cap and I'm casually working on a healer. But Tank = Insta-Queue, so worth having one in your arsenal!

    They just can't make tanks any easier to handle at a base level. You have your 123 combo, a few cooldowns, and an I WIN, spammable, aoe threat button.

    If people can't figure out how to tank 1-70 roulette with this toolkit, I don't want them tanking. No matter how long the queues get.
