Fed up of the need of Healers!

[Capita]

I honestly don't see how people are having such a hard time with grouping in this game. The game makes it EASY for you to find groups. You can be ANY class. I play DPS. It's my playstyle. I don't like healing or tanking, because I like doing DPS. That said, I can stand to heal for one dungeon run if it means I don't have to wait for hours to find a group. So I decided to level my CNJ at the same time as my ARC. 5 levels on ARC, 5 levels on CNJ, just grinding FATEs. It is not a difficult process. It takes a little longer, but I also get more money and more GC points on top of it.

I got WHM and BRD simultaneously, and not once have I had to wait longer than 30 seconds for a group in order to progress the storyline. I only play on weekends, and I've still managed to get both classes to 30+, not to mention getting PGL and THM to 20 for no reason. Also note I only played 3-4 hours per day, and didn't play at all during opening week due to 3102 and 1017. I'd probably be 50 on both WHM and BRD by now if I didn't bother with those.

Seriously. Healing a single dungeon run every few levels isn't that bad, even if you're like me and only enjoy DPS.

On that note, here's a little something. I leveled PGL through the main story up to 20, and queued for the intro dungeons as a DPS. Not including the quests in between, it took me almost 7 hours of play time to get past the three dungeons.

1.5 hours in queue for Sastasha, 30 minutes to complete
2 hours in queue for Copperbell, 40 minutes to complete
1.5 hours in queue for Tam Tara, 40 minutes to complete

The week after, my brother, who had just picked the game up, was due for the three dungeons. He had been waiting in queue for over 2 hours. I make a party and queue with him, and it took less than 2 hours to get all 3!

2 seconds in queue for Sastasha, 30 minutes to complete
1 second in queue for Copperbell, 35 minutes to complete
10 seconds in queue for Tam Tara, 50 minutes to complete
