I don't know what game you are talking about, but you guys don't have selfheal?

I love Guild Wars 2

I was hoping for the same thing.

Well, that was SWTOR's answer to the long queue problem. They redesigned all dungeons to come with overpowered healing stations to allow DPS only groups to clear them. Of course this had the unintended side effect of making healers dead weight in regular dungeon queues. That said, the hard mode dungeons don't come with the adjustments and still require full groups. They also allow skill and class respecification on the fly to alleviate the long queues in hard modes. And it has definitely helped. The queues in that game aren't nearly as bad as other games.

@@redshirt49 They holy trinity has one major flaw, x10 more players wanna play DPS over Healers and even less want to play tanks. Never understood why though, Tanks were actually easier and more fun to play than healers. SWTOR had terrible operations from the start though. But Raid and pvp wise in the first year of launch Darkness sins(tank) running biochem were probably one of the most OP characters in the game.

@@nikushim6665 depends on the type of healer you are. Sorcs are easiest and efficient but are very stationary, while resource management is a lot harder on merc and op heals, especially in longer fights. And well people don't like playing tanks because everything about tank builds makes them sucky for efficient solo play, so most people just casually playing will be on dps or healer at any given time.

I see that as a win-win. You don't need healing if the enemies are dead before they can hit you! Or just bring a shit ton of pots.

Absolutely. Really wish they'd put out more outtake compilations.

Sign up and enjoy Eorzea today. But actually don't sign up, you'll end up liking it way more than WoW and will probably spread the WoW toxicity into the wonderful player base that is ffxiv and also make the housing market worse

I played a shaman in WoW, I would sign up as DPS and wait for forever to get a dungeon run, and when eventually got them, someone would invariably ask: "You have a healer build too don't you, would you mind healing/off-healing?" Every...fudging...time. Without fail.

Its not classist, its maintaining a balance. These games try to build on teamwork and strategy but DPS is the weakest in both areas. Everyone wants to be the hero while few are willing to be support is the real problem here.

@@swskitso The main protagonist in such games is anyway the tank. It's the one fighting the boss, while healer(s) and damage supports him. Still, well played dps makes most dungeons a snore fest for tanks and healers, because they bring usually good control and with focus fire anything that could hit the tank will die before it even reach him. (slows 4tw btw)

@@Traumglanz just because the tank agros the enemy to take the attacks does not make them the main protagonist. In a solo playthrough DPS will always outshine tanks and healers. Who is actually fighting the boss is debatable, the tank may be taking all the hits but may not be able to deliver enough damage before his life is lost, the DPS may be able to deliver the damage but cant stand up to too many attacks himself. I dont play online much, i prefer dnd with actual friends, but i have been playing games regularly for near 30 years and in my experience DPS is your best choice for soloing adventures.

@Tariq Ali I understand the feeling. As a WoW CaTa shaman player here. I grinded elemental gear while questing and got healing gear in dungeons... Hunters and shamans are the only ones using mail armor so lucky us for equipment in ele/resto area. BUT, I would sign up as dps and get healers who where so bad we would have to kick them or tell them to stop healing... they were dps that just got tired of waiting 30min-2h in que. (I was doing achievements that took days to complete so I was fine waiting) Then I would just heal the rest and would be able to finish fine. A bad tank though, was something I did not know how to fix. 1/5 of the 5man dungeons went this way for me, how about for you?

Honestly that's what I was expecting

Well... really strong dps do dung easy without tank and hel. In my game heal generally heal tank... than I have a lot of autoheal stuff as dps cos I can't really count at heal.

Thats what i was thinking.

@@sirhana if it’s a new raid, then it’s a top level raid. A top level raid, you need an even party. If the group is nothing but DPSes, then the monsters will swarm EVERYONE, and EVERYONE WILL DIE. Healer and Tank are a minimum requirement. Controller generally makes up for your not all dps party.

I was expecting them to leave and him letting in the next two DPS :D

Yep but you pay the price outside of dungeons. Depending on the game, often even some solo world quests aren't possible, leveling is slow and you get facerolled in PVP. I loved playing a healers back in the early 2000s (WoW, EQ) but I knew what I was signing up for because much of the enjoyment of the game is entirely dependent on other players. If you get a bad tank or DPS that's pulling aggro it's a bad day and you get blamed. Then you get out of the dungeon and everything else is harder for you than it is for anyone else. Gosh, I miss those days. : )

I healed for 6 years in WoW, I remember when Cata launched and they Fucked over healer mana. So many people coming from Wrath still expected healers to heal everything as they leeroyed dungeons. I was vote kicked a lot at the start of Cata, and many a time going into a dungeon DPS and tank would make a comment " hope you're a good healer". And then proceed to leeroy the first group.

@@spencers4121 Yeah, I had dropped WoW before Cata but I can imagine. I was a Vanilla Priest and a really good one too (I think we were top 25 in the world to clear BWL). Then BC came out and they nerfed the hell out of Priest healing which kind of sucked so I drifted away from the game. I came back for WotLK and had fun again but the magic was mostly gone. I got so tired of tanks just racing through instances pulling every trash mob in the game with no regards to tactics, no crowd control, no aggro control....nothing that made Vanilla actually challenging. I loved strategizing every group, marking targets, sheeping one, MCing another, trapping a 3rd and then executing a well-crafted plan. Those were the days...

@@waltblackadar4690 so basically healers and tanks are just servant of players who doesn't want to bother with healing or tanking?

@@dakedakinson64 In vanilla WoW (or Everquest, WAR Online, etc.) for questing and PvP,, tanks and healers would always be at a severe disadvantage. I remember that in EQ I had to almost always get help questing while some classes could solo and therefore level up faster and on their own time. But in instances? That's when the tables are turned and DPS gets the short end of the stick. Healers and tanks rule because most people weren't willing to suffer the leveling/PvP disadvantages. And you had to have tanks and healers to make it through that content.

Eh, I feel like if the dungeon goes smooth the tank/healer get props. Though bad dps blaming you for not keeping them alive after they draw aggro was definitely pretty common in pick up groups.

The same thing goes for tanks. The tanks and healers are the scapegoats of mmorpgs.

True you either get a really nice team that thank you for doing good and understands a few mistakes (Rare) or people that complain you aren't healing after helping someone else for 3 seconds

@@ladylunara5 Is ESO good? Heard a few things about it with mixed responses and been wanting to try it out.

Or the tank left 10 minutes ago and you got added just as the DPS began to leave in frustration as well, because the estimated waiting time for a new tank is 40 minutes. And the new tank will join right after the healer has left anyway.

Reading all these experiences in comment section makes me wonder why Alan Brock thought a lack of random dungeon finder in vanilla is good argument against launching Classic xD. Sure. Group leaders still may replace you before getting in just for your class or gear, but you usually won't join a dungeon that's already in progress or groups where DPS joined as a tank cause that dungeon is easy anyway and we don't need no tank and you all are just bad. Also vote to kick feature abuse.

Worse is when I do both heal and tank based on need and get people who only do 1 role arguing. Like, dude, i know your job better than you do *and* every elses. Don't argue with good tanks XD

I'm sure when they see this comment they taught we should have done the final like this. well said

Am a fake healer lol I never que dps in eso. Healers get insta que

@@ZITOBURRITO Heal que on EU servers are starting to get longer now most likely because of DD`s fake healing. Not insanely long, but neither are DD que xD

Haven't played for a couple of years, but that's why you only run with guild.

Outside of certain HMs healers aren't needed in ESO dungeons. Well, GOOD healer can make GOOD DPSs do more damage than he would've done as a 3d DPS, but outside of guild farm groups you are highly unlikely to find good DPS. Furthermore, every GOOD DPS farmed maelstorm arena and thus have no problem in tanking ESO dungeons either.

The funny part is that it's really easy to do the tank role even with DPS queue as long as you have your taunt and have a solo build in mind (which means you would be use to soloing dungeons and thus have the sustain to be perform the basics of a tank role).

Toram reference?

Yep, maybe that's Toram. When i was a Mage dps, so difficult to find party especially at "Venena" so i decide to create a new one, Tank. Usually in some mmorpg that i was played, i choose DPS but i realized that queue for dps i so long. I just focus on DPS to reach top damage until i get bored and try to do something new like how it feels to be a different roles like Tanks and Healers.

No she wanted to be a tank.

I always play healer!! Back when I played WoW I always got into raids.

Lol, my first WoW character was a shadow priest, back during classic. Can't tell you how many groups i was booted for being DPS instead of heals. But then, why would i want to be healer? They were criticized so mercilessly whenever the party wiped, and of course, the teams failure could never be the tanks fault! Unless you are the Tank, then your thinking, "I'm up the creek because this failed team can never be the healers fault! I get blamed for everything!" There was no winning! :) One memory i vividly have from The Burning Crusade period, was when our main raiding tank got so sick of tanking, that he literally vendored all his gear so that he would never have to tank again! But you know, that was such a huge flipping the bird to all the guild, and especially to all the DPS. The DPS were the bottom rung on gear drop priority. But we were not only expected to defer to tanks and healers on gear drops, we were also expected to sacrifice our crafting resources and cooldowns to outfit the tanks and healers. At the same time we were supposed to miraculously gear ourselves too, and perform top tier as DPS. Usually what actually happened was our guild was used as a stepping stone for tanks and healers to get some basic gear, then move on to a better guild. Rude, yes, but at the same time i can't really blame them for taking advantage of us when we were operating under such screwed up policy! That guild was just one supremely dysfunctional collective! :)

@@budahbaba7856 Yeah thats messed up. I would have left that guild for sure. I only played WoW a bit and was DPS but became healer in FF14. There people are pretty chill and unless the healer is a complete failure they usually leave them alone. The way the game is set up you can really tell who's fault it is.

@@blackmagick77 One game i miss often is Guild Wars, by Arena Net. In that game, while it certainly did help to have healer & tank on your team, it was not absolutely critical. And the nice thing about it was that it was super easy to re-shuffle your characters focus depending on the line up you were playing with and/or against. There were a lot of people who got down on it because of how streamlined and PvP oriented it was, but it served that aspect well, with minimal investment needed by the player to master a class. You could sit down with it and get a handle on your character concept in a short amount of time, and be ready to rock. It was fun. However, all good things must come to an end, and something that poisoned it after a while was the Wikki builds by the math crunchers that popularized overly optimized, cookie cutter builds over the more personalized custom builds like i preferred. Once you knew that all your team mates and opponents were using cookie cutter Wikki builds, that ruined the coolest thing that GW had been about -being able to bring a hero to the fight that was about your own play style and priorities as a team mate! :)

@@budahbaba7856 Yeah! I loved Guild Wars. Guild Wars 2 isn't bad but not the same. Yeah you didn't have tank healer dps like the norm. Everyone could do their own thing for the most part.

Extra annoying in ESO that the party size is 4 so you only have 2 dps spots instead of the more commonly used 3. And I think only Age Of Conan had 4dps spots.

In FF14 its not better 4man party 2dps 1tank 1healer as a dps you need long time to find a dungeon but aa a healer a few seconds....

Easily the first game I thought of as well.

Fake tank and fake healer!! Hit hard and fast boys and gals because either the boss isn't going to stand still or there is no heals.

Which also leads to "fake tanks" and "fake healers"... which is fine if you at least know some basic stuff to pull off the role, like a magdps adding in a few heals to the rotation, or a stamdps adding in some taunts from Undaunted. But the feeling you get when there's a fake tank queing for a Vet dungeon, who rushes in and aggros three groups, gets all of us killed and then leaves, sigh...

Yeah it would be way better if people just played classes they didn’t enjoy so that you could have fun

@@shleemlington699 he didnt say that... he said dont blame tanks/healers for locking yourself into one role leghtening your que time.

@@greenfox3010 that's the issue. If someone wants to play healer, because that's what they enjoy doing with their time, the system ought to enable them to do that, and the same goes for other roles. No one is saying they don't understand why the paradigm exists, but no player is to blame for the fact that people can't play how they want. It's free time, not a job, the ideal situation would be that nobody gets a penalty for playing the way they want to play to wind down after a hard day's work. It's not clear how it should be fixed, but the point is a DPS is not to blame for the fact that queues exist, the very nature of cooperative RPG's is

Being a good tank is more rewarding anyway. DPS usually just hides in the back of the group while as a tank you are knee deep in chaos but you have to be the rock that keeps the party from falling apart.

I almost always do but some games botch the roles so bad. any game which is designed by brainless morons who think Tank = lame meatshield and healer = boring healbot, will ALWAYS have a very severe shortage of those roles.

demon Tank present: i shall make all baddies miserable by pulling gigantic group !.....i Tank i go at my pace to be more precise...no da-ned wrangling rains as if on a dps char......also play as demonic healer.....pull mobs for tanks(without regard for they're comfort zone as i be the one healing the dmg)...cant wrangle rain me by the neck if i play healer either

honestly though....they should give everyone a skill test and just pair baddies together...let the skilled ppl enjoy stuff more at their level....baddies are sickening..alway wrangling skilled players because they're afraid//can't handle some difficulty

Can someone explain what DPS class is? Surely a tank has high DPS?

@@ppytal dps are only putting out damage nothing els! usually dying very fast. tanks take damage and agro and make almost no dps!

@@ppytal Dps do damage, tanks have a slap fight with mobs/boss and healer makes sure tank can keep having a slap fight with the baddies and putting out the booboos that dps got when they were making best friends with the boss aoe attacks.

It reminded me of instance lockout in World of Warcraft due to being in too many instances recently.

As someone who played most major MMOs it actually made me more think of WoWs lockout penalty. If you do too many dungeons in an hour it tells you you can't enter another for a while. Both XIV and WoW also have bonuses for roles in demand and first daily completion. The two games are more similar than you'd think.

the other reason is that tired DPSers join a queue and just afk autoshoot in the back and get a free ride and that's why other DPS 'can't have nice things'

gaz in the tank

In fairness, DPS queues in 14 are much better than they were years ago thanks to the better spread of tanks/healers

I played a black mage in ff14. Now I play eso and instantly switched to a tank haha. No more queue times.

@@aikosachi7138 It helps that people can always opt to switch into tanking or healing. Same thing in SWTOR which has groups of only 4, but SWTOR also lets you stick a companion onto the job you don't want most times. WoW has several classes which don't have the option of tanking or healing, so if you want even to be able to off-tank or off-heal in a pinch, you simply can't play as those classes, thus increasing the ratio of DPS to tanks and healers.

Atleast you can change to tank/healer in ff14 in if you have them leveled up.

Yes, it's common queuing as a tank to get matched before you can get back to the main menu.

What type of game is this supposed to be about? And does dps stand for damage per second?

@@DeadlierHades Yes, dps is damage per second. This video applies to MMOs in general (and ESO is a MMO). Four player dungeons can be fun, but unfortunately well over half of the people queue up as dps instead of going for a tank or healer.

@@SwingDancer61 more like 90-95% go as dps lol

@@MrKnaives Yes, if you're queuing up, you have to queue up as one of those three. I'm not sure when that happened; I didn't go in the dungeons with random groups for a long time.

Oh man, that would have made this even more amazing! It's already too relatable as is.

I was thinking the same lmao

Missed opportunity

I feel that lol ive always gone paladin and most times knew all the other tanks and healers, or if i didnt, they usually knew me xD nobody wants to play those roles, so just have someone play both i always say

If the stories of my teachers about their teachers are to be believed, once upon a time, they basically did! Back in the dark ages of corporeal punishment, one teacher had a custom-made ruler to strike fear in the hearts of those about to receive a smack across their bums. It was constructed to be quite sturdy, with holes drilled through it, so the victim could hear the impending consequences of their life choices catching up to them.

@@ericbambach3222 any adult worth a shit anymore was spanked as a child. I've seen the paddles with names engraved all over them. I meant that my principals were medieval as fuck sometimes lol.

Hasn't really changed. When queueing as DD, bring a healer or tank friend. It's funny because people are convinced the dungeon finder is broken and I have to explain that no, it isn't broken, but when there's a 1000 DDs to every healer or tank, you're going to be waiting a WHILE. Or y'know, queue for lowbie dungeons. Yeah you might wait 20 minutes or so, but not longer than that.

DDs have queue priority now with last patch

But two of the DPS in line have shields! WoW Elemental shaman is the only dps with shield I can think of.

@@jcspoon573 Never played WoW, but good to know, lol
