Yes, something should be done!

We need more roles, the current 3 aren't enough. I'd like to queue with more than three ...

How shall i fix it then ?

Sometimes I do accidentally if I left it from the last time I ran with my guild, but i never choose a role I cant do. Usually just DPS and Healer.

Also, for the daily random, if you have less than 4, you need to select multiple roles

Jhalin

You can already queue as more than one role

MrBetadine

Unless you can perform more than one role. From my experience with pugs, it's often not the case.

idk

Many of us can perform more than one role in dungeons just fine. I merely queue for the heck of it most of the time. It is not hard for me to form a group from my guild and clear any dungeon in the game.

Most of the characters I queue on can perform multiple roles with ease and properly except for a couple tanks can only tank. Most of the time the queue pops for me to heal or tank. I am certainly not going to wait for a queue to pop.

The rare time I end up in a group where the tank is a true dps, though with a taunt, they have not been very good but we still clear without issue. It merely costs someone a few soul gems because that dps tank often dies. Probably a bad dps to begin with.

However, I do not peeps who can dps tank the dungeons just fine and changes to full tank gear for the few bosses that actually need that.

BTW, the poll has to answers that both say it is fine as it is. 2nd and 3rd option are the same.

Betsararie

Absolutely not.

What about the people who are 2 roles? They need to be allowed to queue as such.

Leave as is.

If you que as tank have a taunt. Que as heals have a heal. That's all that I care about

Caligamy_ESO

For some reason this gave me the idea of queueing as a spectator for watching dungeons for the purpose of learning mechanics and fight techniques. How cool would that be?

ArchMikem

Yes.

Lock out the other two once one is chosen. Choosing a different one locks the first one out so it's impossible to have more than one selected. All people do that for is to get into groups more quickly, but when a subpar DPS takes up the Healer or Tank spot that just spells failure for the whole group.

I que heal and DPS and change gear and skills for role. I assume Templars can do all three pretty easily doing what I do on a warden. It's vet dungeons not trials

Mojmir

Need an option to que as "carry", that way it's easier to kick on sight. Lol

And @ArchMikem wants longer queue times. He is also telling me I am restricted to one role even though I can heal and dps speed runs in most dungeons with most characters.

I would laugh at this if Zos was short sighted enough to implement such a thing as I would avoid the GF and let those queued hand for longer. lol.

Any healer can DD, same with tanks outside of health builds and nobody cares if dps is decent, tank want an DD setup anyway for non tauntable bosses.

Question is why you should do it? Healer and tank queues are not problematic long and you take the spot for one who can only DD if you enter as DD.

(clarification no one wants someone queuing as a tank and DPS or healer and a DPS etc etc it messes with the group. If you queue as a tank make sure you have some kind of area taunt excetera excetera for each class. )

What is an area taunt?

Runschei

For a normal dungeon I will queue as all 3 classes. If I do end up being the tank I wilm ofc slot a taunt. As a magica nightblade I already have tons of healing in my build so that's ok for normal dungeons. I would never do this for vet tho.

Pele

If you're getting huffy at tanks for having no AoE taunt, I think I see your issue.

As for the poll, I'm not even sure what it's asking. If you're asking if players should be allowed to queue as more than one role then I vote hell yes. Leave it as is.

Why punish those who can do multiple roles because of those who lie by choosing roles they can't perform? The solution to those liars is already in the game -> votekick.

No such thing as an area taunt.

Try again.

I don't mind if you queue as more than one role. But if you enter as a tank, you use a bow and lose half of your health each time a mob of the first trash group hits you then we have a problem: you.

Qbiken

Depends, if it´s a normal dungoen It doesn´t matter. If it´s veteran you should que as correct role.

Asardes

On my sorc I queue as both tank and DD for non-DLC vet, if I happen to need the monster head or some purple jewelry. If I end up as tank I simply replace inner light with inner rage, keep aggro and do DPS at the same time. I usually end up doing 50-60% of group DPS in this setup too. So there's nothing wrong with that.

KeiruNicrom

If you are a mag build then sure. A quick gear and skill swap can be the only difference between a DD and a healer for the most part. Tanks and stamina DD probably shouldnt....unless stamina warden is DD or healer. Woot stam heals

gronoxvx

for normal dungeons, then it doesnt faze me. But for vet dungeons its my pet hate (espcially dlc dungeons). I dont care how much dps you can get on a test dummy, if you have people queuing for dungeons outside their role it makes it that much more frustrating to complete. Perfect example is dps's queuing as tanks, but refuse to take aggro, or those that stand back and light attack with bows and complain when the team wipes

Yes, we need a cheerleader role!

MinarasLaure

Too many variables.
Depends on the class, dungeon and player skills.
But there are many people around that can play two roles with the same toon.
So I'd leave it the way it is

I don't mind people queuing as multiple roles as long as they fulfill their assignment. It's very easy in normal dungeons, requires some experience for vets. What I do mind are DDs queuing as tanks with no taunt, dying constantly or healers without any heals (or just bol slotted on a magplar DD).

I do queue my magsorc as both DD and healer sometimes. I can do really decent DPS (~25k) while healing. In fact, thanks to gear and cp allocation for DD which also boosts heals, my tooltips for eg. healing springs or regen are higher than on my heal-only templar with SPC and worm (without spc procced). True, tooltip values are not all, and for some content I just change gear or relog to my templar healer. But, mind you, I prioritise heals over damage when getting into dungeon as a healer.

I don't really have a character capable of both DD and tanking (either I'm too squishy for a tank or my dps sucks without CP/attrib realloc).

Shardan4968

I was in PUG where tank had destro staff and medium armor. I don't know what he was, but definitely not a tank. There shouldn't be option to queue as all three roles. If there is such thing as good tank and good DPS at the same time, then why it isn't meta yet?

DeadlyRecluse

When/if i pug, i typically queue as multiple roles, but I carry multiple gearsets to do that. Removing that functionality would be very frustrating and wouldn't stop people queueing as support roles to bypass the longer DPS queue.

Karmanorway

I think its okay if u have many cps, and in normal dungeon. sometimes with my magsorc i use inner fire and keep spamming shields, works wonders
