    I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

    PC/NA Healer and Tank pop as soon as I'm done clicking the queue button for vet dungeons, every time.

    Depends on dungeon also. For random as tank it's roughly 15 seconds. Vet random. 20 to 25 seconds. Vet Mazzatune last night was 7 minutes.
    PvP needs more love.

    Healer and tank are instant. DPS is like 30-40 minutes.

    Time and Day does make a huge difference on the time.

    PC/NA. I can honestly say I've never waited longer than 3 minutes for a que pop on my healer.

    I voted healer, but since I resubbed and started using the random dungeon finder I rarely wait more than 5 min once I que as a DPS, so I doesn't seem to matter as much anymore.
    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    No.... healer isn't instant. Not at all.

    Tank is almost always instant.

    Without question healer and tank are neck in neck for near instant q pops. DD's can literally wait hours.

    Generally insta--pop as a healer but not always. Tank is instant every time.

    Tank is definitely faster than healer but healer is good enough that I can cherry pick the specific one I want to do for the skill point and still get a group in 2 or 3 minutes... try that with DPS :)

    My tank is usually in seconds. Healer is a little longer. It's really only on my dps that I have to wait around.

    I'm so spoiled on my tank. If I want to run a random normal dungeon, I can hop in groupfinder on a whim and get a group near instantly. If I have to wait for more than a minute, I start to get worried that the groupfinder is broken again. Spoiled, I know. :)

    That being said, when I'v queued as DPS while grouped with a friend who is healer, we have also found groups for random normals very quickly.

    Ok, so tank wins the poll by far. But why people don't like playing as a tank?
    I know it's the role that gets kicked out mostly, and it sucks even as a good tank.
    But play wise, it's so easy, put on good gear, good cp allocation and skills slotted.
    In dungeons just taunt and stand there don't even need to move, then a few button for shield. Couldn't be more easier to play.
    Dps got rotations so buttons every sec.
    Healer need to keep heal over time up so and watch out health dips, so buttons every sec.
    Tank, maybe a button every 3 sec, it's so easy..

    Being an "OK" Tank is easy, but being a Tank that is "Good" is not as easy. Its the difference between a Tank that you put up with to run something vs the Tank that gets asked constantly during the day if they want to run this or that Dungeon. Its the difference between doing the minimum required job vs doing the best you can in everyone dungone to CC, Debuff or otherwise support.

    On PS4/Xbox/PC healer is instant for me no matter what time of day, no matter what dungeon.

    Interesting, on PC NA, very rarely get instaqueues as a healer, and in many cases will wait 20-30 mins queueing as a healer, especially in the off hours.

    Tank is instant >95% of the time.

    Tank by far. Always instant whether in group (of any composition) or not.

    Healer can be instant if solo, but can take 15-30 minutes if with one DPS.

    Yea healer queue on PS4 na has been increasing, and tank are so hard to find, and any low level tank would do.
    That's why I recently abandoned my healer and played tank instead.

    That's nuts cuz on PC/Xbox/PS4 NA/EU healer is an instant queue especially in the off hour because there's less healers queueing in non primetime.

    It might be easier but it's also boring, especially with a bad group where the dps output is low. They can't really do much to help out with the DPS since their gear, stats, CP etc is all to boost their tanking. A good healer can help out the bad dps much more easily since max magicka, spell dmg etc is helping out with both roles.

    At least that's been my experience so far.
