Dungeon Queue Time Tank/Healer

Ninga0809

Just curious, do tanks have longer queue times or do healers?

Either way, if I have a queue time of over a minute or two, I start to wonder if the Groupfinder is broke again.

Tank is pretty much guaranteed an insta-queue. Healer might have to wait for a minute or so.

Tank is instant, though healer I have had to wait up to like 5 minutes.

Thank you all for the reply! One of the reasons i love my healer is the shorter queue time, but yesterday I waited a full 25 minutes for a vet dungeon which never happened b4. Guess it's time for me to train a tank

Long queue times for healers or tanks is probably because of finder bug. Leaving queue and re enter tend to solve this.

In my experience queue time for DD doing vet pledges or random normal is 10-15 minutes much longer and leaving queue and re-queue tend to help, you will not loose your place in the queue.

Also some refused the invite tend to be the finder itself freaking out.

Healer queue is a lot shorter than dps, but it happened a few times, that I was in the queue for 5-10-20 mins so I rerolled to tank. Since than most queues are instant or less than 2 mins.

My personal experience
Que as tank takes 5 secs where as dungeon takes 1 hour
Que as dps takes ~20 mins where as dungeons take 10 mins

My queues as a healer on PC/NA are commonly exceeding 5 minutes now. That used to be rare.

This is for specific pledges. I don't do randoms except during the annual event, or occasionally when I'm leveling a character.

It's almost like no one wants to tank 😂

I always go tank, more tank dps on normal for quick runs. Faster entry, faster completion rate and because I take taunt I don't have to run after the boss as others are scared of getting hit in Normal haha Win win

Then you get 200 cp dps and 800 cp pvp dps spamming reverse slice and you realise how quick the dungeon would be

On my Tank it pops relatively quickly. Healer is similar but sometimes a few minutes. However, last night the Group Finder bugged out and did not work.

Kept getting "someone declined....." until we were kicked from queue and this was with a pre-made four person group. We finally had to manually port to Vet Vaults of Madness to do the daily Pledge.

I cannot wait to see how bad it's going to be starting in 7 minutes when the Event boxes are rewards for doing the Pledges.

Pug tanking is quick: but make a few tanks so if you get bad dps you can just drop group and re-queue with another tank while your first tank cools off on the 15 min penalty. You will know bad dps in the first few rooms when you see it.

I main tank and rarely do I have to wait more than 30 secs to a minute.

This. Having a no queue time comes with a 45 minutes normal dungeon since the majority of the DDs can't play their role.
