Wish group finder would limit to 1 role choice

So I have a huge problem of using group finder getting a group and the tank and healer are a dps just qued as them to get group faster.

Now I know end game some dungeon like normal ones can be done no tank or heals just dps threw. But when your lvling a new toon, not end game, or on certain dungeons it's nice to have a tank and heals. I really wish zos would add a way for the game to check if your tank or heals ready if not can't que up as those. Or only let you que as 1 role not all 3 just to get a group faster.

I also understand dps que is terribly long to this I say help the problem don't be a part of it make a healer or a tank. If your just farming gear run it on your healer till you get it then bank swap to your toon that needs it. If more people did this then the ones who have to que on dps either for achievements or dailys or whatever could find groups faster as more tanks and healers for groups and less dps clogging the que.

    Personally I think the polite thing to do when leveling an alt is to fill the tank role. Bad dps slows the whole group down, and tanking can be done at any level really and is very forgiving on gear quality levels. The easiest way not to be annoyed is to just tank yourself, then you know the person queuing for that slot is a tank!

    I queue with 3 characters usually.

    My Nightblade is a DPS/Healer (I queue as healer)
    My sorc is a DPS healer (I queue as healer)
    My Templar is a Healer/Tank (I usually queue as healer because I'm thinking of switching her tanking gear).

    What do you suggest I queue as?

    There are a lot of people who legitimately can fill in multiple roles.

    This solution will kill the game for many people, so it's not a good idea at all.

    Any healer could also DD, 90% of tanks would also have an DD build.
    However with the tank and healer shortage its a bit pointless to queue as DD too.
    Add that the group finder might well be stupid enough to pick you as DD leaving some else without healer or tank
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    You may do those things adequately for solo questing, but I've yet to see a Nightblade healer worth jack squat in Vet dungeons.

    1. DPS
    2. DPS
    3. Healer, but only if wearing LA healing set. HA tanking stamina healer really does none of the roles.

    This has been an issue for years.

    Best you can do right now is just vote kick them out of the group. One of the few things I'll vote to kick for.

    I normally main heals myself I have a templar healer and am lvling a new warden healer. I always find that the tank role is filled with a dps and certain bosses hit like a truck and just need a non squishy dps to hold him sometimes.

    My nightblade has successfully healed vet dungeons as well as trials. She was actually my first character to finish vWGT and she was the healer.

    1 and 2. I honestly thing they work better as healers than DPS, but that's just me.
    3. She wears SPC and Worm for healing and Pariah and Armor Master for tanking. She's not a stam build. Reconsidering tanking sets, though I've not settled on anything yet.

    You should probably let go of your preconceptions about what classes can do. Are there people who queue as tank/healer who don't know what they are doing? Yes. But there are plenty of people who can heal and/or tank on the class of their choice, and do it really well.

    Two things.
    Firstly, Nightblade healer might not work in competitive vet trial runs but right now any class can pick up a restro and heal vet dungeons just fine, now that everyone can feed stamina to the group not just Templar.
    Secondly, Magicka Templar tanks do exist (they are OP af in PvP but that's the story for a different day). If you want to do competitive vet trial runs you should go with meta, but it's a vet dungeon, you can easily have a tank setup and a healer setup for your Templar.

    So you are saying, a person should cripple him/herself when that person can legitimately fill in multiple roles? Name a class, I will brainstorm for you a tank setup, a DPS setup and a healer setup for vet dungeons that you can switch on the fly right here right now.

    You can try Ebon + Seducer/Twilight's Embrace. Tanky sets like Pariah and Armour Master are not really needed for PvE content.

    ? You claimed you have never seen a nb healer worth a damn.. people are telling you nb healers are exceptional. I main heal vet hof on nb. Pug or otherwise, if they are built as a healer, there is no reason to assume they are bad any more than a templar showing up in a vet pug should be assumed bad.

    You can always tell when someone is built for tanking vs someone who isn't, even in a leveling dungeon.

    The quality and pace of a dungeon is faaaaaarrrrr higher with an actual tank vs a dps masquerading as a tank. Less deaths and more dps from dps'ers not having to spend their magicka/stamina healing , shielding or dodging because a jerk decided to tank as a dps and can't keep aggro or cc mobs.

    So before anyone throws the first knife, I just want to point out that I think what happened was a misunderstanding.

    Hybrid usually means splitting between stamina and magicka on max resources. I think that's what the person understood when you mentioned "hybrid".

    carry on with the discussions ;)

    Two forum warriors are hardly the rule with running Pug Vets. You and the other guy may be great with your Nightblade healer, but I've yet to see one.

    The thread is about people multi queuing, aka people who "think" they can tank, heal, dps and to a greater extent people who are DPS that don't want to wait.

    Got it?

    I queue with 3 characters usually.

    My Nightblade is a DPS/Healer (I queue as healer)
    My sorc is a DPS healer (I queue as healer)
    My Templar is a Healer/Tank (I usually queue as healer because I'm thinking of switching her tanking gear).

    What do you suggest I queue as?

    You may do those things adequately for solo questing, but I've yet to see a Nightblade healer worth jack squat in Vet dungeons.

    1. DPS
    2. DPS
    3. Healer, but only if wearing LA healing set. HA tanking stamina healer really does none of the roles.

    My nightblade has successfully healed vet dungeons as well as trials. She was actually my first character to finish vWGT and she was the healer.

    1 and 2. I honestly thing they work better as healers than DPS, but that's just me.
    3. She wears SPC and Worm for healing and Pariah and Armor Master for tanking. She's not a stam build. Reconsidering tanking sets, though I've not settled on anything yet.

    You should probably let go of your preconceptions about what classes can do. Are there people who queue as tank/healer who don't know what they are doing? Yes. But there are plenty of people who can heal and/or tank on the class of their choice, and do it really well.

    I'm not saying you don't know how to or can't que as those just only do 1 and make it what your best at don't be a dps with 1 resto staff skill so you que as healer to

    So you are saying, a person should cripple him/herself when that person can legitimately fill in multiple roles? Name a class, I will brainstorm for you a tank setup, a DPS setup and a healer setup for vet dungeons that you can switch on the fly right here right now.

    Lol you missing the point for this post please read all comments before posting. This thread is not telling ppl to not do different roles just only que up for 1 at a time what you are best at and geared for sure everyone can do a lil of everything but my toons still have a dedicated role witch is what I que for. When I wanna be tank instead I switch my gear and skills and que as tank I don't go in as dps set up que as tank to get group faster

    Two things.
    Firstly, Nightblade healer might not work in competitive vet trial runs but right now any class can pick up a restro and heal vet dungeons just fine, now that everyone can feed stamina to the group not just Templar.
    Secondly, Magicka Templar tanks do exist (they are OP af in PvP but that's the story for a different day). If you want to do competitive vet trial runs you should go with meta, but it's a vet dungeon, you can easily have a tank setup and a healer setup for your Templar.

    I'm sure it's possible, but un likely. I've been running pug Vets for two years now.

    I have seen 1, yes 1 adequate hybrid healer. He was a Sorcerer.

    I understand everyone on the forums is Yoloswag420MLG hybrid NB healers, speed running Vet WGT.

    Unfortunately, for 99.98% of players, this is not reality.

    I have never said anything about hybrid healer. What are you talking about?

    Did you miss the topic of this thread?

    Pug NB, Sorc, DK healers (hybrid or not, doesn't matter) are overwhelmingly bad and should feel bad.


    Did you miss topic of this thread it's about peoplewho que as multiple roles to get troupe faster

    Nope. You didn't account for the people that "think" they can do all three roles, so they select them all.

    It's not always a DPS trying to get a group faster.

    It is though tanks que as tanks and get groups normally same for healers yea there may by that 2% who are new and don't know about roles and just que as everything but this is not about them this is about dps who que as other roles to get group faster.

    How exactly would your "solution" solve anything? DPS would just queue solely as tank and/or healer and carry on doing what they are doing.

    Your "solution" will only inconvenience people who actually are set up to both tank/heal etc.
    Kiss the chaos.

    Well if you read the whole post like the very first one the OP it says to add a way for the game to que check if your set up to do a tank or heal. If not it wouldn't let you que. Please read whole thread before posting.
