Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.2 -
ixthUA✭✭✭✭✭VariousAt some point i realized that waiting in queue is longer than waiting newbie DDs to kill things.0

✭✭✭✭✭Super VIP tankWhen I solo queue, I queue as tank. Duo queue I queue as tank or DPS. I mostly tank nowadays not only because the queue is fast but also because I just really enjoy tanking and helping PUGs get through content. I find myself in runs sometimes that I know most other tanks would drop out of but I try my best to make it work, be it through slotting a heal or by painfully wrangling things until they eventually die. I do pugs for the people more than the dungeons nowadays, the happiness of people getting clears brings me great joy.PC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

Maybe it's the only way for you to do it on oakensorc. I'm fine with every dps-build with is capable to bring the necessary numbers.Never get between a cat and it's candy!

✭VIP healerHealer.
If I queue as DPS, it takes forever and I worry people might complain about my damage.
If I queue as Tank, I worry people will complain about my tanking and I don't have every mechanic memorized.
As healer, next to nobody has seemed to really care about me. I get fast queue times and to spend much of my time playing DPS without the expectation of big damage and I have the kit to save myself when I stand in stupid. In the event that the group actually needs healing I get to feel useful.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Variousif im queueing for a dungeon, most of the time im playing on my tank because i want the shorter queue time, the actual time spent in the dungeon is less of a issue for me
if im queueing as one of my dps because thats what i want to play, ill knock out other things while waiting on the queue like maps, skyshards, or just fight a WB for the fun of it, better than standing around doing nothingplays PC/NA

SoraJP✭✭✭VariousOakensoul fake heal. It's to the point where If I queue as DD and get a real healer in the group, I hate it. It's soooo much faster with 3 DPS (all vet DLC dungeons, nonhm, can be done this way). Especially when I'm doing 75% of the damage as a fake healer. Even had some cases where I'm tankier than the tank, who claims he is a real tank.PC/NA Khajiit Warden Main1

"Real" healers should do a lot of DPS in dungeons anyway. Just wear and proc a Major Courage set for yourself and others, and bring a good crossheal for emergencies.

Well, and there are still players around denying brokensoul in it's current state is bad for the game and groupplay in general

ixthUA✭✭✭✭✭VariousFrom the poll results, after i put things into this perspective, there are far less DDs in the poll than DDs in the game.
Tank queue is instant, 1 sec or less. DD queue is like 300-600 seconds, so the are like 450 times more DDs than tanks?0 -

i wish the dps queue was 5-10 minutes lol, ive literally sat in the queue as a dps for almost 45 min before getting into a dungeon before lol (queued solo)
i find the minimum time for a dps queue is like 15 minutes, but the avg is closer to 20-30 minplays PC/NA

✭✭✭VariousIf I want to run a dungeon multiple times, i.e. Fungal 1 pledge day, then I queue my tanks. If I want a quick random normal, tank. If I don't care and am doing other things, DD. If its a brand new dungeon that opened that week, DD.0 -
Blood_again✭✭✭✭✭I don't agree with your classification.
In 4-people content it is not about importance, but about responsibilities.
If I'm in the mood to work and be full responsible for what happens: where the boss stands and looks at, was he interrupted in time, do big mobs hit our healers etc - I queue as tank.
If I'm more relaxed but ready for some responsibilities like saving dummy who stayed in red - I run as healer.
As damager I can make silly things almost everywhere and the run will be smooth anyway.
So I would mark you groups like
Tanks - parents
Healers - big siblings
Damage dealers - bustling kindergarden0 -

✭VIP healerI run healer mostly because my hands don't let me play Guitar Hero DD efficiently enough anymore. Hard to keep up a solid rotation with mangled joints. I like Healing, it's more proactive and less reactive, I'm good at it, and when push comes to shove, I can bring the party back from the edge of disaster with some nifty Nightblade tricks.
I also Tank from time to time, but I find that less fun than healing. as it's basically a DD until you reach an actual boss- Tybalt Kaine Khajiit Nightblade Aldmeri Dominion
