Yup, you did the same thing again, just googled that at random. You really have no clue. Not a lot of input in there, a long time ago, leveling dungeons (there are trusts for that now too !), squadrons being mentioned, yada, yada.
true, but the premise is the same, nobody yells “look how much i healed”.
instead of saying “look at that crit”
you cannot find posts without google ne, if you want i can go to GCBTW and find many more posts about it.
Oh for sure, I main a Tank in every MMO since EQ. There has always been a shortage of tank/healer in any MMO, but the way the Party Finder and Matchmaking works here there is just… not a whole lot of good options for the casual who doesn’t have a static to engage in current content right now. Even guilds of 30-40 active are struggling to help get extra runs in for everyone.
I’m going to park my dps main and push the Paladin just so I can sell my soul for gold and raid slots.
What’s wrong with party finder, other than people obviously being obnoxious?
Matchmaking is fine for lower level content, for high level you can see everyone’s gear and guesstimate how would things go if you join them.
If they add some kind of performance chart for people in party finder, it would get incredibly toxic.
So, there we go 
Didn’t even have time for the 24 because it instantly procced lol. DPS don’t have an issue in XIV, even in savage pug.

yea that’s my point all along, but some dude keeps trying to put wool over my eyes saying that there are just as many healers than DPS in his perfect mmo.

That’s special lol.
alright now do it as a healer and try to take a picture before the queue menu goes away.
It’s just BALANCED my dude, healer is the same except 24 takes longer, that’s all. What do you fail to understand in what I’m saying. Healers have terrible gameplay, but they are PLAYED because of how simple they are.
its faster because more players likes to play a DPS than a healer or tank.
that’s the entire point of this discussion, the fact that you did not take a picture proves it.
people enjoy DPS more than heals, that’s a fact.
I’m telling you it’s the SAME pictures, LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. And that DPS are just as fast if not FASTER for 24.
Compared to LA, you don’t need to pour tons of resources into one, you can just quick swap for an easy roulette. Oh and let’s talk about pictures when mine are from live and yours are necro threads just googled seconds ago yes.
you are going off topic, my point is that players like playing as a dps more than a healer in any mmo.
but instead you are trying to so hard to defend your perfect mmo not going on topic.
Absolutely not, I was going on the fact that maining support in LA doesn’t feel impactful and is tedious, and that it might be the big factor in why there is such a shortage. I’ll defer to my original post.
yes it’s tottaly not because doing high damage is more exciting in an action paced game than providing shields.
as i said even in ffxiv it’s the same case, its very known that people prefer to DPS more than heal, there is no argument in this.
Yes I agree, I’m only talking about representation in terms of proportions, and is why I initially compared it to FFXIV. Because even when there is need for only 2 supports out of 8 players, the shortage is drastic in Lost Ark.
Figures you’re not a healer. I’m not trying to turn support classes into rocket sciences but yes there are rotations and there are shields, various attack buffs and healing. It’s like saying dps is spam spam and some more spam.
Apart from that I believe that the slow paced leveling with support classes compared to dps classes also is a factor when players choose what to play. Support classes don’t really start to shine before they get into tier 3.
And finally maybe one of the most important reasons why support do not get to Valtan are the prices on accessories. “Meh we don’t have any support” QQ - BUT people completely “forget” that when they go and sell their accessories on the auction house and charge the white out of the eyes for support accessories, charging between 5-15k gold per piece. They go into some sort of a frenzy state when they see “desperate salvation” or “expert” (or both).
THANK YOU, goodness man.
the amount was not my point just the general idea that in any mmo there is always more dps than healers or tanks.
glad we agree on that.
as for lost ark drastic lack of support all we can do is wait or join a guild, alot of supports actually are in guilds and run it on statics.
in KR there is a slight shortage of support in brelzhase hard.
Only real solution to needing more supports is to make one yourself
I still have one character slot left and that’s probably going to be a bard
Be part of the solution
I’m just saying to someone new to the game it wouldn’t be what they would want to start as a starting class. It isn’t like a traditional MMO where you are pretty useful all along the way.
In LA you are solo pretty much from the start on, so most people who just picked up the game are gonna try a support early, decide it’s a rough way to start out and swap to a dps main.
So now we have this top heavy raid content where you are locked out after your weekly clear and a hundred party finders sitting looking for Supports since Friday afternoon onward. If there wasnt’ an issue, we wouldn’t have run the pool dry a day and a half after release.
