It’s so satisfying to just stop healing jerk dps though, what would i do without that entertainment? Dps? Pfft

It seems hardly anyone is playing this game right now. I’m making this judgement based on the queue time on the 2nd day of the expansion, and that I’m just not seeing many players in the world itself. Maybe things will pick up on the weekend?
It’s happening on leveling dungeons that have end of zone/story quests as well.
Clearly someone felt it was very important to make these changes.
The queue is much shorter when you get to 60.
People who turn 60 have ilvls of ~80, nowhere near high enough to queue. That’s what I was hearing last night. What is the ilvl of level 59 gear?
so just ‘attempted’ to run necrotic wake - (which i had done numerous times) on normal - dps ignore worms - die to AOE damage - the usual refrain ‘heals is bad’ - this is why you have a 2 hour queue…
I read into the normal dungeons, i found too many bosses have mechanics people are known for ignoring. Posts in this thread dont exactly sooth that concern. Ill keep my tanking to friends only for now.
I was 135 when I hit 60.
It’s more than just this. Running random dungeons gives extra XP. Tanks and heals who run dungeons in this expansion quickly out-level the world content which gates dungeons. I’m sitting at lvl 58 and am locked-out of queueing for random dungeons. I’m now forced to farm green quests in Maldraxxus, to unlock the next dungeon, which is lvl 56. By the time I unlock it, I’ll be lvl 60 and probably won’t be able to queue for it.
My reward for healing random dungeons while leveling is that I’m now locked out of random dungeons. Yes, there’s a dearth of tanks and heals in this game, but the leveling mechanics of this expansion have further reduced that number. Maybe it’s deliberate. Maybe Blizzard thinks using a stick on paying customers is the way to get people to play more tanks and healers. Maybe it’s just a terrible mechanic.
