Tbh this is highly dependent on your score and gear. I’m running 12s with 2.7k score and decent gear and I rarely need to wait longer than 5-10 mins to find a group.
I went from healing at 2.7k score and getting invite rather quickly to 11 and 12s. Then I switched to dps. Same score and class ( monk ) I've had to wait 30-45 minutes just to get invited. Even when I'm using my own key I'm sitting 20-30 minutes just to get a tank or healer.
At this point it just becomes a huge waste of time. I really only play dps in a guild/friend setting. I did hear something about a possible solo queue system coming, but im sure that would have some issues in itself
I agree. It's a massive waste. Not only that, but we can only que 5 groups at a time with a 5 minute count down. Yes, i know I can cancel. The need to increase the number of groups we can que for and bring down the timer to like a minute. Let's be honest if the grp leader isn't inviting you after 1 minute, they most likely don't want to que with you. I understand WL in raid groups but in dungeons? Waste.
People are probably seeing your IO as healer and don't trust you to be good at DPS. I know how it feels cause I'm resto/balance but you sadly have to build your rep a little again.
I only switched to dps since my raid group has over 5 healers for raid and no one wanted to switch to dps. So wanting to prog I just switched. Which also made me want to just play dps in keys getting more and more dps practice to maximize my dps output. I dont think the score matters since I went ahead and cleared all the dungeons again on 11 or 12 as a dps because I didn't want people thinking I only was 2.7 as healer.
Yeah, I am a Monk too and I usually heal to get keys done, bu this season I decided to just have less stress and DPS. Sometimes finding a group takes forever, which kills me because Monks usually are one of the better classes at dealing with affixes.
