I want to go Random Epic Dungen as a Healer! Degrade Warlock on Medic, but with Warlock you can not go RED (must be DC) - why ?! Party look Healer and kick me after invite - "need healer! you no Healer" .. ?? Warlock is DPS or Healer? SW is highlighted DPS and unrecognized Heal.
I have the most healed point at CN, Cradle, Tong, MSP etc ... I'm Top Healer, not DPS :(, but as Healer me Developer at the RED will not let go - why ?!

    Warlocks for the most part are support class. Sure a warlock has the ability to dps and or heal but its main focus is support. Think of a group make up as 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps and 1 support you get the idea. Warlocks fill a dps slot in any party. If a party is lacking in dps a warlock can provide that party with what dps is missing or is needing. If the party requires more healing then again a warlock can provide the team with the heals needed. It is best to think of it like this so that you understand your main role in any party you are in as a warlock. Your a support and there for you should use what spec thats needed.

    Same problem with GFs who are set up as DPS/buff but can't tank, we're unable to RQ sensibly as well.

    Yeah totally. I ran my first succesfull FBI last night and tanked the turtle thing and kept everyone well alive, tanked and shielded as much as possible, switched my powers around to tank as much as I could but at the final boss we got it down to half hit points and I missed a move and they eventually wiped.

    Then the other players did some gentle moaning about my character as if I wasnt even there! [I lolled]

    And then the other four players after restart end boss managed to somehow take down the final boss MUCH quicker than when I had been tankign for them. I found that a bit weird [I expect the usual criticisms to follow]

    Sorry to go off topic ;)

    Because the game is prejudice. OP can be a healer. SW can be a healer. GWF can be a tank. But the game says no, you can't be.

    Any chance at variable roles in queues probably died with loadouts. The RQ Epic Dungeon is based around 1 Tank 1 Healer 3 DPS. If GF or DC could queue as DPS, people would just game it to make meta groups for RED.

    And as much as it pains me, GWF as a real tank died in mod 4 and was buried on mod 6. It would take a total rework for the class to be able to survive current content. Unstoppable was enough in the old days because 80% DR was enough. But GF can have that already and still needs to block or get killed.
