All of these patch notes are pretty hilarious since it shows how the team in control of balancing classes really have zero clue about what they should be doing, but this one just takes the cake. There are DPS classes whining up a hell of a storm about not getting into a queue for an hour or more and they want to make the wait even longer? HA!

Makes me glad I play a healer and have friends to group with.

"The Dungeon Finder now attempts to avoid putting damage-dealing classes with the same armor type in a group."

So a warrior or DK dps is going to have to wait on a Bear tank? and even then they can't be in same group? going to kill queues for them.

Besides.. cross spec rolling on gear isn't usually a problem on armor.. it's the weps trinkets necklaces and rings that people argue about.

Too much dumb ass in the above rule.

^ What do you mean they'd wait for a bear tank in that situation, it says "The Dungeon Finder now attempts to avoid putting damage-dealing classes with the same armor type in a group."

It doesn't say it will avoid putting any classes with the same armor type in a group.

I would love that patch note to also say "and the dumbass who gave Chakra a short duration has been fired."
