Forming a group: roles and world residents

You go into a Dungeon as three, and into a Raid or against a World boss as five. Every spot in the party has its own role.

Party makeup

Which roles each class can take

You pick your role on the Dungeon screen before queueing — only the roles your class can take are shown. What each role does in a fight is covered in Group roles.

Three ways in

• Queue. Pick a role and join the queue: world residents fill the free spots.
• As a group. The group leader queues everyone at once with “Queue as a party”, and world residents fill the empty spots.
• Solo. Dungeons only — not raids or world bosses. The game warns you that it’s almost impossible alone.

Everyone or no one

A group of live players joins the queue only as a whole. If even one member doesn’t qualify, nobody goes, and everyone sees why:

• a member is offline;
• their level is outside the location’s range;
• there’s no free role left for their class;
• the group has more heroes than the party has spots.

Example: a Mage and a Warlock can’t go into a Dungeon together — there’s only one damage dealer spot, and neither can take another role.

World residents in empty spots

An empty spot is taken by a world resident — a real hero with their own name, class, gear and talents; you can open their profile in the Armory. They’re picked like this:

• the role from their specialization matches the spot’s role;
• their level is within ±5 of the run’s level and inside the location’s range;
• their strength matches an average player of that class and level — not noticeably stronger or weaker.

Residents only take empty spots — they never push out a live player. More: World residents.

FAQ

Can I go into a Dungeon with just one friend?

Yes: queue as a group, and a world resident takes the third spot. Just check your roles — a tank and a healer can go, but two pure damage dealers can’t.
