DPS deserve commendations too!

It depends on what job you play too, supportive DPS like BRD and DNC get comms more often than other dps like Viper or Pictomancer, Red Mages also usually get comm'd if they rez people.

I've started playing PCT recently and it's kinda eerie how little I get commended now, probably because people are sick of seeing the job and pass their comm to a different DPS if by some miracle it doesn't go to a tank or healer

Most of the time people leave so fast that I just commend the leftovers, though.

On tank I've asked dps to LB giga pulls (like the Mt gulg one) before. I think so many ranged kinda just forget it exists, but every time I've asked people jump at the chance

I always give mine to dps unless they did awful in the duty. Not sure what point of getting coms if you already have all the achievements.

With the number of ranged that don't use peloton in dungeons I will sometimes com a ranged if they consistently peloton and played well lmao

As a DPS main, I'm sitting on a cool 8830ish comms. I just kinda chill, slap my silly buttons, and do whatever I can do to be greedy/make everything take less time. I have stuff to craft. When I play heals/Tank, the comms don't matter to me since those roles just get them for existing most of the time. There's a satisfaction you get when you get 3+ comms as a selfish dps, not so much when I'm eating a burrito and pressing a heal/mit.
I only comm other DPS if I even bother sticking around to comm. Tanks and healers only get em if I notice they're really good, and if they KEEP THE THING STILL AND LET ME GET MY POSITIONALS/stay in the ground aoes other jobs slap down.

I only comm DRGs.

Comms for me are irrelevant but I get a pinch of the sadness when my fellow DPS doesn't comm me back. Especially if we get through the dungeon super fast and both play really well. Like "hey man, you and me? We cleared that shit. Go team!"

Then you leave the dungeon and find out they didn't think you good enough for a commendation. Breaks my heart, I thought we HAD something together!

I don't comm the tank or heals unless they were spectacular or rezzed me. Otherwise I pump all my comms into one of the dps to try and offset the ridiculous imbalance that normally happens.

Generally I comm people who go above and beyond.

For DPS, those who use peleton automatically get a comm. Other things like feint I also notice. Or the occasional range that will make sure to move and give melee a safe spot, etc.

Tanks who alternate throughout their toolkit for big pulls (ie. Arms length, reprisal, etc) to make the ride smoother.

Healers who work hard, forced to GCD heal because someone isn't doing their job, have to rez people, etc.

Automatically you don't get one if you're just not using your toolkit, or you're one of those people who run in narnia to get hit by mechanics because someone overlapped your AoE circle by the smallest degree. Double negative points if you're a melee and you do that. If you're standing around and pressing 123 in front of a boss as a melee, I assume you're being lazy with positionals (I know enough class animations to know if this happens). If you're collecting vulns, you're not getting a comm. There's a difference in making a mistake occasionally, and just standing there in the middle of a circle that's been there for 4 seconds.

I'm still amazed by the amount of people who play ranged dps for their mains and NEVER peleton...... *shakes head*
