Commendation performance?

I don't think i would commend you just for playing SCH properly, it's too easy for healers to get away with being lazy.

I think the time of the week has a lot to do with how many commendations you get as well. Early in the week after reset most people will give a commendation every run until they give out 5 to complete the challenge log entry for the week. I think after they give out those 5 they quit giving them out the rest of the week.

Even then the dps & tank might feel too ashamed to comm the one that saved their arses. It's ironic because I consider healing to be one of the most hectic jobs in the game. DPSing heals might get more comms in basic dungeon content I guess.

It's defo one of the most unthankful jobs in any mmo since you also get blamed and raged at sometimes. Take it with a pinch of {Salted Earth} or you could try flirting with the tank... :'D Either way it's probably nothing personal.

As a healer, I usually get at least 1 comm a run. But then again, I socialize and try to help the group outside of healing, so that's probably not hurting either.

I'm sitting at 2441 commendations as a PLD main. Honestly there's no rhyme or reason to it. Some runs I'll be freaking awesome and get nothing, and others I'll just phone it in during a roulette and walk away with 6. I think the only time it irks me, is when I join an in-progress with a group of undergeared folk and carry them to victory and they all leave me with nothing. Even them MEH. As tank I nearly always give props to the healer if they kept me alive. Usually I'll only give props to a DD if they actually use Limit Breaks and not let them go to waste which is like almost never.

That said, if you want commendations, do guildhests. By and large the quickest way to farm them.

As it is right now, no matter who preforms the best, the tank aka the role hardest to get a player for, is the one that will be rewarded.

Dont play well for commendation, but play to challenge yourself.

Unless you are going to claim that the other three didn't do their jobs, I don't think there is a point to the OP. Maybe a dps who performed above normal expectations got a commend. Maybe the tank who led the easy run got some commendations. You aren't the only one playing your class the way its meant to be played...

I've been going into dungeons recently, as Dragoon, and getting 2 out of the 3 commendations almost all of the times.

I talk, I crack jokes (really really bad ones), I act supportive.

I also don't die like 95% of dragoons who don't know how to play a survivalist class.

Playing your class right might seem like what gets you commendations, but it's attitude. It's like how I never commend people in Dota 2 who scream "commend me" a hundred times. It is not YOUR right to be commended, but your party's right to commend you.

LOTs of healers(ASTs especially) have been getting comms from me, for saving my ass/putting up with unlucky multiple deaths.

I remember someone posting on who to commend.

If your a tank commend healer.

Healer tank.

Dps dps.

But here's my addition.

Who ever can make you laugh the hardest and just makes the whole run fun.

Performance means very little to me if it's the last one on the list I don't care if we wipe I care about having fun OP just have fun why worry about useless rep points?
