I love Duty Commendations. Thank you for them.

Unfortunately, damage-dealers get the shaft when it comes to commendations. Everyone wants to reward the tanks and healers. As a healer, I tend to send one to that awesome DPS that carried the group pretty hard and did their job appropriately. There's always the doofus DPS who decides to pop-cooldowns early and threat is ape-shit crazy, resulting in them NOT getting my vote.

Seriously, reward your DPS once in a while. I feel bad for them. I heal all the time and get commendations for it, and so does your tank with his insta-queue.

I ran Haukke and Copperbell HM last night on my Monk, informed them i was on my first run through them, and ended up with 3 Commendations out of 2 Dungeons.

So, in short, No, DPS will not get the shaft. Be nice, do your job, carry the run. People will thank you for it.

Thank you to the DPS debunking this myth that DD don't get commendations. I run on my bard mostly and about 45/52 commendations are from that role. It's not as bad as people think. If you're not getting commendations, it MIGHT be you. It could be myriad other reasons too, like partial premade group, people not seeing the notice, or leaving too fast.

2 posts disagreeing with the general consensus = myth debunked?

Read again. Thank you to the DPS debunking this myth means literally thank you to those people who are actively showing that this complaint is not valid from our experience. It does not mean thank you to the two people who posted on here thus debunking the 10 posts stating the contrary.

Well, I'm just glad it's invalid for someone's experience. Just let those other posters know that it's invalid, and they should be fine.

I usually commend the healer, especially when they keep me alive during 3+ mob pulls. But the other day I was pleasantly surprised to find a DPS THM consistently sleeping mobs depending on my marked order. And he never let it drop. And wasn't even asked to CC, but did so anyway.

Funniest player gets the commendation.

It's kinda true, but I feel I should mention: I've only played DPS in the Duty Roulette thus far, and received a handful of commendations.

It seems to be that I tend to be talkative, give really quick rundowns of boss fights prior to engagement, or will give some sort of feedback if I notice someone needs help (usually like, a tank not actually sure how to do their thing, or melee DPS not knowing flank/rear attacks).

I dunno. I figure I'll just stay in the habit of that and see how it goes, but I think a lot more people are conscientious about who actually talks in random parties (and how useful what they say is) than we may assume.

I award the DPS who protects me when the tank loses threat.

Edited to Add: I often wish I could give a commendation out to each person in the dungeon, because they did so well.
