Final boss. Tank congratulates the dps only and doesn't mention me. Dps congratulate tank back and also don't mention me. Fine, I don't need praise, but it seems kind of weird after all the compensation I have been doing. Boss goes normally for the most part, tank and dps congratulate each other at the end. Just out of curiosity, I look at the log as I exit the dungeon. 0 commends.

I don't know if they thought I was bad because I died at the beginning or didn't holy a lot or what. But I couldn't, or I would have spent the whole run tanking or with my face in the dirt. It wasn't the kind of situation where the holy stun alone would have bought me enough time to survive the incoming threat. I just found the whole affair really strange, riding yellow or orange threat frequently and basically being considered the weak link by the rest of the group. Anyone else run into a situation like that lately?

All the time. A Healer's job is a relatively thankless one i find i get most commendations in lower level stuff but if you are playing for a commendation or a pat on the back you are probably playing the wrong class. You are more likely to get commendations from people who main a Healer because they get the position you are in with a weak Tank you can barely do anything. There is also a stigma in the game that Healing is easy so people tend to look down on you if anything goes wrong. People always have much more to say when things go wrong than when they go right.

Also i find commendations weird in general it feels like a lot of people just give them out randomly. Had runs where i was poor and made mistakes and i get 6 of them and then a run where i carry the group and they only finished because i over healed and chain ressed the other Healer and i get zero. Not even a "well done" XD.
