DPS deserve commendations too!

[LilimoLimomo]

I'm honestly surprised to see that so many people don't give comms or only give them under certain circumstances.

I love giving comms because people like getting them, and it's an absolute delight to be able to do something nice for a stranger. Unless everyone in my party has been clocked as toxic — and I can count the number of times that's happened on one hand — someone is getting a comm!

...as long as everyone doesn't immediately leave. XD

I agree with this. It only takes a moment to brighten someone's day. It's just a small thing everyone can do to make the game just that much more of a nice experience for others.

Unless a party was extremely toxic, which is fortunately very rare for the casual content I do - I always find someone to comm if they all don't leave too fast.

If things take a long time to kill, dps are to blame, if things die fast, dps are good and deserve that commendation. After running hundreds of dungeons you start to notice dps, some fail using their skills, combos etc or just spam 1 button.

I only give comms to dps who don't die to mechs and LB without being told too. The only other option would be to rez someone so I don't have too as a healer. If you pull a clutch cool but it almost never happens but I'd comm you if it happened

I will commend a DPS for using an AoE limit break on a wall to wall pull. However, I will also specifically not commend a person who tells me to Limit Break. I find it incredibly annoying. Otherwise I just commend whoever seemed the most engaged.

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

Always irks me that a bad Tank or Healer will always get coms long before a good DPS

As a main DPS, I can understand the grievance. At the same time, the the Tank and the Healer are basically the Quarterback and the Middle Linebacker of the party, so comms usually fall to them by default. As does the praise (or blame) for a good (or bad) run.

People do notice good deeps tho. I often comm a DPS that keeps up with me and doesn't do dumb [redacted], and Dancers that dance partner me.

Who I comm and don't comm is situational tho.

If I'm in a party where people are bickering back and fourth, nobody's getting it. I don't care if the run was flawless.

I don't even think about it. Someone is getting a comm regardless of how it went. It's a free 'gift' if you will, why wouldn't I want to give someone even a little 'yay' feeling?

OMG this drive me crazy when ppl leave before I can give out a commendation, lol.

Who tf gives a damn about comms? are you for real now? i didnt even bother once to give someone a comm, its a time waste.

Feels nice to receive them, plus they contribute to a challenge log.

Im a DPS main and usually get at least 1 commendation about 75% of the time in all content I run. Im not doing anything special to my knowledge.

I get a LOT of coms and I pretty much exclusively play DPS. I only tank when I play with friends, and I've never healed a dungeon or raid (just things like fate farm parties).. And I wouldn't say I'm a... good player? I watch my rotation and make sure I'm doing it properly for the most part, and I try not to die. Granted despite not using parsing tools myself, I've looked at what others have parsed me for, and my numbers seem to above the average casual player so... maybe people think I'm good when it comes to story content dungeons and normal raids? I have no idea honestly. It just hasn't been hard. I get them in PvP all the time too even though I don't have massive kill counts or anything.

Maybe the bunboy factor helps even though I picked the resting b***h face one LOL
