DPS deserve commendations too!

[LilyPendragon]

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.

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

Yeah as a ranged DPS i used to get yelled at if i so much as thought about touching the LB, have even had vote abandons after doing so, so i stopped.
Started again on trash awhile back but its hit and miss. Last night for example, tank had pulled everything to the door point, they were all grouped up nicely and being held in place and had no reason to move the pack any further, so i lined up LB, popped it..... the tank moved literally all of them out of the LB! Just a few feet too the side so they were out of the blue line.
I got bitched at for popping the LB and worse, not cancelling the cast when it was clear it wasn't going to hit. (He moved when there was only a second or two left)
Stuff like that happens a lot, normally put it down to just being a bad tank or trolling.

Having a DPS meter be built into the game would both allow good DPS to get more commendations when people see them doing well as well as inform the DPS that do 40% less than the other players that they are probably doing something wrong without someone needing to violate TOS to tell them. It completely baffles me that we don't have one to this day.

Yeah having played WoW for ab it years back, can understand why they dont want meters, but def agree that works against DPS performance visibility.
Job balance can also work against us there though.
Sometimes you can pop burst on a large pack of mobs..... and get out DPSed by a WAR popping one or two AOE moves lol
