commendations are really depressing

[Calyanare]

I don't disagree with that but it just highlights how flawed the system is. Failing either of them being atrocious then the commendations will generally go to either the tank or healer.

I am usually the healer, and it's fairly obvious to me (and the tank too, usually) if one of the DPS is carrying the other. That person (the one carrying, not the one being carried) usually gets a commendation from me, unless there's a good reason to give it to someone else.
