Commendation performance?

[l---------------l]

Hi. I'm a healer-attacker. ( I call myself "Yin yang healer" because I have to balance damage and heals, maintain everyone alive and do maximum DPS ).

It's not so easy in raid but extremely easy in most dungeons aaaaaand... I can tell you certain to please don't even expect to get commends with SCH, ( I have been using all healers and DPSing, here's why:

- They don't care about what healers do.
- They don't even notice you're placing dots...
- Tank will notice they're not receiving heals all the damn time, and some tanks get annoyed by it, even if they don't die.
- Most peasants don't even know what deployment tactics is, they just think you're using succor.
- The commendations for the damage will ALWAYS go to DPS, the DPS 1 will think he's awesome and the DPS 2 is as awesome as him, so commend for DPS. DPS 2 will do same with DPS 1. Tank will commend any of the DPS because the dungeon were super quick, so it had to be DPS stuff.

THEY'LL NEVER NOTICE YOU...

True story, I lived it

However with WHM is different because holy is the most visible spell ever made in the world and its sound is very characteristic and the stun in mobs too.... If you DPS with a WHM you tend to get one-two commends or so. If you DPS with dots of a SCH, it's DPS what get them. (Didn't test with AST over 52, only in 50, and it feels the same, most of the useful attacks are dots so....)

Also, take in mind the following groups:

- The 'Stoned'. This is a group of people who only recommend always the same fixed stuff, regardless of who overworked in the dungeon. They are like, (Very wrong in my opinion) this: "If I'm tank, I commend healer, if I'm healer, I commend tank, IF I'm DPS I commend the other DPS"
- The 'Absent'. This group just NEVER EVER give recommendations.
- The 'Elite-raiders' This group rarely gives commend in dungeons, except someone is exceptional, It's funny but it's mostly the only group going to give you commend. A healer doing DPS is a healer overworking and making everything smooth, but, only we experts have sight enough to notice and really appreciate it (Modesty away, just included myself in this group. )
- The 'Friends'. They come together to this dungeon, and they won't commend a 'lucky random' just because is only one they can commend, except if for some reason you were super talkative, or worked very hard, but, again, as a SCH they won't notice your effort.
- The 'Social'. Their commend only depends of if you said hi, goodbye, or used an annoying macro for that, or did some joke, or anything social related, your combat skills matter not.
- The 'Haters'. Like The Absent, only they come forum and ask for addition of 'Negative Commendations' system. Wether some of them have good reasons or not for this is discutible, you can find anything in duty finder and the peasantry level is high. (I'd honestly give more than one negative commendation from time to time).

DO NEVER EXPECT COMMENDS...It's RNG based!... (?) And also, use <link> in every match to show The best gown ever. That annoys them enough to not give you one.

PS: I hope to find more people like you in my duty finders! Since by how you explained, seems you use the scholar exactly as me!... What a fine speedrun we would do, oh yes.


--- TL;DR ---

The simplified whole truth about the commendation system:

Bad players commend bad or good players, they don't have a clue anyway so it's lottery. Though they tend to commend more their fellow bad players.
Good players commend good players.

In the end, good players get the most comms in the long run.
