Commendations, do you get more as your main or off class?

[Jade3173]

They have no meaning what so ever and I honestly don't know why there's even a tread asking when you get them.

It's here for fun, cause I was bored a bit running a few Omegas and noticed a big influx of commends so made a positive post of the forums so it's not all doom and gloom here. People also apparently like answering given the amount of responses.

I give comms out randomly at the end of whatever content I run. the only exception is if I say I will only give it to a DPS. I switched to WHM midway through Heavensward and can honestly say that playing as a healer gets me more comms than when I play as RDM, BRD, or WAR

I actually find in Mentor Roulette I get more than anywhere else...and that's not always doing anything other than going through the run(many times not even talking). Though...there are times where I say one thing(exact quote from last night "...Easiest mentor rou ever!" due to getting Praetorium, 46min in progress, and when I load it they are already fighting last boss - 4 comms for just saying that), and get comms, but equally there are times I don't get anything.

I get more comms as a dps than a tank (main) or healer (old main)

And I will never understand why....

[Skivvy]

More on my WHM for sure. I almost always get at least 2 when running running things like Expert roulette.

I do appreciate the comms I get on my RDM more though. Someone took the time to notice that lowly little DPS and thought they deserved some credit!

I have noticed I tend to get more commends as Ranged DPS more than Melee though. Not sure why.

I always make sure to use my aggro tools properly (Shadewalker/Smoke Bomb), and TA when it's up to make sure stuff dies fast enough.

I just kinda show up as my MCH or Archer (haven't gotten BRD yet) and I just get thrown commends like roses to a bull fighter.

I get many comms as tank, healer, or DPS, but... Yeah, I feel like it's pretty random. Sometimes I'm doing an excellent job as a WAR and I get no comms, sometimes I just get sleepy and brainlag through most of the dungeon, and I get 3. Same as healer, and, for twelves' sakes, same as DPS. And it's frustrating to get more comms for being a sleepy BRD that just uses 4 skills (Note that I don't say BRD is a simple class, it's just that I am more "lazy" with it, since it's... probably my tenth favorite class, so yeah) than for being a NIN that does his very best.

I pretty much feel like comms are given at random. And that's pretty much how I give comms myself. If nobody really stands out by doing something great, or playing its job to the fullest, or simply being nice and chatty, I give comms to... the best glamour, or the job i'm leveling these days, or whatever. It's almost never tanks, though, since as a Main Tank myself, I'm very critic of them.

I get more as my main, though plenty as my off class.
Main is Tank, off is healer.

burn out is real, first thing I did when I figured out that I was experiencing that was shifted roles to Bard rather than doing healing for a whole other expansion. It worked for awhile till I just got fully burnt out and had to take a few months break. After coming back I noticed that while I still love my Bard, I do tend to queue as healers more often. Noticed that your listed class for the forum is PLD, if that's what you're running mostly, have you used the others recently to get a semi-different taste of tanking? Personally didn't like the more spellcasting they added to PLD so I've swapped to DRK for my tank class

Yeah, switching to another class has helped a lot in keeping me interested in the game. Although the one I picked was RDM since I enjoy it's mostly random based on what does/doesn't proc and one's white/black magic levels play style. I'm not good at remembering or not messing up some complex jobs 20+ button rotations, so RDM fits me best. It's been nice to just follow someone for a change instead of being the trail blazer all the time. I plan to keep PLD as my main, since I enjoy it and tanking to much, but RDM will be a nice "taking a break" job to have on the side for those times I feel to tired and want to trade fast queues for laid back gameplay. And I just came back from a 2 month break to play MH:W, so that parts covered already. ^^;

My main SMN gets the most I always get between 2-3 comms when I run it most likely becuase the class itself is so aoe efficient that it can make a bad player seem amazing...not saying I'm a bad player lol but yea you get it.
