Commending DPS

[Kacho_Nacho]

Were you that kid that was happy when they got their participation trophy in grade school? Commendations are earned son.

Snarky.

He was saying he wished he could commend more than one person if there were several players who earned it.

The dps I commend:

-Mch/bards who use palisade/tact/refresh

-People who mana shift/goad

-Rdm/sum who’ll raise for the healer

-Ninjas who use their aggro tools

-Big dps who use diversion(can you tell I main tank?)

-The nice players. I’ll even commendate the silent players if the other 2 are just jerks.

I don’t care if your dps is low or high. If you help out your other party members instead of tunneling, I’ll comm. you.

Fully agree with you

I always commend my tank as a healer unless they are bad then I'll commend one of the dps.

I usually commend DPS unless they weren't AoEing or not using their abilities, if the healer is DPSing and going all out though I'll commend them more but it's a toss up usually. And 90% of the time I'm tanking so I dont commend tanks unless I'm doing an 8 man trial or 24 man but usually I don't commend them unless they come shirk me or something its harder for tanks to stand out to me because they have to really do something to catch my interest since I'm a tank main.

As a Tank I generally commend the healer or when I see a dps going nuts on aoe for mobs/single target for bosses. Also if the DPS goes out of their way to help others it means the world to me. Like as a PLD if i'm spamming Total Eclipse and running low on TP when I get a Goad or Tact(without asking for it) it makes me smile and consider giving it to them.

Like if you want a fantastic example of something like this last night I was running the Burn as a PLD getting up my flashes before I switch to Sword and a BLM in my group Mana Shifted me to give me back MP. I was floored by this since I always play WAR/DRK and have never seen this happen to me before but I was extremely grateful as my party was all casters. That BLM secured my comm right then and there.

As a tank, I usually commend DPS classes depending on how quickly we fly through things. I've been in some dungeon runs where we burn through it really quick and some where it takes forever to get through it.

[Hash_Browns]

I just give it to whoever I thought was the best. Class doesn't really matter.

I commend on healers mainly because they saved my butt multiple times.

[Infindox]

My comm usually follows these:
- Did the player do something really awesome? ( Example, tank died and healer/rdm/smn saves fight without wiping)
- Was the player particularly helpful? Amusing?
- If a new player, I usually give it to them if they did a decent job or listened and tried (even if we wipe)
- Really awesome glamour

If the run was a boring run I usually pass it to the a tank or healer, depending on the content (which one it was harder for). VERY RARELY no one gets and I gtfo.

What conditions would you normally commend other DPS players after you clear the instance?

1. Roes
2. Any toon with a doctor who reference.
3. If they are funny or save the day.
