Commending DPS

[Misutoraru]

I've seen posts in Reddit an these forums of DPS players claiming they would usually or always commend the other dps. However, when I tank or heal, I usually get more than one commendation. So that leaves one dps without a commendation, especially during times when all party members have contributed to exceptionally wonderful dungeon/trial runs.

So I present this question to you, especially DPS mains:

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

I comm DPS if the other dps doing their job properly, simple because they might be the most play role, yet, they are the most under appreciated role

recent experience:
my RDM got O1N from raid roulette, half the teams are first timer, one of them is a SCH, dying to almost everysingle AOE, I personally res her 4 times, give other heal mana shift a lot of times, help healing when that SCH just got res by me and recovering SP. I dodge everysingle possible AOE, use diversion before my burst. Pop Addle and Embolden, not a single comm after the fight. I dont even want to mention my NIN where I keep Goad, Smoke screen and shadewalker pop at the right time yet still no appreciation.

Switch to my WAR and got through into a Trial I dont remember and got hit by a few avoidable AOE, standard rotation and cool down, easily 3 comms. I can get more comm with half a brain as tank than doing 120% effort in my DPS. This is what happen in most of the DF run

Welcome to the world of dps players. Tanks get commendations thrown at, i know that because i was a tank main player, just because they are tanks. Dps players can carry the whole party, like you described or with a extrem high dps performance compared to the rest of the party, and don't get anything. Thats just how it goes here with some exceptions.
