Why do you commend DPS?

[Kytrin]

I'll comm a DPS if they're doing their job well and I'm comfortable enough with the content I'm not guilt comming the healer as a silent apology for all the times they had to rez my sorry butt lol.

1) The tank or healer (opposite of whatever I run as) leave in a hurry and I notice the DPS haven't been brain dead the entire run.

2) When I'm tanking the healer doesn't DPS or is just lazy, then it goes to the DPS.

3) When I heal if the tank is single pulling or skittish for any reason. Goes to the DPS.

Basically: Don't be stupid, be decent, and actually try and there's a chance you're going to get a comm from me.

I typically commend DPS because healers and tanks always get comms so I like to spread the DPS comms around when I can. Unless a DPS was particularly obnoxious or truly not attempting to learn, I will generally give them my commendation at the end.

When the other DPS is being the Shepherd and explaining things to the rest of the group, or even when they're the ones taking the time to reply to my off-color witticisms.

i mostly run tank+heal so... because i have no other option ?^^

no seriously, under normal circumstances i'll more or less commend someone randomly, like i don't really gain anything from not doing it at all so whatever.

aside from that i go : helpfullness>general chattiness>just being really awesome at your job>not sucking all the joy out of me.

only time no one gets any commendation is when the group clearly blows, no i don't expect everyone to at least be a 50% raider, but if both dps wear ilvl 490+ and the run takes twice as long as usual while i just know its not do to an afk heal or whatever than you'll either have to be the most awesome person to be around at or well, no one gets the commendation.

I commend players that use their role actions. That always means a lot to me. It shows you use all of your kit. Similarly if they use LB properly. Lastly greetings and farewells.

Slowly being a tank main, so healers will likely get most of my comms, especially if I have a bad day and just not doing well. However all my days as a DNC has been me giving a comm to my partner if:

1. I'm not outdpsing them.
2. They are outdpsing all of us.

[Vyrerus]

I've played every DPS at one time or another, except DNC. I play with animations on, and have a decent eye for detail. If the pulls are melting, the DPS seldom gets hit or the hit seems to be intentional to do more damage and they make up for it with Bloodbath or something... yeah I comm the DPS. At least if they don't leave the dungeon right away. A LOT of people leave dungeons before I can hand out my comm.

Or if the Healer or Tank are exceptionally bad and the DPS did alright, then I give it to them, particularly if I still need my weekly commendation challenge log EXP.

If no one did well in my eyes, which is rare, or if people tried to pick fights with one another without adding anything constructive, I generally comm no one.

I always commend Someone, and I figure tanks and healers already get most of the commends if for no other reason than being on the top of the list, so if I don’t have a preference of a specific person I tend to commend a random dps. If nothing else dps getting less commendations makes them go oh cool more likely when they do.

Of course with the way roulettes and dungeons work, it’s also often whoever took two seconds longer to sprint to the exit and was still available as an option to commend.

Your hair looks amazing.

Ah, thank you. Flattery is another way to get comms out of me, as it happens, because I'm a rather simple creature.
