Why do you commend DPS?

All I do is kill things and do mechanics correctly. [...] is this really worth 3 comms?

Yes.

Surely you'd notice when a party is killing things considerably more slowly if you're mainly playing tank and healer. I main AST as a healer, and end up finding my cards being of more use on my tank in pugs as he's consistently doing more dmg. When I used to main mnk, I'd get comms in high end content and I chalk it up to making full and purposeful use of my kit. I'll absolutely throw a comm to a smn or rdm who was tossing heals and rez's. Pretty much anyone playing their class properly (not even optimally) is a shining star in a lot of group content. My comms usually do go my to co-healers as a matter of priority, but only if I didn't end up carrying the damn thing. Otherwise I immediately shoot it to the dps that weren't sucking on chalk in the corner.

The only exception is comming leafs that ask questions and are actively trying to learn content, despite however they perform at it.
