For those that give DPS comms after a run... What is your criteria?

[Lexis]

Give me dragoon tether as red DPS, don't be lazy and hit the button without targeting someone. Don't be among on the worst, not hitting the button at all.

I've noticed how few dragoons seems to bother with this one and it boggles my mind. I'm always standing relatively close even as a ranged to be within healer's AoE reach and if I see that red tether of DPS goodness, I'll stick to my pew pew buddy like glue. And yet, it so rarely happens that I'll usually insta-comm those who do so long as they're even half decent.

They get comms the same way everyone does: they have to make an impression. Gameplay is one way, sure. But it is far easier to notice when a DPS screws up.

Easiest way to make an impression on me as DPS is attitude and choice of glamours. Things that help is looking the part of your chosen role and job, and greeting the party either through chat or emote. I admittedly do have a bias towards Midlander and Raen females.

So what is your criteria?

1. Roe
1a. Glam
2. Cool name
3. Funny thru out the encounter.

Lalas do not get comms.

There is no special reason... do i need the exp from the challenge log? Someone will randomly get a comm. did a see a new player on first run of a dungeon? They probably need a comm. is there someone left in the dungeon after i watch the victory cutscene? Maybe you get a comm... what is my mood today? Who knows. Is all random.

...I wish we could combine our problems to get rid of them. I'd get a buddy who's not running away with my tether and you'd get your buff.

1. Are they Lalafell?
2. Did they do their rotation properly? Biggest pet peeve is dps who use Single target rotation in AoE...Tanks freaking do this more than anyone but boy does it bug me beyond belief.
3. Were they nice?

I try to comm the most standout player performance wise, regardless of role, assuming all else is equal. One good way to get my attention though, is to do better DPS than me. Not because I'm all that great by any means, but because it happens far less than I would expect, given I main RDM.

But overall, it's just about who seemed to put the most effort in. If no one in particular stood out performance wise, that's when other random things like chat or whatever come into play. If none of that exists, then yeah I'll probably pick tank/healer for filling roles that helped my DPS queue pop (assuming I'm not tanking or healing).

The dps has to go over and beyond or the healers have to leave before I am able to give them a comm.

An example being. I die as the tank. A rdm or SMN raises me before the healer. That dps gets a comm.

Usually when a run goes really fast all party members are contributing to dps.

[TaleraRistain]

I tend to comm dps when I'm on WHM though I will comm a great tank. When I'm on DNC, I tend to try to comm my fellow dps because I know as a WHM main how much comms come our way like candy.

[ArthurATDayne]

Alright I'll give a more serious answer: I give DPS players comms if it looks like they doing their best to play nice, wait for others to finish a cutscene, kill mobs and wait for others who haven't loaded or clicked on glowy switches yet.

Every once in a while I get players including healer who don't wait and just start sprinting off really far while someone or two are still watching cutscene or not here yet and don't respond even when asked nicely "X & Y are not here yet, hold up." -2nd and 3rd pack of mobs are incoming-
