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

[Katie_Kitty]

You're way overthinking it. Commendations don't mean jack. Most of the time as a DPS you will get one comm in four-man content and that is because the other DPS simply give you their commendation blindly. Meanwhile the tank and healer blindly commend each other unless a problem arose during the duty. There's no criteria for 99% of people, that's just reality.

In 8-man content it might be slightly different (maybe someone is running ACT and gives it to the top DPS or whatever) but generally comms mean nothing.

If the tank/healer doesn't have a sprout I'll give it to a sprout DPS since I'm the other tank/healer, then bail ASAP so the DPS will likely commend them.

I favor the DPS in general. Not that I don't appreciate a good/standout healer or tank, but even while commendations are overall meaningless, the "You have received a player commendation!" can be uplifting.

I play BLM a lot these days, and while I received a ton in SB as a healer, it never felt as good to get them as it does now. Of course, you'll never know the reasons WHY they commended you in particular... But small pleasures, I suppose.

Otherwise, uh... I tend to favor people who simply talk more than duty-start greetings. Even if chatting in the middle of fighting is not really possible, it leaves far more of a mark if a conversation is had.

I only have 3 categories for commendation

1) Were they nice/cooperative
2) Were they making reasonable plays
3) How fly was their glamour

The third category is the most important though

Generally it is whomever happens to be left with me. 1 dps seems to always stick around with me and they get the comm. Everyone else breaks with a quickness for the exit. So the patient one gets it.

From a healer main perspective, I give them coms when they do proper mechanics, use well-timed mitigation and do decent to outstanding dps. I tend to pay attention more to the classes that are more technically complex to perform as

[Dreamsoap]

Uses LB, preferably more than once. Actually does damage.

Last one is really important, it's kind of rare.

[Alrin]

Avoids telegraphs, uses LB, not being toxic in the chat, does okay damage. If both DPS plays good then it depends on glamour.

Since I play as a healer with tank friend I actually give a commendation to dps quite often.

[HeyMcFly]

Being friendly, hot character, great glamour (immersive glamour to be specific & not modern or meme glam) & using their toolkit

[Isutowaru]

I just comm whoever made me mildly surprised for being decent at the game, whenever I go WAR, I comm the healer if they don't heal me at all and how much holies they throw out because they don't have to heal a BiS WAR using Nascent/Thrill/Equilibrium
