DPS deserve commendations too!

Generally I comm people who go above and beyond.

For DPS, those who use peleton automatically get a comm. Other things like feint I also notice. Or the occasional range that will make sure to move and give melee a safe spot, etc.

Tanks who alternate throughout their toolkit for big pulls (ie. Arms length, reprisal, etc) to make the ride smoother.

Healers who work hard, forced to GCD heal because someone isn't doing their job, have to rez people, etc.

Automatically you don't get one if you're just not using your toolkit, or you're one of those people who run in narnia to get hit by mechanics because someone overlapped your AoE circle by the smallest degree. Double negative points if you're a melee and you do that. If you're standing around and pressing 123 in front of a boss as a melee, I assume you're being lazy with positionals (I know enough class animations to know if this happens). If you're collecting vulns, you're not getting a comm. There's a difference in making a mistake occasionally, and just standing there in the middle of a circle that's been there for 4 seconds.

I'm still amazed by the amount of people who play ranged dps for their mains and NEVER peleton...... *shakes head*

If im a healer I will commend the tank if they do large pulls, hold aggro, use tank cd's well. If im a tank I commend healer if they keep me alive while I do large pulls. If im DPS I will usually commend the other DPS unless they seem to have less aggro than the healer.

I wouldn't use aggro as an indicator of damage when bringing healers into the equation. It's super easy to get high in the aggro table by being a curebot and overhealing like a madman. This could make it look like your DPS are slacking, even if it's that your healer only knows where the medica 2 button is

These days I tend to award comms based on a combo of the player NOT being garbage & whoever has the nicest profile plate image. DMV photo gets you NOTHING.

Levelling up my MCH from level 30 (77 now) and I feel nearly invisible for Comms. The only ones I get I think are for my plate since I got a comm after a girl said "Oooh cowboy!" about my glam lol. Turning from a fully clothed MCH glam to a shirtless cowboy hat helped I guess.

I use my run speed. I group mit during bosses and big pulls. I'll use my other mit on tankbusters or big group damages. I limit break if the melee dps seems to have forgotten about it, or on a big trash pull.

Not much else I can do.

If the DPS don't addle or feint, they're not gonna get a comm from me.

Some jobs definitely get more comms than others.

A semi competent melee will often get comms for big damage.

A black mage who aces mechanics and puts out good numbers will often get comms from people who understand how much of a pain in the ass that is.

A dancer will often get a comm at least from their dance partner.

A red mage will never get comms no matter how many people they scrape off the floor.

The blessed Addle. Wonderful and woefully underused.

...Those poor RDPS.

Become a stripper like I did with MCH for some comms.

Pft. Not wrong, though. Glam and portraits make a huge difference. If no one stands out, the cute, sexy, or straight up brilliant portrait will definitely sneak a comm or three.
