I used to default my comms to tank if I am on healer; or healer if I am on anything else. Now, though, I just comm the cutest portrait.. provided they didn't get their ass kicked repeatedly in the run.
I only comm dps if the dungeon ends quickly enough to notice mechanics being skipped
I commend DPS all of the time, typically because my commendation criteria are pretty specific and more often than not it ends up being one of the DPS.
Unfortunately with the given player population, it takes me a while to do the weekly commendation challenge because often there won't be an eligible player to commend.
WAR don't get changes because they don't need changes. They only need more enemies to cleave.
If a RDM saves a run by spamming VerRaise, you can bet they are getting a comm from me.
Mostly because I've been there and saved a run and got squat because my icon is Red instead of Green or Blue.
The menacing aura of every Lalafell.
I'll comm good players, period.
Sure a nice portrait helps, same with a cute or funny name, or a nice glamour. But playing well means you get my comm.
And if you're nice in chat that usually locks in the comm regardless of role.
I have a decent number of commendations for my playtime, I had some 1100~ at the end of SHB. I started maining DRG (previously DRK main from HW-SHB end) and my comms are currently sitting at 2350~, a large section of which are from me just doing DRG stuff in dailies. Some are from me leveling healers and tanks, sure, but nowhere near the bulk of them since the start of EW come from those roles.
if I get any comms, its usually in aurum vale as BLM
If a DPS uses mitigation and utility and decent rotation I'll appreciete them more. Otherwise it goes to whoever has best glamour.
Player
I main SAM and get comms all of the time. Tanks and healers might get more, but it makes sense. In most content, good deeeps just makes the dungeon go faster as opposed to keeping people alive, which tanks and healers do.
