I comm whoever is cutest. Unfortunately, healers and tanks are the cutest to me most often. Be cuter. That's my advice.

once i went pug dungeon as rdm, last boss healer and the other dps die, so i rez healer and heal tank for a while
not a single comm.... that hurt a bit lol i though for sure at least i will get one
I'll commend the DPS if they're playing particularly well and not sitting on their CDs, using feint/addle, avoiding deaths, etc.
i commend dps often but only when they dont die
dawn to dusk...
I get comms as a DPS all the time.
Especially in PvP.
Having a DPS meter be built into the game would both allow good DPS to get more commendations when people see them doing well as well as inform the DPS that do 40% less than the other players that they are probably doing something wrong without someone needing to violate TOS to tell them. It completely baffles me that we don't have one to this day.Always irks me that a bad Tank or Healer will always get coms long before a good DPS (Especially if you are phys Ranged).
So bit of a request to people.
If you see a DPS do a good job? Give them a com instead of the Tank who couldn't hold Agro, of the Healer who AFKed only using Regen.
I get it, DPS doing a good job isnt as visible as a Tank or healer, i know WAR DPS is above that of Phys Range and in some cases Magic DPS.
Nothing like being DPS, pulling a clutch win on that last 1% with everyone else dead only for the Tank or Healers to get the full 7 comms lol.
We might see a few less toxic mentors if they cant simply farm coms on Tank/healer to get there in a day or two.
I give comm to dps when they know their skills. That includes using mitigation skills. Unfortunately, it's VERY rare.
I regularly get three comms as DPS in dungeons maybe because I'm a Roegadyn XD?
Yeah as a ranged DPS i used to get yelled at if i so much as thought about touching the LB, have even had vote abandons after doing so, so i stopped.
Started again on trash awhile back but its hit and miss. Last night for example, tank had pulled everything to the door point, they were all grouped up nicely and being held in place and had no reason to move the pack any further, so i lined up LB, popped it..... the tank moved literally all of them out of the LB! Just a few feet too the side so they were out of the blue line.
I got bitched at for popping the LB and worse, not cancelling the cast when it was clear it wasn't going to hit. (He moved when there was only a second or two left)
Stuff like that happens a lot, normally put it down to just being a bad tank or trolling.
Yeah having played WoW for ab it years back, can understand why they dont want meters, but def agree that works against DPS performance visibility.Having a DPS meter be built into the game would both allow good DPS to get more commendations when people see them doing well as well as inform the DPS that do 40% less than the other players that they are probably doing something wrong without someone needing to violate TOS to tell them. It completely baffles me that we don't have one to this day.
Job balance can also work against us there though.
Sometimes you can pop burst on a large pack of mobs..... and get out DPSed by a WAR popping one or two AOE moves lol
