Question about tagging

[jin]

Am I missing something or people don't know how to tag specials/elites in Legend? Do people know that tagged enemies take extra damage when you have WHC in your team?
Is it because it's not enough or unnecessary? I am confused.

[Fryskar]

They don't tag because they're lazy.

[Moschusbock]

people just dont tag sometimes. some people dont tag because they dont know what WHC does, some dont tag because they dont like the "effort", some dont tag because they "dont need the crutch of 20% extra damage"
i just take them as they come. if they dont tag, they dont tag.

whc adds a 6 second long 20% extra damage debuff to anything anyone tags in the game.

ANYONE benefits from it, and it can be continuously reapplied every 6 seconds to renew the debuff.

so only morons don't abuse the ♥♥♥♥ out of the WHC's tags.

yeah I mean even if you dont have a WHC, tagging is still super helpfull as it makes those targets stand out and thus easier to see and avoid their attacks

plus the blue outline shows through everything so even occluded targets can be headshot with mellee or piercing hits

That's weird when I see a couple CWs up our butt and we are struggling. This is for "veterans"

Issue with that "+% power" is that now we have limited builds with focus on taking down needed targets with less hots. And that leads to a fact, that if person have some brains - he have those BP. And in this case he dont need tag DMg bonus - there is no application for it. You still need same amount of shots with or w/o tag. If person have no brains - he is unlikely to be smart enough to use tag for dmg boost. So only one who really use this dmg boost and builds around it is WHC himself.

Tag to highlight is good and usually i see it used on cata. But definetly not for DMG boost. Rarely people care about it. THX to BP system.

i get that way of thinking and also dont. i mean the breakpoint argument:
if you need more then 1 hit and the 20% does not bring you into onehit range its useless - but there is still your team around. your hit might leave the enemie with that little health that a teammate that would otherwise take muliple hits only needs one to finnish them off.

also for dots and everything that does smaller hits the 20% damageboost is exceptionally noticable.

there is really no point in not tagging with a WHC in the group, especially since it takes no time.
but i dont waste my breath in pubs anymore.

Breakpoints are a nice calculation game on paper but often fail to describe the real battle Situation. Firstly, you cant adress all breakpoints. Often you reach them for specific Units and are close to others. The 20 % will help there.

Other than that, you are often not the sole person to hit on an enemy. You have a foe which for examples takes 4 hits by yourself. Then inbetween a teammate lands a hit and you just need another hit. Add 20 % more damage and the enemy goes down by the hit of the teammate. People should just tag, it doesnt hurt anyone and it can help in many situations if only for showing an approaching Packmaster.

Guys, i just explained why a lot of people dont bother to tag even with WHC in team. They dont feel it as important for reasons i described above.

For me - it is ALWAYS beter to tag. Regardless of WHC presence.

[icardias]

They dont tag and cry about wipe, well If you tag the packmaster maybe your teammate have more chances to avoid It while fighting horde

[Palumtra]

Yeah people seem to have forgot that tagging (regardless of WHC presence) has practical uses, especially during hordes where you might not spot that sneaky hookrat among he 628 other rats that are in front of you....

[Kowa4ui_korm]

Most people don't tag because they're afraid that someone else will steal their 'special' or 'elite' kill.

Well, your wording heavily implies or outright says this: Fact: Brain people have BP and don't need tag for damage.

And all I wanted to showcase (to the average reader of this thread) was that even in this scenario where one has perfect breakpoints he has still circumstances outside your control (like three other team members) which can throw off one's wonder mathematics so that tagging is always a good idea, not only for highlighting but also for increased damage. So there is always an application for the bonus damage unless your team is dead.
