Low dps stop tagging kill mobs above 10% HP

[Zephire]

I do just that, wait until they're low if I'm undergeared. I'm at 415 atm so I just shredd through their HP anyway and try to help out by targeting them as early as possible to spill my damage over to everyone else.

However, instead of being irritated with people tagging "too early", be greatful to those who wait.

[Blackmist]

It's funny because the only problem I've ever had with the tagging system is higher geared players hitting a mob once and fucking off to repeat the process with everyone else in combat...

[AkundaMrdal]

Who cares, I just tag elite when I get to her, use autoattack and do something else on second monitor.

In order to maximize kill times, you need to pull your weight. If you do bad dps and tag a mob at 100% you are just making killing the mob slower. You are not helping, you are slowing us down.

This means if you have shit gear, are a healer or a tank, just stop tagging mobs at 100%. If you want to be helpful, you wait with tagging it until it is at 10% HP.

Next week-

"Wtf is with all these people who see me fighting a mob, sit around doing nothing and then tag it before it dies! Don't just stand there and help you lazy jerks!"

Not really a problem anymore but you can bet your ass that at the beginning of the expansion when i was soloing those group elite world quest mobs that i could barely solo at the time, if someone tagged them early just to leech the world quest, i'd feign death and let them deal with it. Not just to be a dick, but because they'd scale outside the range of which i could manage solo without the additional players contributing.

As you all know ever since Legion we have mob tag sharing. Though it seems like some of you still don't understand how the system works.

Example 1:
Say a mob has 100 HP. You start killing it. Now a 2nd person starts attacking it at 100%. Now suddenly the mob has 200 HP. A 3rd person attacks at 100%, the mob now has 300 HP.

Example 2:
Say a mob has 100 HP. You start killing it and bring it down to 10 HP. Now a 2nd person starts attacking it at 10%. Now the mob has 20 HP (an increase of health equal to current health). A 3rd person attacks at 10%, the mob now has 30 HP.

In order to maximize kill times, you need to pull your weight. If you do bad dps and tag a mob at 100% you are just making killing the mob slower. You are not helping, you are slowing us down.

This is the mob scaling system we live with. If you don't like being told to not do anything for 90% of the fight, flame Blizzard, not people that want to complete these dreadful quests ASAP.

....Most mobs dies within 30 sec these days, you can't seriously suggest, that having it take a few secounds longer is actually bothering you that much? O.o

People just want to play the game and attack mobs, that they want to kill. You can't ask players, to go around the world and setting themselfs in que for elite mobs, only "playing the game" when the mobs are at 10% HP.

......If those added seconds are bothering you that much, your time is apperantly too valueable to do any content, where others might have an effect on it.

Wow... like this matters!

Oh noes, they wasted a second of your life! Tragedy! No one owes you anything.

For the record mob health doesn't scale 100%/200%/300%/400%/500%.
It scales at 100%/150%/200%/250%/300%, so assuming several people attack it at 100% health and each deals roughly the same amount of damage, killing is faster the more players are around. It's been like that since at least legion.

This complaint reads like it was typed unironically while AFK'ed during a warfront.

[rogueMatthias]

I don't mind people with low gear joining in. At least they're trying to help.

WhatI do mind is people just tagging it then going off to kill other mobs and leaving you to deal with it on your own. Was happening all the time when coming across rates in questing areas.

I dismiss my pet and feign death and then watch the baddie go running off after its new friend.

This. This right here is exactly what I was going to say.

Seriously?

Wow.

[Zandalariprelate]

Chill out a bit pal.

[Lodreh]

I understand how it works, however i'd rather let you kill the mob while i'm watching tv or alt tabbed. "waiting until 10%" would require me to be ingame paying attention to that narrow time window watching its hp. Thanks in advance.

You, you are the type of player I love to have come up while I'm WQing. I love gathering a huge group of enemies together... let you throw your one AoE then I Shadowmeld while they slaughter you. I'll finish my quest while you are doing your corpse run. So much fun.

[Khallid]

I haven't done any extensive experiments, but every time someone attacks a mob I already tagged (or I tag a mob someone else is attacking) the mob just dies faster. I've never seen its health shoot up and suddenly take longer.

They're world bosses, not mythic raiding.
