TH Procing

[Mirage]

Ok so my friend and I are having a little argument about TH, as such I would like to ask the community opinion. Personal I think its a dumb question but here goes:

He says TH needs to proc as in show in the log the effectiveness in order to have any TH what so ever. I of course keep telling him even if its not on the log you still get what ever your gear has as well as pets, /thf don't get a log proc and yet clearly get it sooo.....

Does TH need to "proc" in order to have TH on a mob yes or no?

It does not. Additionally, if you want actual first-hand evidence, you can produce this by tagging a mob with TH5, for example, then have that character disengage, for so to bring a naked thf with just TH3 on it.

The first upgrade that TH3-thief will make will be from 5 to 6, even if he only had 3 initially. If the mob was never tagged with TH6 from the first thief because of no upgrade, the first upgrade from the TH3-thief would have been from 3 to 4.
