Hi, you don't "have to" mark, but it may be useful. You may know your class, the dungeon, and what to do, but in DF the tank does not know that, you might know nothing, so if there's interest in kill order, it's better he marks. He also may have a different idea of what to kill first, and its good all DPS know where to concentrate attacks easily (then decide if AOE is best or when it is best with no risk of pulling aggro.) When there are several mobs packed in the same small space (or your visual line), it's easier also to click on the big number too than try to click on the mob name (a DPS who has not attacked yet will have no enemy list, and if he has attacked with non-AOE attacks, there will be mobs who are not on his enemy list.)
