I noticed first hand earlier this week that killing blows on bosses are not counted for your rank on the combat log and how that relates to number of badges received.

Today a member of my legion found this out by attacking a nearly dead base, killing it , and did not ge badges for the same reason.

I am under the impression that this is known behavior for bases and bosses.

I'd be interested to hear if others feel this should be changed, or why it should or must remain the same.

I think it should be changed, but I don't think that's really the question. It seems more likely that it's just a bug they haven't quite figured a way around yet, it'll probably be fixed as soon as they decide how to.

it really shouldn't be that hard... seems like they've got the code that checks for disable before the code that adds the damage calculated to the damage list for that target... just switch the two around
