Tormentor and Werewolf

Prior to this patch the way that the Werewolf pounce tooltip explained how it did damage it made sense for the pounce to not apply the AOE taunt that the Tormentor set allows Dragon Leap and Explosive Charge to enjoy.
However reading the updated tooltip for Pounce it's curious why Pounce does not proc the AOE taunt as well.
Pounce
Pounce on an enemy with primal fury, dealing 3281 Physical Damage to them and to other nearby enemies.
Explosive Charge
Charge with your divine lance to impale all enemies in the area, dealing 3278 Magic Damage.
Dragon Leap
Launch yourself at an enemy, dealing 7726 Physical Damage to all enemies in the area
Prior to Update 26 the tooltip for pounce separated the initial target and the additional targets. If Pounce behaves differently it's not clear in the updated tooltip for the ability. I realize it may be a simplification for tooltip real estate, but "all enemies in the area" is the same as "to them and to other nearby enemies".

Mr_Wolfe✭✭✭So first the excuse for why Tormentor didn't work with werewolf was "We don't want there to be AoE taunts in the game." Now tormentor works with pounce but doesn't AoE taunt, yet Dragonknight and Templar can with their abilities?
Not cool ZoS, please give werewolves our AoE taunt with Brutal Pounce.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭In a video from Nefas on the subject, he mentioned something about ZOS knowing about this bug with Stampede and Pounce. Not sure where he got that info, but you can easily hear him talk about it in his Tormentor video.

Skip to 3:15 where he mentions this.Edited by MashmalloMan on June 2, 2020 10:01PM0 -
Sordidfairytale✭✭✭✭✭Stampede wouldn't apply the AOE taunt, as it's the same as Lotus Fan since there is an initial hit on the primary target followed by the AOE damage. That's how Pounce worked prior to the U26 patch as well.
If ZOS changes how those abilities apply their damage then that would change the mechanic.The Vegemite Knight0
