Why does taunt not really work since update?

Hey admin. The taunt skill is almost useless now. Is this a glitch or did you not want it to work anymore? No point trying to spec as a tank.

They did the same last Update.. I have no idea why they did it.. Just leave taunt how it always was.. It worked how it should!

its happen to me when i'm (lvl 125 with taunt 20/30) with a friend lvl 90 (taunt 10/20) doing a boss, but my taunt seemed useless
a moment later a tank friend (lvl 150) coming for help, she feel strange too that her taunt didnt work :o
if there are changes to this skill?...
no need to be a tank now :?

We have noticed this too in Belenus.

I suspect that when they redid the damage they overlooked redoing taunt and warcry. It almost seems as if taunt no longer generates more aggro than damage and heals do. Probably just needs to be rebalanced.

I hope they fix it soon.

I doubt that it was done on accident; i could be wrong obviously. With all the changes I have the feeling that OTM wanted to have tanks lose the aggro more easily so that other party members would take the full brunt of the attack. Perhaps there is gear that can help bring some of it back but that dosent help people who aren't high enough level to get it.

It feels like 1/3 of what it was before.

They don't need to do it.. The AoE's are enough to smash us all anyway.

Hi there, we're currently looking into balancing the encounters, but overall since every class got a massive dps boost in the expansion, this will mean they grab aggro easier than before.

And yet we are getting skill failures at a rate never seen before. I got three spell failures in a row as a mage with high lures. This is a game wide problem.

Hi I can look into this, could you clarify what do you mean by skill failure?
