So im nearly a master Pikeman, and just to goof around with my prey i type /taunt constantly. However i just realized that i havnt the foggiest idea what taunt does outside of emote purposes. If i could have someone tell me that would be nice, thanks.

It's the "Save the medic" command. Anytime somebody catches agro who you don't want to catch agro (primarily your rezzer, but it could be a ranged fighter, etc), /taunt the critter that is on them and it should switch agro to you.

It's a great way to save your friends if they can't take much Melee damage, but I find the best use of /taunt is when the MOB is almost dead & starts to run away. Using /taunt will stop the MOB & root it where it is so you can get to it & finish it off.

It's also the best and faster way to kill yourself if you are not strong enough.


It happened to me ages ago on mission with 1 healer and 1 shootter friends. I did taunt again and again among a crowd of swarming dewbecks hoping to protect my friends ...


At the end of the action they were so kind to wait for me back from cloning facility ...!!


Just the case.


Have fun!

^ Really? Neato. I hate it when they run away like that. I'll have to try that.


Wait a minute, isn't this what Ranger's "Rescue" skill is supposed to do? Rescue is supposed to pull the aggro from a party member to you, but it has a skill mod and at Master Ranger still doesn't work great and it's not very useful, but taunt does it fine?
