Thread: Anyone know what Taunt does?
it agro's the target on to you if it succeeds. Because of the way SWG works, you must have already intiated combat before doing a taunt, or it will just do nothing but initiate an attack.
I use it often when hunting with a friend. She's a doc-CH who has a nack for getting too close to the animals Im beating up. They agro her, I taunt them, she's safe again. It's completely pointless when you're solo, but a lifesaver for other people with less tanking ability then you.
Ooo, cool 
I thought it was broken, because I thought it was supposed to "anger" the target and make them agro you, lol (which of course didn't work)... and I'd always use it when I'm solo to try to pull the targets out one at a time...
After reading what you posted, I understand. Thank you for sharing

Be nice if we got an area taunt at master though.
That might bring a whole bunch of ass-whoop down on you though.
Taunt is great for saving your BE buddies. When he has to crawl up to a pack of Mutant Rancors to try and get a DNA sample, I sit back and ready my TAUNT. He is a little TOO soft and squishy to take the pounding from the mutants. If I can quickly stick a TAUNT on them, we have a chance to survive.
