Undaunted Ultimate Idea

kazeweaver · May 2015

My idea for an undaunted ultimate would be a large AOE taunt that doesn't do any damage but taunts all npcs in the area for maybe 5-10 seconds and gives the caster minor resolve and minor ward ward for the duration and make it so the ability costs something like 400 ultimate so it isn't spammable. It would be good to give the team some breathing time to reset before continuing a fight. Gives everyone breathing room for a moment.

For an AOE taunt the buff should be based on the amount of enemies taunted (for example :if 8 enemies or above are affected gain major resolve and major ward

This game definitely needs an aoe taunt, but it shouldn't be spammable. Making it an ultimate fixes that. I like this idea.

An ultimate in the undaunted skill tree would be nice, but I don't see much use for your suggestion. Maybe in vDSA when your healer dies and you don't have a dk tank.
I'd prefer a ultimate that is weak on it's on but grants a powerfull synergy to be more in line with the other undaunted skills.

Yes. An AOE taunt. have said this many times to guildies.. Either Undaunted or 1h&Shield ult.

For Undaunted tho, it does need to have a synergy

Aoe taunt I like the idea, with maybe a synergy like hyper suggested that hits all affected mobs with a aoe damage

and yeah make it an ultmate, spammable would make the game way to easy, even more then it already is

That's... Just... Perfect

. And I'm a DK tank. Tanking large groups of mobs, sometimes is... A nice challenge.

Beautiful thinking, I support your idea

thats a high cost and very little extra utility, only taunt 5s and 2 minor buffs 400 ulti
I would say it should be around the middle-costing ultimates of maybe 150 and maybe add something extra to it

paulsimonps · May 2015

I support it, but yea, to high of a cost for something that last so short of a time, do remember that without the occasional ulti increase by abilities you only get 3 ulti a second, 400 ulti would take over 2min to get. I think it fits more with undaunted than sword and board but if it was sword and board I would love it if the effect was an actual taunt, like you bash your sword against your shield and literally taunt them into attacking you.

Love the idea, if a AoE taunt is added to the game it should be a ultimate.

How about a short duration summon of one of the other bosses/mini bosses you've previously dispatched, chosen at random?

What would be more epic than dropping Bogdan right in the middle of the Ash Titan's domain...

Regular Ult could get you the mini - 4 man synergy could get you an end boss.

Whatcha think?

EDIT: As an alternative to the summon, your character could simply transform into said boss/mini boss...

TheSunAlsoRises · May 2015

nice idea. how about the synergy also being an AOE damage after the taunt?

Drazhar14 · May 2015

Great idea!

kazeweaver · May 2015

well since ZoS wanted to make the game untraditional in terms of not having your set tank dps healers that's why I suggested to make it short. It gives your group a nice moment to breathe and regain some pools and just reset. I am open to suggestions and definitely dev input

NO AOE TAUNTS!!!
If your DPS guys can't deal with the trash fast enough you should get better DPS guys. The game already has enough bunch up and nuke type mechanics as it is. The fact that the tank doesn't have an AOE taunt is one of the things that still gives the DPS role any excitement.I don't want no breathing moments in any boss fights.

What tanking needs is are some large area debufs some larger area snares and a pull available for every class.
There also needs to be a rework of single target taunts to make them much more reliable and less buggy than now.

So what would be the effect in AvA?

Sorcs would become OP and should be nerfed of course.

would be great if they could just fuse together heavy armor ultimate with an aoe taunt instead. would still increase spell / armor resistance but offer an aoe aggro for the user. in the heavy armor passive tree you can opt if you would like to keep the taunt or not for a skill point (non tanks use the ability too).
