ZOS, respond to us that you KNOW that there is a PROBLEM with the TAUNTS

I haven't noticed any problem with taunts. But you should get that shift key looked at.

You must not be playing a Tank or you would notice

I play only a tank and have never had any trouble taunting or keeping aggro. Maybe you should try playing as a good tank. And seriously get that shift key checked.

None of the tanks I know have reported an issue.

The OP is correct. Those people who claim to never (!) had an issue taunting need to step into VET DSA and give those lovely last stages a try.

OP is right, there is a tanking issue. Aggro isn't lasting the proper length of time and sometimes doesn't apply on the first try. Happens with either taunt. Several other players have talked about it in the forums as well and I thought it was a 'known issue' that ZoS was looking at.

Edit: No, I was mistaken, it's not in the 'known issues' thread. Though I have seen a few posts in the forums over the last week with similar complaints.

Valymer

It is doing it in normal DSA as well it seems, at least on the last stage

I had some trouble with taunts *sometimes* working in Vet Spindleclutch.

My keyboard is fine. It works well with all my other games, so I don't think that's the problem. I've also tanked it successfully several times in the past without any problem, so I have to consider the possibility that there is a problem with the taunts.

You can't have troubles taunting if you don't taunt... Do you play as a tank solo? Because, sure, you will have no problems keeping aggro if no one else is touching a mob lol.

OP is right, there is an issue with taunting. best tanks in the game have been having issues with it since patch.

There is clearly a problem with taunts at the moment. You lose aggro randomly and too often. Taunts don´t last the 15 seconds long as they should.

Some situations when I lose aggro:

- proc of histbark set
- healer gives me a heal
- nightblade puts ult under my feet
- damage spike by damage dealer

Spottswoode

I have attracted aggro from boss monsters that should have been directed at the tank by standing still. I have also been the first target of aggro, as a healer mind you, and the tank was unable to taunt aggro away from me. (He gets it after I die, of course.)

I'm not terribly keen on the tank side of things, but I've been slapped around enough by taunted bosses to notice some problems.

Don't ridicule me kid, try tanking Trials, Hardmodes, Vet DSA, and Serpent in SO. If you did any of those, you would see an issue with the taunts.

And with all the badges you have and such, you really need to lay off the forums and play more of the game, then you might notice, you really don't understand what we're talking about.

Taunt was broken this patch. They intended to change the "bug" to stoneskin but instead changed the way stoneskin is applied, making it more difficult to re-taunt adds before taunt durations explire. There was no mention of this as an intended change, so it's most likely a bug or mistake.

Don't flame people if you have no idea what you are talking about.

@zbtiqua‌ since you're in NA, any clues yet as to if this issue was stealth fixed?

Our servers are still offline for maintenance. I didn't see any mention in the patch notes, but I'll try to test it out when servers come back up to see just in case.

What I have noticed was the taunt falls off a target if you get a knockback done to you. The taunt can just fall off when you roll 50% of the time. When you reapply the taunt it does not reset the timer about 50% of the time. So, either you count or have addon for the timer before reapplying taunt. Suggestion trying to hit taunt 2 times to apply it and try to not get a knock back done to you. I just feel like I am pretty much hitting taunt every 6 to 10 seconds to keep it up. It still falls off 10% of the time.

Not the stealth issues, the taunt issues (don't think I saw anything about taunting in patch notes).

vladimilianoub17_ESO1

Oh my!! thank god this thread.I kind of feel better now knowing I am not the only one!!

Im an awesome tank(thats what ppl who grp with me say,they always give me a compliment for good tanking)

Since realease I have noticed some issues with taunting but not really that bad so i ignored it.

Today I was tanking vet DC,and dude that freaking netch boss just suddenly go to another player and i literally used all my magika and stam(I use both taunts,have 1 in 1 bar and the other in the other bar) spamming taunts on the boss and he just ignored me.In one try averything was fine until I died,a player quickly rezed me so I proceed to taunt the boss,nothing,like I just didnt exist.

There is definetively something wrong with taunts and can be noticed more in update 5 than before.The problem is there is not many tanks compared to other roles to advocate for us.This brings frustration to the tank players because people think that we are doing a bad job with taunting when really we are not.

Zenimax,please aknowledge this issue and fix it.At least acepting that there is an issue with taunts will help us defend ourselves when ppl think we are doing bad at taunting but the important thing is to fix it.I am a pasionate tank,my main in all the many MMOs i have played is a tank and the MMOs that normally dont have a solid tank mechanics I avoid them.So please ZOS,Its abvious that there is a taunting issue.Fix it please.

pardon my bad english ,its my 2nd language.

Sorry my bad, I'm jonesing like a heroin addict right now, so reading comprehension is not all there. But like I said we won't know yet since the server is still down.

Petros

I would like to get some acknowledgement from ZOS, at least something as in, "We're looking into it".

Other posts they've acknowledged have only a couple posts.
