So I started using my tank and I don't know why I've never done this before. Tanking is so stressful it's fun. However, I have an issue with taunting, and i think a change to Inner Fire could help.
This should be morph of Inner Fire:

Enraging Aura
Enemies in front of you are taunted and will attack you for 10 seconds.

    This game has killed all hopes of aoe taunt.

    The only time I would accept an AOE taunt is if it was an ult and had a cap



    Tanking is already boring compared to other roles, please don't make it any easier

    The key part of your sentence is ''never done this before'' . You just need to adjust . That is all . Tanking is really easy in this game already . Don't try to make it easier . Even if AOE taunt would be implemented , no tank that knows what they are doing won't be using it . Why you ask ? Because it is bad . Imagine this skill in vMoL trash packs . 2 tanks taking aggro of different adds is really important . A tank who has the 2-hander on him , should never take an another 2-hander or any other hard hitting mob because he will die . As you know , I hope you know , after 3 taunts , the target becomes immune to taunting and won't attack to the 4th taunter . Even if you manage to split the aggro of adds somehow , it would be unnecessary effort and waste of time on positioning . Also , it will create an another problem called taunt-immunity . One tank getting all the aggro and the other tank is trying to aggro the specific add among those would be painful to watch . It is just torture to that tank . I (also loads of tanks who knows the basics of tanking) support ZOS's behaviour about this AOE Taunt thing . I have no doubt .

    Also , you basically have free taunts now . Activate 1h/s ultimate and ta daaa ! You can taunt everything for free now ! (please don't use your ultimate on something like this , I was joking) Good luck !

    AOE taunts say teo things "I'm too lazy to taunt mobs" or "I suck at tanking".

    Either way, they already said they're not doing it. So that's nice.

    I can't comment much on being a tank. But from what I read in the beginning, ESO tanking was about taunting the big dudes that could demolish the dps and healer. Usually, that was the largest mob in the pack. And of course, the boss. It was never about a traditional tanks role of maintaining aggro on the entire group.

    I actually found this set up quite fun in ESO. And a long time ago, the one mob that tended do hit the hardest after the big melee dude was the archer in the back. Or the fire mage in the corner. So even as a Templar healer, I could heal and throw a Blazing shard to stun the archer and keep the archer out of the fight. Dps would also prioritize on taking out archers and fire mages, too. And everyone was responsible for bashing/interrupting channeled attacks and heals. It wasn't always about aoeing everything down. At least that is how it felt.

    The revamped dungeons have brought back a bit of these tactics. It makes the dungeons a bit more fun, I think.

    The only change I wish that was made to inner fire was that it applied fracture and breach also.
