Storm atros in vSS Lokke HM frequently ignore taunt

Suddwrath

I've noticed a bug during the Lokke HM fight (not sure if it also occurs during non-HM). Even if one of the tanks taunts the storm atros, the atros will still attack other party members. After being taunted, the atro will face the tank, throw out its arm in the direction of the tank, but the lightning attack will go in a completely different direction. The tank can even circle around the atro and it will rotate to face the tank (as enemies do when they are taunted), but its attacks will still go to a different target.

What did you do?
Taunt the storm atro

What did you expect to happen?
The atro will attack me

What actually happened?
The atro faced me, lifted its arm at me as though it was targeting me, but the lightning bolt shot out of its back and hit another party member

How often does it happen?
Very, very frequently. Not every single time with every single atro, but numerous times with numerous atros during a single fight.

It is intended. There are multiple enemies in the game that ignore taunt. vSS Storm Atros are one of them.

But it doesn't seem intended. With the enemies that ignore taunt they do not face you if you taunt them. Take Drodda from Direfrost keep as an example: The tank can taunt her all day long, but she ignores the taunt and does whatever she wants to do. Whenever she is attacking a player she will face that player, even if the tank is taunting her.

The issue with the storm atros is that when the tank taunts them, they will face the tank, lift up their arm at the tank, but the lightning bolt shoots out of their back. And here's the thing: The tank can successfully get taunt most of the time. Taunting usually works. If the adds truly ignored taunt they would not face the tank who just taunted them, nor would taunt ever work on them.
