Do the changes to the Tormentor set mean Warden portals and DK chains are, now, hard taunts? (even when they hit an unpullable mob?)

    Not sure about warden, but DK morhp that pulls you to target is definitly is a taunt now, it will activate tormentor.

    Time to test it! This can also mean that you can always use silver leash to taunt. Interesting tank set.

    I'm wondering if someone who has tested the Tormentor set can tell me if the DK's Unrelenting Grip ability (the pull-in morph of chains) is, now, a hard-taunt with the Tormentor set?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I definitely saw Taunt debuff pop up when I chained while wearing tormentor.

    Definetly ! I alredy started to make some WW tank builds and ended up with Tormentor + Ebon + Earthgore (all armour pcs with sturdy trait). This could provide some nice gropu utility and be quite uniwersal. Also, if you will have some magicka recovery + tri-stat potions, you could use WW heal to recover stamina, even when blocking. But since Pack Leader has 10% dmg reduction - you will only have to block potenial one-shots and not all of the dmg.

    Thank you for the replies. It may be a small point, but out of all the changes regarding Greymoor, this one may, actually, be the one I look forward to the most (apart from the actual story).

    Another fun idea someone suggested to me was to use Swarm Mother's as an AoE taunt. Haven't tested to see if it'll work though.

    Dunno if possible, set cannot proc a set.

    However, Werewolf set + Tormentor + Dragonknights Leap could work :)

    I doubt, WW Brutal Pounce morph that does aoe damage does not AoE taunt, only the mob you target for Pounce.

    Oh you sweet summer child ;)

    Seriously though, Tormentor + Tremorscale + Mighty Glacier + Shield Charge + Pierce Armor was fun if limited one-button-wonder for group PvP.

    EDIT: Just tested swarm mother with it. Confirmed that it does not work. But hey, leap being an AoE taunt still looks fun if a bit messy!

    So tormentor is working with tremorscale next patch?

    So, uh, does this mean that the Necromancer's "Beckoning Armor" is now a taunt, as well?

    If so, I may have to sacrifice an ovary, as I've been known to say that I'd trade my left ovary for an AOE taunt, and while Beckoning Armor isn't exactly an AOE, it's close enough to it for me to be satisfied.

    Yeah Tormentor does not currently proc Tremorscale, not sure if that's intentional or not

    You'll taunt multiple targets if they hit you from range, just by casting one spell, we can settle on calling it a AoE taunt :D So, templars, dks and necros have a nice, unfortunately useless, toy to play with :D

    I have read on another thread, somewhere, that in order for the Tormentor set to work, direct damage must be done to the enemy upon the execution of the charge, leap, or pull skill. If so, it would suggest skills such as Beckoning Armor will not work. I have not tested this, and I hope it's not true, but it would not surprise me.

    I do believe this is a fun addition to current game dynamics, and I'm sure more will be added in the future so that Tormentor is not the only set that combos with movement-taunts. I would, however, like to express my wish for ZoS to really commit to this and allow the taunt to proc set-effects, such as Swarm Mother and Tremor Scale. If nothing else, it's just good fun.
