Tanking and Agro

It seems there is no real way to keep Agro on bosses like in other mmo's

    There are two Taunt skills in this game, both single target.

    Puncture, like Shunravi mentioned above, and Inner Fire from the Undaunted guild skill line. Using those should get you boss aggro no problem, but make sure not to overdo it. I think it's three Taunts in 15 seconds and it will cause the boss to lose aggro.

    There needs to be real tanking macanics. A pull move A tount and debuffs or rebuffs to free people of controls or status ailments. I'm not saying this should DCUO or FF Ect. It makes no sense that soon as a boss is agro'ed he jumps from person to person like the drunk girl at a party

    i don't really mind. it keeps u and the others sharp while doing a dungeon. since i still see ppl that are standing in the red circle en die cuz of it. if a tank can aoe taunt, the healer and the dps will stand in a corner picking their nose while the tank is doing much to stay alive and keep all the aggro.

    but with boss fights i didnt had a problem that he became a "drunk girl". mabey once or twice..but then i was screaming in the group chat " YOLO "

    Don't over taunt. If you taunt a target too many times within a short timeframe, the target will become temporarily immune.

    If this is happening to you it's one of 2 things:
    1. You're fighting a boss with a special mechanic that will pick a random player to attack with a special attack every so often, regardless of taunts
    2. You're doing it wrong and either not using one of the 2 taunt skills to taunt, or you're over-taunting (which makes the boss immune to taunts for a period of time).
    Tanking in ESO requires skill, some serious thought about what skills you will use, and strategy. It's not as easy and point-and-click as it is in some games.

    I prefer taking and aggro in this, its not the perfectly organised timed routine that's very dull in other mmos, here we have just a little chaos added which makes it more interesting.
