PVP Taunt that draws players to you...

Savos_Saren · February 2016

Would anyone be interested in a taunt that would draw enemy players to you? Kind of like the opposite of Mass Hysteria... but instead of sending players away from you (uncontrollably) it would draw them to you.

Perhaps if you hit someone with Inner Rage, they'd be drawn to you until they had to break free. Maybe there could be a "group taunt" that does the exact opposite of Mass Hysteria.

This, of course, would only be effective in PVP after heavy armor gets a buff. No one really cares about tanks in PVP. But a taunt that would draw you toward a tank would definitely make tanks viable again in PVP.

Thoughts?

Oh boy...

ummm....

That is a crazy out of the box idea... but I see serious abuse of it, because EVERYONE could taunt like this with the ranged undaunted taunt...and I'd be first in line to taunt every NB and streaking sorc right back to me to collect my wage.

ID love it. I'm mean obviously it would have to be breakable, and drawing you to them might be to much. Maybe make the taunted face the taunter and all attacks are sent the taunters way. Although it would have to have immunity too since someone could just force you to attack only them...

Ok maybe this is a bad idea lots of taunts not many cool downs..

Savos_Saren · February 2016

Well, I'd assume that the same CC immunity that you get after you break free of Mass Hysteria would apply to this skill as well. That way, you couldn't constantly be pulled in various directions.

Then again... I guess only NBs have Mass Hysteria as an ability. Perhaps my idea for a PVP taunt should only apply to a class... like DK or something.

NativeJoe · February 2016

I agree. give DK's something.

I'm a sorc...and they need something other then reflect and mitigation. otherwise they're pretty much all cornered into being WB scrubs : (

There already is a global taunt.

Be Nightblade.

or

Be Nightblade w/ a Wedding Dress.

@ZOS_RichLambert @Wrobel ... are you seeing this?

AWSOME! hahaha... totally true. I see NB and i start to salivate.

Savos_Saren · February 2016

It's true. NB's are the little A-Holes of PVP (trust me- I play three). So, I understand the satisfaction of killing them. But, I would LOVE to see DKs with a targeted taunt be able to counter NBs with their Mass Hysteria.

Imagine the satisfaction of seeing a NB pop Mass Hysteria against your group- only to be drawn in my the DK Tank. That's a dish best served hot...

Spottswoode · February 2016

I hear profanity laced comments about people's mothers are just as effective.

Savos_Saren · February 2016

Deleted.

corrosivechains · February 2016

I love this idea, and make it easily avoidable, like needing a certain amount of HP to ignore/negate the taunt, enough to where you either have to have a bunch of +health gear or a good chunk of points spent in health, so when people inevitably whine about it, they'll pretty much be just saying "i'm a bad player who doesn't know what he's doing".

Just pretend to be afk...the ultimate pvp taunt that will draw everyone to you.

SirDopey · February 2016

It's already in game, its called Tea Bagging.....

Savos_Saren · February 2016

@corrosivechains

HAHA! Could you imagine if they based the negate of the taunt off of health? All those 64 Attribute point Mag/Stam builds would be screwed.

But no... I wouldn't say base it off of health. Just a normal ability that can be negated by a "break free" is fine with me. And give the break free the same time of CC immunity. I want to be fair to all participants. But, I do, wholeheartedly, think that PVP groups would love a tank that could draw the opposition toward them!

If I recall this is what the 'charm' spell from spell crafting was datamined to be like.

corrosivechains · February 2016

that was exactly my thought process @jaburns and oh man, anyone who ever used to play MUDs knows how ridiculous a charm spell can truly be.

cast 'charm' suchnsuch
o suchnsuch remove all
o suchnsuch drop all
get all
o suchnsuch kill guard
guffaw suchnsuch

jokes pertaining to the size or promiscuity of one's mother seems to be quite effective

Pchela · February 2016

that taunt is called grand overlord and its attracts people looking for their achievement to kill one, works swell

I have heard something similar to this. The one I heard before was anyone caught in the taunt( could be some sort of AOE bubble that is put up that travels with the tank for x seconds) could only see the tank unless they broke free of it and gained immunity or had CC immunity at the time of taunt. This would allow the tank to take damage as they would be the only one being seen during the taunt time. Could have some kind of blackend out background area so you can know you are in the taunt radius so you can(if you chose) break free of it. This would help tanks be effective in PVP as well.

Alucardo · February 2016

Please, no. I already have a hard enough time keeping control of my character as it is. Fear is bad enough, we don't need another

coolermh · February 2016

As long as its a breakfree cc i think its a pretty cool idea

Katahdin · February 2016

This would not be a good thing for any class to have. DKS have at least 2 gap closers that they can use plus talons. NB have mass hysteria as an escape measure because they do not have shields or other damage mitigation.

...when I got my khajiit seducer chestpiece in 1.5 patch, I got so happy and dyed all my armor Julianos White. The shiny shiny color was a fitting dye for my kitty styled look ... then I entered pvp Q.Q

Kittens aren't the only ones attracted to shiny shiny stuff. :'(

I always thought the taunt would be interesting to translate into PvP. Basically, the individual that was taunted, could only see (or clearly see) the person that taunted them. Everyone else was invisible (or hazy and undefined), unless they are in your way in which case you can clearly see and crush them. I also think the person taunted should do extra damage when hitting the taunter (or someone preventing them from getting to the taunter). It would need an immunity time and probably a potion that defeats it of course.
