✭I think the taunt would be better in one of the destruction skills. Like be a morph of clench. That way a tank could choose a staff of their elemental choice. Not just ice.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭frost tankWardens don't do a lot of damage already ... and when you layer an ice staff from the destruction line, those skills don't offer a lot for DPS.
While a frost tank has its own issues it's the better option.0 -

They created the "frost tank" because of wardens, yet wardens aren't being used as frost tanks (they're not being used as anything in endgame). Their DPS suffers as a result of this because they simply don't have enough DPS skills to be competitive (they do around 20% less damage than the other magicka DPS classes).Edited by MLGProPlayer on September 24, 2017 8:28PM0 -

Agreed. Would have much rather they put it on Frost Touch/Clench/Reach or something like that.0 -

✭✭✭I've never seen a viable frost tank ever
The frost staff changes are actually maybe the worst idea ever0 -
Chronicburn✭✭✭✭Staves should NEVER pull aggro automatically... if they wanted to add a taunt skill to the staff line that would be fine. This is really bad for mag sorcs who like the ice staff and now safer with a bow lol0

Um, you do know about the Undaunted taunt Inner Fire, yes? Already exists.0 -
Xelrick✭✭✭frost tankI actually use an Ice staff for range taunt on my tank.
Now I do use Sword and Board on my main bar like a Tank should, then my back bar is an Ice staff because it allows me to pull from Magicka pool and allows my stamina to recover. I favor the heavy attack taunt when my Magicka resource is low and I can't cast Inner Fire.
Also, I ran the Ice staff on my DPS Warden for a while, the trick is to not put points in the top passive in the Destruction Staff tree... of course people still think you take taunt sometimes.Xelrick: "Do not mix chaos with madness. It will only lead to unexplored adventures."1 -

I am aware that exists. But we were talking about the taunt attached to Ice staff, not taunts in general. I was merely stating that I would have preferred a taunt to have been added to an ability, such as frost touch, than to have it on heavy attack.0 -

Zimbugga✭✭✭Where is "both" option?
Both are good if you build them right. Frost mage can be strong and Frost tank can have better resistance than some players' dragonknight tanks.... I have saw this with my own eyes0 -
Xoelarasizerer✭✭✭frost tankI do enjoy the early on "baby's first ranged taunt" the Ice Staff offers, but do agree it would probably work better as a morph of Frost Touch. There's already destruction frost skills that immobilise enemies, Frost Clench taunting and creating a small damage shield seems like a reasonable swap.
