    Are tanks really expected to run around, pierce-armoring everything? Inner-raging ranged stuffs? PLS ZOS, add an AOE MASS TAUNT. Even if it costs all of my magicka or all of my stamina, Idgaf! Lol

    Its simply not needed. As a tank the FIRST thing you should be doing is throwing an AOE aggro such as caltrops or time stop or frost blockade, or whatever...this aggros all the enemies on you. giving you time(something like 12 seconds) to taunt any threat and chain in ranged enemies and root them all in place, by the time that is done the DPS will likely have burned through most if not all of the trash mob and you move on to the next.

    Agro is random though, throwing caltrops does not mean they will attack you. You can see this a lot in groups without a tank or if dps pulls first, they will not always go for who attacked first.
