These trolls are getting worse

The_Dark_Wayfarer · March 2019

Anyone notice that trolls are starting to kite world bosses away from the area in an attempt to reset the battle and screw other players over? I got a world boss down to 14 percent earlier today, and some troll came along and kited the boss away from the area effectively killing all my progress for the last 5 minutes. He then whispered "lol salty" or something like that to me. I think I'm just gonna stop going after world bosses now. This is the third time this week which is a lot now unless I've been living under a rock.

Slot inner fire to negate that.

Oh great, now they play overland content too?

My sympathies... Recently I had bad experiences with random dungeons, so I have very present that bad feeling.

If you use Inner Fire to taunt it, it will focus on you. They can use a taunt, too, though. If that happens, you can simply overtaunt it (use Inner Fire a few times after each other) which will make it immune to taunting. As long as you keep it taunted and taunt immune it shouldn't go after them.

I rather see less players in eso. We had wonderful and friendly players when the game wasnt popular.

Yeah, just slot a taunt, force the boss into overtaunt, and that will guarantee that the boss will stay where the players attacking it are.

Yes, but if the target had already been taunted twice during the last 13 seconds (iirc on time) there will be taunt immunity for a short period of time based on how far apart taunts were applied. I tend to taunt when the previous taunt is almost ended so I do not recall the exact time.

So if you are doing the third taunt, you are good. If the troll is the third taunt then they are guaranteed to have it for at least a short period of time

Given that I often find a second tank enter the fight without paying attention like a noob the boss could very well be on the verge of being over taunted if not over taunted.

So this brings up the idea, run with two tanks or a second taunt. Keep the boss over taunted so immunity is on one of you. This does not guarantee success but it does give you more control.

While some of that is definitely deliberate, I think a lot of it is unintentional with less experienced players freaking out when taking too much damage or just not realising etc.

Slot inner fire anyway
