Target Acquired.... Nope!

Yesterday I ran with some guild members in Vet Scrivener`s Hall, several times I would try and puncture target but they just walked by and either one shot someone or hammered them really hard. We have had block bugs, taunt bugs and now the skills will not light up when the target is right in front of you and your stabbing it several times. Some will say I was on cooldown but at one time we just started the second boss and I ran over to the boss and stabbed it several times, it just walked right passed me and killed a guild member. Really starting to loose the love for this game.

Is it possible that the enemy was still in an entering the arena animation? The people who got bonk'd mightve just been standing too close when the animation finished and went for them before you could feasibly taunt it... this happens in every content I can think of unless the taunt is timed right or people stand back.

There are quite a few pulls in the new dungeons with multiple enemies that hit hard. DPS and healers need to learn to hang back until tank can get taunt on the worst of them. I’ve seen it as dps and as tank. Even when taunt is functioning properly, GCDs are a thing, and the mobs within a given pack all aggro at the same time. The bigger ones seem to get locked into their first casts almost immediately, and there’s no switching targets for those casts once they’re started.

Well the boss started at one side toward the other members, walked right by me as I was stabbing with Puncture and walk over to one and Bonk`d them. Sry but after 5 stabs you would think the taunt would happen but it didn`t. It`s been occurring quite often since the U37 but it is really bad here lately.
