Taunt not working properly at the moment

Amfijakerwb17_ESO · May 2014

For the past 2 days my taunt have been acting weird. Bosses have been taunted and for no apparent reason they break it after x amount of seconds. This have primarily happened in Elden Hollow. Have anyone else have this happen to them?

I do not believe that abilities that taunt in ESO work the same way as many other games. It seems to just be a large chunk of aggro. Either that or something resets taunted status.

I have been tanking at least 50 VR dungeons but this issue havent shown untill the past couple of days.
And taunt directly forces the mob to attack you, single target taunt is very strong(when working as intended).

I've noticed it since...well, a month ago. As you say, single target is fine for the most part. It still doesn't keep aggro as long as it says the taunt lasts, which is what leads me to believe that it just slaps on a big chunk of aggro.

Also, you can run around taunting many trash mobs and they just ignore you after the first second. Makes me wonder if you can only have one taunted target at a time, or if it fades when you attack another target.

If you use the same taunt ability on two different mobs, only the latter mob will be taunted to you. But you can keep taunted up on 2 targets if you also use the taunt from the undaunted skill line.

I had kind of inferred from use, but good to know. I run a tanky build but I haven't done any dungeons yet, so I don't even have the Undaunted skill unlocked.
