Combat Move - Taunt

Post by jordancoles »

For use in PVE. The game currently lacks group play and abilities for group combat, starting with PVE could be a nice way to go about it.

4 IP, 20 cooldown

Immediately diverts the attention of an animal towards the user.
Currently you just spam punches and chops while hoping the weaker members of the hunting party aren't targetted, so it would be nice to have more control in situations like that while group fighting animals.

This could also be used for hunting trolls/mammoths and other group-oriented mobs.

I don't dislike the idea of a combat move that would allow us to cheese less.
Only input is that if anyone cast taunt, it should go on cooldown for everyone.

Would be nice, prefer a higher cooldown... can see it being "exploited" otherwise

I wouldn't want someone to be able to "taunt" and run so that the animal cant actually reach them, thus never target anyone else.

Face to face combat move not a leash

I can imagine it working on something like troll, but not a wild animal. Also, maybe it's just luck or not, but few buddies punches animal, it doesn't care to chase their current target if blocked... But it just could be my luck in party.
