I have a concern when it comes to Taunts.

How will they sync with Temporary Transformations.

Locked to auto attack, could pretty much destroy transformation skills that are temporary and not charge based like Ele’s weapons.

Skills like Rampage and Tombs would be ruined which are major elites for some builds.

Stability should block taunt so i doubt most transformations are effected by it.

It is probably rather unlikely that you can spam Taunt, and as such it would just add another level of strategy to the fights.

But yeah, it is likely that Stability would stop Taunt.

I don’t really see this as a bad thing at all. What you’re describing is counterplay. Most temp-transformation classes also have ready access to stability (and often also get it on the same skill that transforms them), thus they have counterplay to the counterplay.

I agree that stability will likely stop this as well. That said, not sure how it would ruin these any more than fear. Taunt is essentially just fear in the other direction.

It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
