Taunt is a condition right?! So why is it that I can’t transfer it back with my Reaper skills (plague signet and suffer) back to it’s source?! They don’t have many times stability… Kitten fix this! Or correct the “transfer conditions to enemy” to “transfer conditions to enemy with the exception of taunt”. I don’t care about excuses!
And don’t come with that that conditions are transfered with priority and with x number, I had only taunt on me many times!

I think thats its a special condition, like the Toxin effect that some mordrem apply that can’t be sent elsewhere. Try looking for the telegraph.

Im pretty certain it CAN be. I play a shout ranger and it isn’t rare (not common…but not quite rare either) that I get “taunted” by a reaper im fighting. Where a condi transfer is the only possibility.

Only explanation is I use taunt. It pushes the reaper up to that threshold. It gets transferred back and suddenly my character is standing there leaving me with the irony that my stun break just caused me to get hit by something I could have used that stun break for. (Im speaking about plague sending (I think its called…the get 3 condis immediately transfer them back trait) that seems to be the most common method I get hit by this)

So at least in my experience im fairly certain it CAN be transfered. Or its just a massive coincidence that has been repeated multiple times. Which is totes possible I guess.

You can condi-tranfer it, or you can break it with a stun-break (like popping sprectral armor). I have done both playing as a reaper. In the case of plague sig, which is both a transfer and a stun break, I’m not certain which kicks in against taunt. I never pay close enough attention.

From the wiki:
“Taunt is a condition that forces the affected target to run towards and auto-attack the souce of the taunt, with all other skills disabled except stun breakers. Taunt is like Fear in that it also counts as a control effect, meaning it can be cleared by both condition removal as well as stun breaks.”

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

You can’t transfer taunt or fear with signet since signet breaks stun and removes it all together. Any condi transfer that isn’t a stunbreak can transfer fear and taunt.

You can transfer taunt and fear with suffer, putrid mark, deathly swarm and I believe the sigil as well.

That’s what I thought Sigmoid, but like I said, I never pay close enough attention. ^.^

You wont transfer it with plague signet, because you stunbreak the taunt with it.
So there is no taunt left to transfer.

Because suffer is an instant-cast shout that doesn’t stun-break, you can transfer fear/taunt with suffer.
