Why is Taunt not a Warrior skill?

This skill alone gives Revenants much more sustain than they need and thematically belongs to Warriors who are in dire need of any help they can get in this meta. Also the duration of Taunt of Revenants is ridiculously high. It doesn’t need to be 3 seconds. A half second or 1 second taunt already interrupts many chained combos. Does it really need to be 3 seconds long? What was the balance team thinking????

Why you believe it belongs to Warrior, but not Guardian?
Anyway, Warrior already has access to Taunt via Berserker.

Real issue with Revenant Taunt (Eye for an Eye) is:
→ Its completly passive.
→ It also applies Protection.
→ It barely can be avoided, since you can trigger it with e.g. AoE Daze.
→ It last 3 seconds, when Beastly Warden (Ranger GM) lasts 2 seconds, while its often hard to land due to low range and pets nature.

I really hate that while taunted, my toon auto attacks so godkitten slow. If he’s going to taunt me, at least make the auto attack cast as fast as possible.

Eye for an Eye definitely needs to be looked at. It’s a 45 second passive, that applies four seconds of Taunt (with Viper). And sevens seconds of Protection (with Durability), almost ten seconds when also using the Facet.

Then a bug needs to be fixed.

Facet of Nature always worked on Revenant himself. Since BWE2 when Herald was introduced.

If it really is then I agree because the tooltip clearly says "Outgoing Boon duration" not "Boon duration".
Edit: tested it by using bolster fortification+Ventari’s Will and it is really applying the boon duration to ourselves.

The taunt lasts longer than 3 seconds due to vipers.

It lasts 4 seconds, and can proc from an extremely distant CC.

Tempest Defense is only for melee range.
Mirror of Anguish has the longest cooldown and has no additionnal benefit.

Outgoing Boon duration means boons that the player under the aura effect applies.

Revenant is under the aura effect.
Revenant applies Protection to itself.
Protection duration is increased.

Just like outgoing healing means anyone under the effect of the heal right?

We have a single, short ranged taunt locked behind our E-spec’s mechanic. To use it as anything more than a burst setup you have to hold off on going berserk- losing yourself 10% damage and other bonuses while doing so, on top of being locked by having 30 adrenaline on standby.
