Guild Wars 2

Scrapper as ‘tank’ specialization shuld get taunt.
It’s strange only ranger pets got it, and scrapper is the only spec now going for tank skills.

Taunt isn’t necessary for tanking, our encounters and mechanics here in GW2 don’t support that type of play style.

Taunt in it’s current state is much more a PvP skill, like reverse Fear almost. Even if we did have it, it wouldn’t be really any different than our stuns/dazes as it would likely be 2-3s max.

engi shuld be hard cc class, so i think extra taunt wont hurt anyway.

it would be cool if taut ignore defiance, making it exceptional way to cover for those zerk players behind.

or just add another way to gain more agrro.

Engineers can do a lot of things, including hard cc.

The taunt status is honestly VERY strong. Given what Engies can do without it already, I think it’s an unneeded addition to an already powerful profession.

If you feel like you should be playing tankier, then read up, on how aggro works in this game and grab some toughness/vitality gear. Bombs work very well for that because of the condition spam they can dish out in melee. Thumper turret is also a good aid in grabbing aggro. Thumper turret and aa with shield kit can enough to take out big targets Wih surprising ease (though it takes a while).
