Every other heavy class has the option to taunt in their traitlines (Eye for an Eye – Revenant and Bloody Roar – Warrior). Besides, the update of Piercing Light affected the Guardian’s CC, we need access to this condition. I think that taunt in Guardian could be added to activating Virtues in the following traits:

Dragon Hunter:
Big Game Hunter: Striking an enemy tethered by your Spear of Justice taunts your enemy, causes vulnerability and increases damage dealt.

Bulwark: Taunt enemies when you activate Shield of Courage. Shield of Courage is larger and lasts longer.

Virtues
Battle Presence: Nearby allies gain Virtue of Resolve’s passive effect. Activating Virtue of Resolve taunts enemies.

Think this will make PvE and PvP gameplay of the DH more dynamic and less static, as it is now.

Could be interesting in PvP. I don’t see much use of it in PvE though, especially not tied to those traits.

The spear of Justice would be insanely overpowered if it could also taunt. Basicaly you’d be neglecting the chance for an enemy to put themselves in a safe position without using a stun breaker.
In temple of the storm it would be a free fall at stillness’ spawn place for example.

I like the idea of the shield of courage though. It would make enemies attack you while you are protecting yourself from the front thus giving the guard a much needed party play.

Battle Presence: Nearby allies gain Virtue of Resolve’s passive effect. Activating Virtue of Resolve taunts enemies. I fail to see how this would work, you taunt enemies where you land with the wings, where you take off? core guard only option? I’d discard this one.

Then again I really liked the shield one.

Bulwark: Taunt enemies when you activate Shield of Courage. Shield of Courage is larger and lasts longer.

Frankly I like this one the most as well. On a 180 or 240 radius maybe?

The downside would be that it would be DH only, not guardian. There might be other options to skirt around this. Like Retaliatory Subconscious or maybe one of the signets, but they would have to be adjusted accordingly. Signet of Wrath obviously lacks a purpose so that could be a good candidate.
