That pet should have icon above him indicating that he goes for taunt for some counterplay. Thar or taunt should be delayed a bit – 0.5s after executed f2. It is a bit too easy to taunt people, and its even more funnier that it bypass dodges atm.
Why should the ranger taunt have an icon when the Mesmers’ doesn’t. At least with rangers is semi active and mesmers’ is purely passive.
As far as unblockable it doesn’t matter as long as its the same across the board. Undodge-able is a bit broken.
On a side note I’m in favor of it being unblocable. Ranger are the only class that doesn’t have an unblockable weapon skill. Viewing pets as a weapon and making this unblockable wouldn’t be bad or unfair.
How do you invasion taunt working. Its not a physical attack there is nothing to block it more of a shout. Blocks should have no affect vs taunt, taunt should be affected by stability.
In order to properly understand the big picture,
everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.
If you think Ranger pet taunts should have an icon indicating them, wait ‘til Berserkers are play-tested/released. Taunt when using the mode if traited for with no tell, no animation, and they can pop it as soon as they have adrenaline built up. Their taunt radius is also 300 our pet’s have a 240. Fun stuff incoming!
I think the indicator should appear on the rangers buff bar when taunt is ready to be used. Helps the ranger keep track of the internal cooldown and provides counterplay since the opponent can see the ranger has a taunt ready.
Haha, i actually play pewpew myself from time to time, but i think its really too ez. There is literally no way to see it coming, a pet may just chase someone to autoatk or taunt. That it currently bypass dodges is a bug as i doubt its working as intended. It should be unblockable tho otherwise that trait will end being completely useless.
As for berserker f2 – i think its broken and berserk mode should have it taunt delayed. It is something i will be definitely pushing next beta if it doesnt work this way now. Then again im not sure how many warriors will pick that trait. Berserk mode lasts 15seconds, once that duration is over, berserk mode enters on 12cd+ require full adrenaline. Thats basically 27cd. Our taunt has 15cd. Stab in f2 looks way better at this point.

I suggested something like this before, similar with how Engineer’s have an icon for Streamlined Kits. Would be nice to have. Icons displayed are Beastly Warden and Invigorating Bond.

Or use cd of pet swap as indicator of rdy taunt.
I don’t swap a full health pet just to keep track of a cooldown.

Exactly what I had in mind. I was a little kittened off when I hopped on my engi after the patch and found they had an indicator for kinetic battery. Between that and all the ranger bugs all I could think was the ranger was a rush job, they got down to the deadline and said “screw it just turn in the changes the way they are, we’ll sort rangers out once we start working on druids”
