What’s bugging me about taunt is this line:
“For example, when used on players, it will force the taunted player to run at their target with their skill bar locked.”

1) So, does this their target means, that taunt do not actually cause the target-switch?

2) When you are feared, you still can throw an anti-cc skill and stop fear. If you have your skill bar locked, does it mean, you can’t break out from taunt by yourself no matter what?

3) Is it going to be this http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Taunt taunt?

For the 2nd question: yeah, seems like the words “minus stunbreakers” answer it

LOL I imagine a zerk of revenants with “resistance” boon honing in on a group of condi spitting enemies..“bye bye”

Well of corruption finishes this zerg.

Which brings me to the question, what condition is opposite to resistance boon?

Need more than 1 Specialization to make sense

When I heard “Specialization” it immediately reminded me of many old MMOs (Asian ones, like Requiem or Pandora Saga), where you have your base class (say, rogue, for example) with a set of basic skills, and when you get to 50 lvl, you can decide between 2 or more specialization with completely different, specialization-unique skills, and you keep your base-profession skills too.
In Requiem online, mentioned above, the rogue at 50 lvl could become an assassin, specializing (this word again…) in dual wielding swords and taking out targets 1 by 1 or a stalker, that relied on crossbows and massive DoT damage from huge distances. Both could use the basic rogue skills and swords/crossbows, though the skills from the specialization were totally unique.
It’s fine, that A-net brings only one specialization per profession at once (at least they are doing something), if they will bring more in later. If not, then the specialization is just utterly terrible choice of the name of this mechanic.
