taunts a mental skill?

[Kine]

<DIV>I have heard it mentioned that a mobs resist check on our taunts is based on mental resist. Anyone know for sure that this is the case? I am trying to figure out if I should hunt down a mental debuff hex doll or not.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[TunaBoo]

yap. Have your inquis/brig/troubs/illus debuff it for you. <div></div>

[Kine]

<DIV>Thanks Tuna. There are no mental debuff hex dolls then?</DIV>

[TunaBoo]

I don't know offhand but I know 8 seconds to cast a doll isn't going to cut it if you are tank. <div></div>

<DIV>I haven't seen a mental debuff hex doll yet, but I have a 60 Tailor in guild that I could ask for you.  Also, if anything an Enchanter type will definitely help with those mental debuffs.  Doesn't hurt to give it a shot.</DIV>

Chaos hex dolls will debuff all magic types but as Tuna said aren't gonna help you much in a fight.... unless you pull with them (ouch). <div></div>

Yeah the cast timers on Hex dolls make them useless for the effects, only thing there worth is the stats. <p>Message Edited by -Aonein- on <span class=date_text>11-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:23 PM</span>

Nah hex dolls are fine for effects on raids.. just not by the tank casting. <div></div>

Has anyone noticed if increased Focus = less resist on taunts?

[TunaBoo]

Focus only helps us cast our horse in combat ;p <div></div>

<DIV>Taunts are mental based and can be resisted by mobs. However, CAs that taunt as well (damage+taunt) such as vengeful strike still act as regular CAs. They can't be resisted - just avoided.</DIV>

I can see taunts being mental base but for the love of all that is holy fix taunting. I killed 3 babies tonight because of this cocsucking issue.<div></div>
