<DIV>Hey all, admittlingly I dont play beta or test, and have no idea how things are going there besides what I have heard. Anyways I saw that from the last updates that taunts can now be resisted... Well I could go over the hill with it and rant about it "thats sucks, it pisses me off. etc etc." but instead I just want to know how this is looking for those of you who have experienced it...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now from my thoery, this could make the game slightly more challangeing considering things like rescue , harm touch line, and Graven Embrace line should be more useful.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but from another point of view it could really seem stupid to wipe on your first encounter because you pulled with a ranged weapon or spell, then couldnt gain aggro the first few seconds of the fight (due to resist) and the healer got clobbered 3 seconds into the fight.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>and once agian from another point of view this could sift out all the good tanks who pay attention and will tuant the right mobs on the larger encounters due to some of them resisting the aoe taunts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>on the other hand it can be hard to tuant off some of the bigger mobs (nightbloods) because you simple cant get around them all when they are in a group of 4 or 5</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>so what is it like on beta guys??</DIV>

I don't remember my taunt being resisted, even off mobs that were resisting my lifetap 3/4 times. That doesn't mean they haven't but i didn't notice it in a good 4 hours of killing. I use the group taunt for the debuff now that most of our spells are disease based (like DW). <div></div>

<P>oh yeah, and while on that subject, I would sometimes use the group debuff shout (decrey of decay??) to finish off my ho's instead of deasise cloud or insidious whisper cause I figured it would make my next few deasiease attacks a little more powerful, however on live I really didnt see much (if any) difference.</P> <P>now that spells are more ,,, well, effecient/meaningful?? is it actually worth it to use our aoe taunt debuff??</P>

After i made that last post they updated beta so taunts resist less often so i guess they can be resisted. Considering i haven't ntoiced that they got resisted (were resisted less than our other debuffs and spells), making them resist less is good. <div></div>

too late to get in beta. But awhile ago they had a sign up period and they picked people from there. Beta ends too soon for them to accept new apps. <div></div>

<div></div>I think they get resisted less if they are adept 3 or master.<hr>This could be the case i am using Insidious Whisper @ adept3 and Blasphemy @ Master 1.<div></div>
