So, I was playing with a random group on my brute the other day, and, somehow or another, it came up that I wasn't using taunt. "Brute, taunt more, keep these enemies off of me". I don't have taunt. At this point, I haven't optimized my brutes defenses, and as such, I've just been focusing on dealing damage. I thought that was the main points of brutes, deal damage, while surviving.
Sure, I like to keep as much aggro on me as I can (helps build up rage) but controlling mobs isn't exactly my top priority. I told the person complaining all of this, and, shortly after, he angrily quits (commenting on my incompetence). So now I'm wondering... is my understanding of the brutes role totally wrong? Are they supposed to be tankers for villains? I honestly thought the point of villains were they were more self reliant >_>.
