Against All Odds not accepting taunt set IOs

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's as intended but I noticed that Against All Odds has taunt properties and can accept taunnt enhancements, but it does not have the option to accept taunt set IOs.

I did some searching but couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone know anything about this?

That is true of quite a few of the taunt aura powers. I seem to recall there was a specific reason why it was done, but I can't tell you what it was. Some taunt auras will still take taunt sets, but most of them won't.

IIRC, it was because using the procs in the taunt sets would affect the player--instead of, in addition to? I don't recall--any foes. For some reason, Invincibility in Invulnerability is the exception and does take taunt sets, but none of TPTB has ever explained why that was so.

It was because the procs were affecting the player and not the enemies. They chose to remove taunt sets from taunt auras rather than spend the time and money to fix the problem. As far as I know, allowing taunt sets in invincibility is still a bug, but such a minor one they haven't fixed it yet.

I see. This is an issue caused by taunt auras that affect the OWNER. That would explain why (last time I checked) the auras in the ice armor set DID accept taunt sets. Those auras affect enemies only.

But Invinc affects the player only, and not enemies. And it's one of the taunt auras that also accepts taunt sets.

EDIT: Maybe it makes a difference if the aura has a damage component, like Death Shroud, Blazing Aura or Mudpots. Neither Invinc nor Chilling Embrace does damage.

Well, the previous poster did say that Invincibility accepting taunt sets seems to be a bug. There are probably other variables here, like the fact that Invincibility and Against All Odds (as well as the Willpower one) base their effects on number of targets in proximity.

There's a lot of variety under the general category of 'taunt auras'.

I current have the +Psi mocking beratement IO proc along with four other Mocking Beratement IOs in Rise to The Challenge. I had them in before they removed the ability to use them in taunt auras, but I've never noticed it going off and hurting my player. I HAVE noticed it causig psi damage to NPCs around me though, every so often.
