Dark Armor/Dark Melee with no Taunt

I've heard DA is one of the best taunt aura Tankers.
Is it good enough to not "need" Taunt?

Hmm, in my opinion Ice has the best Aura taunt...

I've never heard someone say DA holds that title.

Either way, any tank (save WP) can go without taunt, it's just a nice power to have sometimes.

DA has three potential Taunt Auras. Ice Armor has two. However, most people playing Dark Armor Tankers only take one of the two status-effect auras (either Cloak of Fear or Oppressive Gloom). As such, in practice, it tends to drop back down to Ice Armor levels of aggro.

Even with those, though, and with the -range on Taunt, it can be a great tool to have. Will you need it? No, probably not. Might it be nice to have anyways? Yes, probably so.

That pretty much covers it. Get taunt if you feel you need the tool. Don't if you have success without it.

I put Taunt in my build at level 49...

Just means you need to be on top of things before that.
