Taunt + Voids

I was in a mission in the Hollows with my Ice tank last night and we had a PB on the team. We approached a fairly large mob that had a Quantum [something-or-other] in it so I immediately approached it, with CE running (Not got Taunt yet), to ensure that it would focus on me rather than the PB but I'm 'sure' that it still attacked the PB (It was hectic in there so it's difficult to tell, but his general state of panic would suggest it did).

Out of curiosity, is Taunt overridden by the Kheldian presence in these situations or should I be able to control them with my aura / Taunt? Just curious, because I could hold aggro on pretty much all else without even bothering to attack (CE is incredible at aggroing mobs, it seems... shame I can't quite survive them yet! ).

Note: Wasn't sure whether to post here or on the Tankers forum, but I figured Khelds would be more sensitive to the subject so would perhaps be more likely to know. Certainly when I level my WS up this'd be useful to know. ^_^

Ive seen a quantum/void blat a kheld while being taunted many a time, so its not just you

Yes, i'm playing now a WS and teaming with tankers, they taunt them but the voids attack me after few seconds. Its like they ignore other aggro but kheldians

I think they just use some crazy aggro generation, where they think the kheld is doing a LOT of damage to them.

A couple of taunts from a tank SHOULD override it.

A taunt or punchvoke from a tank will overide any amount of damage aggro for it's duration, so if the voids are going after kelidians anyway they must have some sort of punchvoke-voids on all thier attacks, or there is some other effect that causes voids to automatically attack any keldians in range. In either case no amount of tank-taunt will override the effect.


I really should do something about this signature.

Seen that myself, approched a mob, taunted the void started pummeling him, Chilling Embrace running but after a bit he turned and blasted the Kheld and it's not the first time.

It happened only with Voids tho, the quantums are less likely to do that but i can't be sure they never did it.

yup, havent seen it with quantums either, but voids tend to rank the kheld a bigger threat than tanks. Tanker tries to taunt void but void can only think bout blasting that kheld to pieces.

Its just a fact of life for Kheldians that Voids and Quantums hate us! Killing Kheldians if their only purpose in life!
