"You invised the tanker you fool"
[ QUOTE ]
'Vokes (that also Taunt) are by proximity, visibility, power activation etc.
The Taunt power freezes agro, apart from oddities like Greater/Lesser Devoured; but Invince/CE etc. 'vokes; so you can take a creature that has been taunted once it's outside of the Taunt duration; but not whilst it's in the Taunt duration.

Not really. I think it's your use of the word 'voke that makes it confusing. Punchvoke (gauntlet) is just a short duration taunt and works in exactly the same way. What you are referring to has been called "Hate" on the US forums and is apparently a combination of Threat Rating, Damage, Healing and other factors. I don't know if this quietly stacks in the background whilst Taunt (either from the Taunt power or Gauntlet) is in effect or starts fresh when a taunt has worn off. The taunt from any gauntlet power will stack with Taunt itself or any other gauntlet taunt - not seperate from it. Taunt (from Gauntlet or Taunt) can not be overridden except by another tank.

Me neither, you all answered my question pages ago
On the whole "tanking herding" issue, as a squishy I see the benefit of it totally. As a Fire/Rad controller it just makes things silly-easy when you can RI > Flashfire them is a big heap.
But as a player I find it can get a bit boring. Nowadays I much prefer to do the Spawn-by-spawn approach. In fact letting the crazy scrapper get himself into trouble and then see if you can haul their [censored] back out of it is lots more fun
I'm English, Hate's an American term

i'm glad i wasnt the only one confused in what was actually meant all this time the wording can throw ya.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
yeah there is no stopping something in its action time, action time if first is first and duration gains control till after even though the taunt is there, a bit like if someone has put a hold on me just before i turn unyielding off (not that i would) but after its off i get held. I see what you mean now, i really didnt understand what you were getting at with the previous posts especially as normally i like to consolidate aggro before anyone attacks (i really really despise with a complete utter vengeance anyone pulling for me) in which case there is little or no chance of people getting hit unless they move to me and get affected by cones or are in a position to be affected by pbaoes and aoes.
With the auras you are giving a good reason to tankers having taunt durations so that taunt pulses overlap the previous taunt duration most tankers i think fail to do that in doing that is proper consolidation achieved because i know foes can be pulled from a tankers aura especially with a series of low action time attacks.
