Taunt. . . .

Is there a taunt suppression? Meaning specifically like mez suppression, it has never occured to me to look for it, but for reasons of certain idiocy I am now thinking of something revolving around it. If there is, what is the suppression? 15 secs?

No there isn't. I believe it's because of the fact that you can drop it instantly by breaking LOS, even for a split second.

Castle says there is supposed to be but I've never seen it in effect. Regarding the "break LoS to break taunt" thing... yeah, that usually works but there have been times where I'll break around a corner and it'll stick well after I've moved away from where the taunter is able to see me.

I've had that happen too. I've also had it break when I moved between a tree in RV and the taunter, so I suppose taunt is on the 'needs to be fixed for consistency' issues.

Yeah it's yet another bugged power. The taunt has definitely stayed on me long after I broke LoS. It's especially easy to notice on maps like the labs, where it's incredibly easy to break LoS just by going into another room.

Taunt is just a bugged power that bad teams rely on.

Dunno about that - even with it breaking properly with a LoS break, and witht the suppression that's supposed to be there, you can be effectively taking out one of the team's damage dealers (even if you couldn't keep someone perma-taunted, you can still watch for when they might be starting a spike, and throw a taunt in to make them lose target).

Of course, when both teams bring a taunter it basically becomes a 7v7 instead of an 8v8 unless one/both of the taunters are really good at breaking LoS to get taunts/webs on other targets.

Will the effects of Benumb from a cold diminish the effects of taunt?

How is it any different than cages that most every ladder team ran in the test ladder - two sonic cagers took out the dmg or healers for teams when cages lasted...

it's a different toon to do pretty much the same thing.

yup.

a blaster crying about getting taunted is no news.

From what I've seen, it's not flagged to. So nope.
