Weapon Mastery: Taunt

I was goofing off in Mids' and was surprised to see that a scrapper's APP shuriken and exploding shuriken both have a mag4 taunt value. Curious to see if it was some mistake I checked Rex Tomax, but confirmed it there as well. It is almost as if they are being treated as tanker attacks.

So seeing as Weapon Mastery is something of the underdog of scrapper APP's, I was curious what reasons/applications this could have. Does anyone use weapon mastery other than thematically? Or when push comes to shove, is the taunt just an oddity that ends up serving no real purpose beyond theory-crafting?


Edit: Nevermind, I've since realized other APP's have taunt too, just not pyre, which I was comparing it to. >_<;;
