At What Level Has Taunt Been Available?


Hopeling

 

Posted

Back In The Day, I rolled an Inv/SS Tank, but never got into it. I thought I would see if I could work up some interest so I pulled him out and dusted him off. He was very nearly at lvl 8, so I ran a radio mission, he dinged and off to the trainer we went.

I thought I might as well do this right, so I fired up Mids and took a look at my options. Then I noticed that Mids said Taunt was not available until lvl 10, but I already had Taunt! And since I had yet to pick a power for lvl 8, that would mean I had taken Taunt at no later than lvl 6.

Did something change as to when Taunt became available, is Mids mistaken or did I impossibly take Taunt at lvl 6?


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

For Tankers secondary powersets, their tier 3 power (selectable at level 4) was Taunt, until a change that moved it to Tier 4 (level 10) instead. It may have been Issue 5 that the change happened.

The latest version of Mids is 1.954. Are you using a much older version?

It also depends on your power set. For example: Taunt is available for the tanker power set Axe mastery at level 10 but for Ice melee it's available at level 4.

Is it possible you had the wrong build/power sets loaded in Mids?

Thanks, Zortel. When I said I rolled him Back In The Day, it would have been around the last of i3 or during i4, so that makes sense.

I suppose if I respecced him, I could not get Taunt now!

Nope, it's just an ooooold character, Xandra (sp?) It is one of the few times they changed power orders once something made it live; to alleviate soloing/damage issues, the Tanker Tier4 four power (formerly Taunt) was swapped with an attack to help with damage chains.

I have a character with the word Xandra in it, but no idea what you mean by sp. I didn't realize the OP's character was that old lol.

(sp?) is short for (spelling?), as in "did I spell that right?"


 

Posted

(sp?) indicates that the person typing it is unsure of the SPelling of the word.

It was issue 7 iirc (maybe 8, but it was after I started playing and I started a month before i6 and I know it wasn't i6). Their rational behind it was to give Tankers a fuller attack chain earlier on.
