On Brutes (and Tanks), the devs have made sure that something is a taunt aura, even if it provides no such benefit to Scrappers. For example, one of the defense toggles in SR taunts for Brutes and Tankers, as does Integration in Regen for Brutes.

Where they have a damage aura but no "natively" taunting toggle like Invincibility or AOO, the damage aura is usually the place this is put. Blazing Aura for Fiery Aura taunts for Tankers and Brutes, but not Scrappers.

Damage Auras are considered attacks and every Brute attack has a taunt in it so...

It's possible.

I wouldn't bet against it.

I was wondering what might happen if you answer one of the questions with a question. But that might implode the thread or something.

What taunt aura does Energy Aura have?

Entropic Aura. It's mez protection, a Recharge siphon, and taunt aura all in one. Which I think is kind of overkill for one power, but there you go.

Entropic Aura which grants the user status protection, as well as a scaling +rech buff from nearby foes as well as -rech to foes in the aura. Brutes, Tankers and Scrappers get it while Stalker get Entropy Shield, a self status protection toggle that also gives a static +rech bonus.

I'd have answered Samuel Tow's question, but I had to correct you:

Tankers don't get it.

Lol well you ruined the chain...perhaps some questions have larger taunt ranges which affect how many answers they get. But I'm sure they're all capped at 5 questions regardless

Another personal correction, Stalker's Entropy Aura has resistance to drains which is what was present in Dampening Field which they do not get.

Just to clarify the taunt aura tangent, what I said was that "not all brutes and scrappers have taunt auras that would factor into that equation." That's because not all Scrappers have taunt auras at all, and not all Brutes have a taunt aura that factors into a discussion of overriding gauntlet. Willpower's taunt aura has a pulse duration of one second. That's 13 times lower than the duration of gauntlet taunt, and that makes it unlikely to play a major role in aggro control relative to gauntlet.

I think the Scrapper version lacks the taunt component.

Nope, it has it. Any aura that doesn't do damage has taunt for Scrappers.
