Taunts[]

Any active power cast by a Tank will Taunt opponents in a defined area.
Some powers Taunt in an area around the caster while other powers Taunt in an area around a target.
Most active powers can Taunt up to 8 opponents within the effect area.
Each Tank power set has a single target Taunt that will override a normal Tank Taunt.
A Taunt will raise the Tank to the top of an opponent's Threat table for twelve seconds and can not be normally overwritten. Taunts can not be renewed until ten seconds after the initial Taunt.
Active Iconic and Movement tree powers taunt opponents just as power tree powers.
Note that Boss level opponents have scripted attacks that target an opponent based on certain criteria during which any Taunt will be temporarily ineffective until the scripted attack is completed.

Single Target Taunts[]

A single target taunt can be useful to split a boss from a group of opponents when running two Tanks.
