    PVE Taunt

    I'm not sure if this has already been suggested elsewhere but just throwing my quick 10 cents in.

    I would like to see the ability for those in the "tank" role to have a taunt ability that can generate and hold threat on NPCs.

    I tank usually for my group and at times I find it hard to generate threat and hold threat for my team. I think having the ability to taunt would be great as in the role of a tank i feel the shortcoming of not being able to hold threat.

    The taunt is technically the shield. It's just that the threat on shields is extremely low, or probably doesn't exist. The decoy has more threat generation than the shield.

    Agreed.
    Something like the banshee pulse for example, ... you scream (pulse) at them and they shoot at you for some time.

    Agreed, perhaps if they could add threat generation when you deploy your shield, something like that would work.

    Agreed. It is something I see players wanting to return from Division 1.

    I agree. They need to give high armor or shield wearers increased threat.

    Until the new you 10 the pure tank build did not proliferate because if the idea was to attract all the enemy fire and the rest of the team to be able to shoot at will, the altered state builds that block, blindness, banshee, foam are more effective

    I think, talents like Vanguard should provide some sort of taunt.

    Perhaps, there should be another one, on a backpack, that will draw the aattetion towards you, lowering your movement speed, but increasing threat generation and decreasing the damage to your teammates in close proximity to you. Would be effective with Striker shield.

    I think a pistol talent like:

    Name: Hey, look at me!

    Description: shoot an enemy five times draw his attention towards you for xx seconds. Shoot five diferent enemies draw their attention towards you for xx seconds.
    cooldown: xx seconds


    Would be awesome in my opinion. It could make tanking more fun than just "press a button to generates threat"
