Hi, ive always been curious what resist our taunts are and furthermore what the resists or other fighters taunts are.
ive heard everything from all taunts are divine based to all taunts are mental based to guardians are heat based ect.
some things would lead me to believe that some taunts are a differant resist, such as the SK single target taunt which has a disease damage component to it, even our group taunt lowers divine resist, does this in turn mean it is divine based?
also, a guardian friend of mine says when he gets a taunt resist it says 'you try to burn your target'.
does anyone actually know the answer to this question? thanks in advance.
They are divine in ACT
ACT shows ours to be divine and Sk's to be disease. That im 100% sure of, as far as the guards being heat. meh, not sure on that one b/c im about 90 % sure warriors show up as metal on ACT. However the way i understood was that ALL tuants are now aggression based other then resists so the fact they show up divine/disease etc means nothing.
Not 100% tho.
All taunts use agression in much the same way spells use disruption. If having mental (or in our case divine) debuff helps in much the same way lowering resists helps spells hit remains to be seen; this can be tested tho... if you're bored enough
Group with a higher peep and have them tank and hold a green mob firm (green to them but orange to you); taunt the mob 100 times without the debuff on and 100 times with; and count the resists. If there is no difference then it means debuff don't help.
Being on a pvp server, i had a friend be the victim of my taunts for a good 15 minutes.
All of our single target taunts are definately mental based, i tried one from each tier, i thought out level 1 taunt would be mental anyway but as it turns out, all of them 'try to confound %T with (taunt) and %T resists'
all of our group taunts however when resist will respond with 'try to smite %T with (group taunt) and %T resists'. this means that because of the divine resist debuff on the taunt, the taunt is then converted into a divine taunt which debuffs divine.
this means me to believe that any taunt which does not have some form of other effect on it means it is automatically mental based. this could mean that the SK single target taunt which has a disease dotcomponent on it could be and probably is disease based.
Those messages might just have never been changed/removed since they added the aggression skill in.
Aggression isnt a resist base, its a skill. fighters use aggression like wizards use disruption and wizards use disruption with both their cold based and their heat based spells.
there is no way to reduce a mobs resist to disruption or aggression, but there is a way to debuff mental, divine and disease resists...
