Quick question. Is runeglass carnelian still bugged?
Last I remember this was supposedly fixed in Dec 22’. Had a group saying the taunt was still bugged 2/23’. Just want confirmation…
I don’t seem to notice an issue but taunts are weird in NW. Mobs keep attacking their prior targets even after a taunt is used. When mobs should stop what they doing and then start to focus the taunt user.
Not sure about the taunt runeglass tbh, I just use normal taunt gems when tanking. As far as I knew they were fixed a while back, as I read it in some patch notes… but I’ve not tested.
As for the delayed taunt feeling. I know what you mean and it can be annoying as you expect complete agro instantly when you taunt like in other games. The issue is New World doesn’t interrupt animations, e.g. when you drink a potion, if you are in the middle of an attack animation then your character will wait till after the attack animation before drinking (I wish it was instant still), it’s the same with taunts - if a mob is doing an attack animation when it’s taunted then it will finish its attack and then show that you have aggro rather than interrupt whatever it’s doing and turn around towards you.
It’s very important for a taunt effect to be instant. Not sure if the animations are still playing out is what is going on. Well, maybe not exactly…
For example: I’m tanking priest on Depths and she summons dogs. If they are running around and get taunted, they will continue to run for a second or so and sometimes come to me. In that window they have not come to me, I can either lose aggro to the healer or a dps since they are not yet in my attack range. If I can’t hit them I can’t apply more aggro.
This needs to change. The moment a taunt is used all affected mobs in range need to stop what they are doing, turn, then focus me for X time.
The dogs don’t do much damage to be honest, also the group can run to you if they have agro or they can just stay closer to you. When I tank I mostly just use my hammer with a taunt gem in it. Shockwave as a taunt is amazing and a short cool down with the perk that gives your heavy CD reduction.
I do agree though, I think that the taunt should also be an interrupt when it comes to mobs, that way you can get agro instantly.
