Taunt Sets

You redirect the anger of enemies around you, placating them. This causes them to break off their attacks. The momentary lack of awareness this causes also leads to reduced resistance to damage for a short time.

You must be at least level 14 and have trained any two other Concealment powers before you can train this power.

Recharge: Long.

Choose a player archetype to resolve effects. Enemy level 50.

Damage estimates are before enemy resistance and assume the attack hits. Mez duration is before target-specific mez resistance; rank settings show protection thresholds. Damage over time totals use listed duration, initial delay, tick interval, and per-tick chance.
