Taunt

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion
1

I am running a ret/tank build and was wondering if there is a way to taunt or grab agro short of out dpsing in a group?

2

There are skills that specifically say they taunt, otherwise use either a debuff (great way to hold aggro, that really pisses off the monsters) or something that hits frequently. More hits = more anger

3

Maybe I am just blind but I do not see taunts in my trees. I am a Warder, someone told me to get an item with Bloody Pox cause it has a taunt mechanic, but I do not see taunt on the description of that either.

Oh I see warcry, does that work on bosses by chance?

Aggro is very confusing. You could apply all the RR you want in a multiplayer session and an end game boss will focus on the guy dealing damage. But the moment you throw one BWC the boss comes after you like you’re their sworn enemy
Not two or three but one BWC and all the aggro is yours

6

So is there a most reliable course of action for me to take? Or is there not concrete way to grab agro reliably?

Warcry, Black water cocktail and Hellhound summon. Just pick your poison

8

War Cry taunts enemies, lol. How could you miss that?

Warcry, transmuted blade arc, marcovian’s stratagem proc.
