Tanking "nerf"...

[Phidelis]

also I think ping ponging a boss back and forth would be considered an exploit more than the work of a skilled raiding guild. >

MD and ToT don't count as taunts I don't think, but aside from that I think this is more to discourage Army of the Dead, and if not it's definitely a big nerf to the skill since using it will possibly take away the tanks ability to taunt due to dr. just a thought :P

Army of the Dead doesn't work against bosses, so not sure how it would be a nerf for as little time as they're up. For trash mobs they're great, but with bosses being immune to their taunt I would hope this didn't count towards the diminishing return...

Some times it is funny with army of the dead.

This one DK used it on the last boss in H.VH. The boss was acting like she had spasms.

Where was this blue post anyways?

I'm not sure this will have major implications on threat management on "normal" boss attempts. This change was really put in just to prevent a situation where tanks would not take damage because the boss could never reach them before being taunted away. We aren't changing our design of letting most mobs be tauntable. It shouldn't affect the Razuvious fight. The diminishing returns only lasts 15 seconds (not the whole fight) and that encounter is timed more for 30 second taunts. Secondly, we can just make the Understudy taunts not diminish.
