Taunt

Warrior skill · Command line · tier 4

Beta 0.7.2

Draws the fight to himself, and whoever accepts takes harder hits.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 10 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Taunt scales with Curse. Its value at each rank is 324 + 92 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	416	508	600	692	784	876	968	1,060	1,152	1,244
Curse	+4.16%	+5.08%	+6%	+6.92%	+7.84%	+8.76%	+9.68%	+10.6%	+11.52%	+12.44%

Curse is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Curse = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Command skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

Mastery and synergies

Line mastery: every point in the other Command skills makes Taunt 1% stronger, up to +40% with all of them at rank 10. Its own points do the same for the rest of the line.

Taunt has no synergies: no skill boosts it and it boosts no other skill.
