I can also agree with Wire there. Emet is a Tank Who Herds Like a Mud Farmer (i.e. just sit there, Plod around at golem speed, and wait for stuff to come into Mud Pots) and I'm rarely at the Aggro cap. The Rommy fight with the Spam Fuzzie, and the STF with Chuckles and the Laughing Boys are usually when I come close/over. Anyway. Unless I keep taunt up as much as possible, Emet is Sylia's pet rock in terms of Tanking.
I'm not quite sure where on the boards I remember reading it, but from what I remember, Taunt does not work where the highest mag taunter gets the aggro. It works like a aggro multiplier, so a scrapper with RttC/Invice/AOO is likely to out damage the Tanker, and with the added taunt from aforementioned arua they generate more aggro than the Tank. Think of it this way, this is almost certainly not how it works exactly, but it illustrates the purpose.

Quote:(No Tanker-Taunt)Given that the formula is much much more complicated, this is what I remember on the fourms about taunt mechanics. Someone with more guts for the boards and better Search-Fu can try and find the post, I think it might've been around i11 release time, as I remember a tank saying a WP Scrapper could pull aggro off him.
*Pookie da Blaster does 9 damage and no taunt, to generates 9 aggro;
*Emet the Tank does 3 damage and 4 taunt to generate 12 aggro;
*Sylia the Scraper does 5 damage and 3 taunt, to generate 15 aggro.
(With Tanker-Taunt)
*Pookie da Blaster does 9 damage and no taunt, to generates 9 aggro;
*Emet the Tank does 3 damage and 4+4 taunt to generate 24 aggro;
*Sylia the Scraper does 5 damage and 3 taunt, to generate 15 aggro.
