Xaretic.2318 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The reason I ask is the Rev has a force taunt and the Mesmer does not seem to have one. Since there is no real agro except some bosses that key on toughness. Plus the Mesmer does not seem to have as hi as toughness as the Rev, so it losses out there as well.

Artemis Thuras.8795 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 for raids, the "tank" is either determined by toughness, or by some other fixate mechanic that can affect anyone.The main reason for choosing chrono for tank, is because of the blocks/invulns/evades it has access too.Also commander gear, which is often used for its concentration ( boon duration) also has toughness. So it simply made sense to use chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taunt deals Defiance Bar damage at a rate of 75 per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will damage it's defiance bar, but it will ignore the actual effect. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aggro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
