Taunt Helper assists in micromanaging your taunt list so you can put more focus on tanking, buffing and staying alive.
- uses colors and blinking to provide an intuitive taunt status
- taunts are displayed showing when they need to be refreshed
- filtering taunt list displays only priority mobs
- removes dead mobs from your taunt list
- removes mobs based on content specific mechanics
- loose mob detection is a best effort system for locating untaunted priority mobs
- visual taunt expiration blink warnings for recent mobs for which taunt was lost
- visual over-taunted indication (for update 41: taunt counter)
- visual stolen taunt indication
- customizable UI
- detects taunts in crafted skills (for update 42: Gold Road)


New Feature for Update 41:
For update 41, ZoS has added Taunt Counters. Normally a mob will have either 0 stack of Taunt Counter (no taunt), or 1 stack (taunted). However, in situations where multiple players have taunt, it is possible to go above 1 stack when trading taunt back and forth. Once reaching 5 stacks the mob becomes immune to further applications of taunt.
Using these settings you can customize how that information will be displayed to you in Taunt Helper.


Situation 1:
Aging taunt (yellow)
Lost taunt (red)
Lost taunt (red)
Stolen Taunt (blue) 13 seconds of taunt remaining
Stolen Taunt (blue) current target (yellow outline)
Loose mob detected (silver)


Situation 2:
Late taunt (red) current target (yellow outline)
Recent Taunt (green)
Loose mob detected (silver)
Loose mob detected (silver)
Loose mob detected (silver)


Situation 3:
Recent taunt (yellow)
Only priority mobs appear in taunt list
Priority mobs that die with taunt are removed from list


Situation 4:
Recent taunt (green) over taunted (purple outline)

Trivia: There are bosses that will go taunt immune (over taunted) as part of their mechanic, the purple outline will indicate this - this is handy to determine when to refresh taunt on such bosses.
Direfrost Keep - Drodda of Icereach
Arx Corinium - Sellistrix the Lamia Queen
Wayrest Sewers I - Investigator Garron

DPS and Healers:
Taunt Helper is a valuable tool for non-tanks as it provides situational awareness of taunt (or more specifically lack of taunt) status. For example, you can get a warning when taunts drop off, or a loose boss/mob is detected.

Highly customizable interface




Mechanic Micromanagement:
There are places in the game where the taunted mobs "go away" for a time typically as part of the encounter mechanic. Typically the tank recognizes this and ignores the mob on the taunt list and allows the taunt to expire.

How nice would it be if for those encounters Taunt Helper would detect such events and automatically remove the taunt from the bar similar to what is done when the mob dies?

The challenge with this is each encounter needs to be treated as a special case, the following special cases have been added for your tanking enjoyment:

• Moonhunter Keep - Zel and Ary

• Sunspire - Lokkestiiz, Yolnahkriin and Nahviintaas

• Dreadsail Reef - Lylanar and Turlassil

• Imperial City Prison - Lord Warden Dusk

• Icereach - Sisters Maefyn, Hiti, Bani, and Gohlla

• Coral Aerie - Maligalig, and Sarydil

• Kyne's Aegis - Lord Falgravn

• Dreadsail Reef - Lylanar and Turlassil

• Scalecaller Peak - Zaan the Scalecaller

• SWR - Captain Numirril and Foreman Bradiggan

• DC - Magma Incarnate

• HoF - Assembly General

• KA - Lord Falgravn

• BS - Kovan Giryon

• SG - Arkasis the Mad Alchemist

• KA - Lord Falgravn

• BV - Darkshard and The Blind

• DoM - Symphony of Blades

• CT - Lady Thorn
