Taunt never was a terribly good skill. That being said, it seems to work about as well (more accurately: about as poorly) on P1999 as it did 'back in the day' on targets ranging from green to even. I play a Paladin.

It does appear to work on yellows now and then--though that may be a coincidence. At least, a yellow-con mob once turned to attack me when I 'taunted' it, despite my doing damage so laughable that I can't fathom it hitting me due to that. Someone may have rooted it without my noticing, though.

I do not support the ineffectiveness of this skill and never did, but if the goal is to replicate Live as closely as possible, then it appears to be a success in this case.
