One way to deal with these "broken" mechanics. Quoted from PEQ forms.

Ok, I see this everywhere and it is just not true mechanically, here's why:

So if you have a nuker in your group they can actually be on top of the hate list and you can keep agro and when you hit taunt you will actually instantly generate the amount of hate that will put you at the top of the list. Its not game changing, but its not something you should ignore or be unaware of. Again, its not something that you (99% of people playing on emu servers) should be unaware of. |
