I fell in love with the idea of the skill creating micro-singularities that sucked the monster corpses out of existence

Basically, you're telling us this skill sucks.

Please please PLEASE, allow at least the Taunt of the Warcries to work on unique enemies.

Being able to build a character that does very little damage but instead tanks a lot of damage would be extremely beneficial to PoE as a whole, adding an entire new build style to focus around damage avoidance for the party via taunts and defense, with very little in way of attack.

You would allow actual Tanks as the general RPG meta considers them, to exist in PoE.

As it is now, building to be very tanky is good, but there's really no way to force an enemy to pay attention to you, and that often ends up causing your friends, who play glass cannons, to get sent to SC prematurely.

It'll be a great way to inspire teamwork amongst players.

I couldn't agree more on that last sentence.

What is the reasoning behind "uniques can't be taunted" ? Would it be OP ? Trash mobs / blue / rare die too fast so I only see the taunt being useful with uniques (with the current meta).

Or maybe you want us to run crazy maps in HC ? I would be happy to see a change in the meta in that direction, with a buff to rewards in dangerous maps. Then taunt could be useful with rare mobs that enchant trash mobs next to him, or even blue packs of devourers with powerful crit (sic).

At the moment, there is too much of that crap "do easy maps, and do it fast". Maybe it is time to slow down the game, so that we can have the time to use secondary skills like warcry and enjoy killing things with a strategy ?

Gratz on the art though, abyssal cry looks awesome :)

The skill mechanics seem to be nice and they just look great! Please, Keep up the work on the taunt mechanics! I really hope that it will find its way into the game. Would be very nice to form groups with tanky characters that can attract enemys while shielding the mages and archers 8-)

One Question to the Developers:
Can your Engine turn monsters and/or players temporary into 'ghosts' that can walk through other models? I'm thinking of the mechanic used in raging skulls which are not attacked by monsters and can't affect monsters movement. Maybe the taunt mechanic can turn monsters or players into something similar, letting monsters walk though characters that are blocking their way. With such a mechanic the monsters in Jasons example would walk through the character blocking the doorway and could attack the one who was taunting them.
