link Rumours of The venerable red dragon hatchling are starting to spread. (Liberty) was the announcement on Discord. I logged into Liberty to find that Flpsilva, Cheeseranger and Axeshredder were kiting the Hatchling.     over land and over the water. It was a dance around and over the bridges.   to the main entrance trap  Dragon was having none of it and flew off over the bay again.   Long into the night the battle went on. Finally they managed to take him into the trap using the back mine. Congratulations guys. Host:- Elfin Date:- 11th February. 2024 Time:- 8pm UTC. Location:- Rainbow Meadows. andistyr.github.io/wu-map/14816/#rainbow-meadows-1312Tank:- Flpsilva Off tanks:- Cheeseranger and Axeshredder. Main Healer:- Druid Bern. There will be tp to the event. It will open 1/2 hour before the event start time. /events will show tp opening time. /eventteleport will bring up window to tp. Lootsheet:- lootsheet
Unique fights are a lot of fun. New Players to the long time players. All are welcome. The main healer keeps us alive - back out of the fight if you are hurt to heal. If you do die just use /eventteleport to return. No wagons or corpse eating pets in the fight arena. No taunting the unique unless you are the tank or offtank. It is the tank/off tanks role to keep the dragon aggression. Thankyou. Rifts are a great place to taunt without affecting others.

Can I also be added as an offtank? I want to taunt all willy-nilly. Gonna just point out that this seems like one of those times where people are getting uppity about dumb nonsense that doesn't actually matter. Anyone who wants agro or taunting skill should be able to taunt.

Generally we need one tank (usually the player who traps the dragon) and an off tank. Since both Cheeseranger and Axeshredder trapped the dragon it seemed fair to accept them both. |

(edit) *snip*
I shall skip this event in protest against this first glimmer of unique privatization. I've caught and tanked plenty of uniques, encouraged newbies to join for the fun of it, "fun of it" being key words.
Taunting's a pain to level solo and slayings are a good opportunity to do so.
Having the catchers make up new rules on the go is a bad precedent. I personally HATE wasting time on healing the same unique to full health 10 times in a fight, HORRIBLE wear and tear on the armor. Maybe I should ban healing the next unique I catch? Maybe I shouldn't because it goes against the spirit of having an event that's fun the the majority? Maybe it's Maybelline.

I am unsure where the angst re taunting is coming from. No player set the rules.
I watched the chaos caused to the tanks from free for all taunting in recent unique fights.
It is out of respect for the tank roles that this is asked.
Tanking is a privilege, I thank everyone who has tanked and will tank in the unique fights for stepping up, pre fight, to volunteer for the role.
To tank effectively fs70 is needed as well as decent shield skill plus reasonable taunt skill. Most tanks work hard to achieve this giving them the ability to keep the uniques aggro and have it spinning between them.
If you are serious about wanting to taunt use the rift fights where other players will appreciate it. Maybe we can set up a hunting event where players go out in pairs and train up. I would happily support you if you hosted such an event.

I think the issue stems from the fact that over the last hundred or more unique fights, the issue of taunting has never been brought up previously, save for very recently. Unique fights are special events where players taunt, and others heal to postpone the slayings in order to make them exciting, as opposed to lasting 2-3 minutes and being done. Having taunting at unique events provides skill gains for dozens of taunt attempts for as many players as feel they are able to handle taunting in order to raise their skills.
Rifts, on the other hand are certainly options, as well as pairing up with other players to taunt back and forth, however, players generally are unable to taunt for longer than 1-3 per mob, as they die too quickly for it to matter. Even the warmasters die within 1-2 minutes, which is only 6-7 taunting attempts, unless they are healed by other players, which has never happened in a single rift that i'm aware of.
All-in-all, with a player base where dozens upon dozens of players have the skills to be able to taunt uniques, and there is no foreseeable downside to free skills prolonged over a 10-15 minute period, forbidding taunting at unique events seems to be a rather new and restricting rule. This also means that the very players who heal the unique to prolong the events are raising multiple skills along with taunting if they so choose until the unique is resistant to heals. Without the very niche skill gain, they lose the purpose of healing, thus making events shorter, and less fun.
I do, however, agree that tank roles should be respected, but with how we have evolved, they have become less necessary, aside from luring the dragon out of its hiding hole, and preparing it for players to fight.
My only suggestion would be to consult with the tanks on this, and have them choose if it matters to them that other players taunt or not. However, it shouldn't, and doesn't appear to affect the slayings as a whole substantially. Just my 2-cents on this, and likely to clarify the opinions that several players have voiced a bit more clearly, and on a factual basis.
