People are using Carboard Assassin in M+. That in mind, I have learned the recipe on my main, but have no idea how and when you would use this. I tried it out in the Maw, and the mobs attacking me just kept on attacking me, and seemed to completely ignore the waving dummy swaying back and forth. What am I missing?
As your a priest I’m going to bet you dropped it at range from the mobs, the aoe taunt is a single pulse not a continuous aura like final stands. This means any mob not in range at the time of droping will not be taunted.
It will not taunt any mob flaged as a raid boss this includes the jailers executioners.
It will not taunt 5 man bosses this includes most of the maw rares. This blizzard has changed a few times so it may work on bosses in keys now haven’t tryed as a pally hasent felt needed in 15s so haven’t used yet. While boosts on a slow class feels better.
The taunt can miss it is the “fail” for the cardboard tinker that all tinkers have, a rather minor one vs others like nitro that deals about 70 percent of your hp in damage.
It’s only really for trash in m plus good for eg necrotic weeks to buy time to reset stacks or high keys on Fort as a mini trents.
