So the only scrapper secondaries that have a real taunt aura are Shield/Rad/Bio/WP/Inv? I don't think Ice has one so with Icicles mobs will still be running away, perhaps slowly with chilling embrace, but still be running away. I am curious because I am making Street Justice scrapper that keeps mobs packed tight to get the most out of its limited AOEs.

I love these changes, haven't played a tank much since coming back as once you get to higher levels I felt under powered compared to everyone else and it wasn't fun. When I play, I want to take the "alpha" and smile when doing it and then dish out as much AOE/taunt so scumbags keep trying to wipe that smile off my face. Which I think is what these changes will help do. Call it a form of "control" but I have no interest in playing a melee hybrid controller/debuffer like some have suggested. Would not miss bruising in the slightest with these changes. No AT is really required in the game (which is one of the many reasons I love it) so why not make it more fun and to me more AOE and damage is definitely fun! If the damage is to close to Brute levels then tweak it down but tanks would have niche in the melee world as masters of taunting and the most AOE targets.

I searched and haven't seen this discussed before. Is there a reason Irradiated Ground doesn't take Brute ATOs? Or is it a bug?
