stealth and taunt

[presto2112]

i just noticed that stealth has this in Details Info

 -100.00%% threat level on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

 

 

Does this affect my taunt/gauntlet ability?

Stealth suppresses in combat, so I suspect that this effect also suppresses the moment you try to taunt or hit, and thus wouldn't affect it. I could be wrong, though, and have no stealth Tankers to test with. Hopefully someone who knows for sure can chime in.

[Psyonico]

This made me really curious.  Fortunately, I happen to have a tank with Stealth, so I was able to test it out.

 

Threat Level for a tank at level 50 is +4.0

Stealth grants -1.0 threat, meaning base 3.0 for tanks

 

Using any attack (including Taunt) suppresses the -1.0 threat, so it jumps back up to the base 4.0.

[Wavicle]

It suppresses when you attack, so as long as you don't just stand there doing nothing it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Tanks should feel free to take and use Stealth (handy for its additional defense bonus that can be stacked with Weave, Combat Jumping, etc).
