Also what Incarnates are good on shield/elec?

[Erratic1]

Taunt is less necessary than situationally nice. Even without it you should have little trouble keeping aggro. 

 

 

[ZemX]

"Situationally nice" is a great way to describe it.  Tankers have Gauntlet (a.k.a. "punch-voke") that taunts everybody in a 10 foot radius around anything you hit.  And you've got the taunt aura that is constantly taunting everything in a 12ft radius around YOU.   So that's a lot of aggro control.  But mostly it isn't ranged aggro control. Sure, you can throw yourself around and taunt things by hitting them or touching them with the taunt aura, but if you're controlling a big pack of enemies and notice some stragglers are about to pounce on someone else in the team, it's really nice to just be able to kick out a "Get over here!" taunt at them without leaving the pocket.

 

The only things you might consider trading for it in your build are Lightning Clap and One with the Shield.  I'd drop Lightning Clap myself, but maybe I just don't appreciate it's uses.  Yeah, it knocks stuff down.  It's a big AoE so it's also another good way to taunt.  But you have no shortage of AoEs.  And you don't really need it's KD and stun effects.   Taunt needs no additional slotting either, so you have a slot to place somewhere else in this trade.

 

One with the Shield is probably more useful, but again maybe only rarely.  Once you're fully built, it's something you'll only break out if the shit really hits the fan.  And it really shouldn't in a good build.

Yeah. I have One with the Shield and Darkest Night for when things go south, and then I almost always forget about them when things go south because it happens so rarely.

[Hyperstrike]

Is Taunt "necessary"?

No.

I just view not taking it as throwing away an auto-hit combat soft-control power.

At that point, you may as well play a Brute or Scrapper.
