Players get a glitchy indirect taunt from their own Praetorian Ghoul LT ally

[Kai Moon]

During Hatchet's arc (and possibly others), players receive a Ghoul LT ally with the power Marked for Death. Marked for Death grants an enemy target a temporary power, also called Marked for Death. This temporary power is a taunt aura.

 

Therefore the Ghoul LT indirectly taunts the allied player, but the taunt is glitchy. There's some kind of UI targeting problem, either not seeing which target is actually taunting the player, or perhaps seeing Taunted messages without actually being taunted.

 

Potential fixes could be to make an ally version of the Ghoul LT without Marked for Death, or make the temporary taunt aura power only taunt NPCs.
