Taunts the target to attack you, but has no effect if the target is already attacking you.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Taunt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 114, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 11.

What it does

Taunt is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
