Binding Oath still not WAI

in Bug Reports (PC)
Binding Oath (prot Pally) is still not working as intended, or has the wrong tooltip since launch. It states that nearby targets are forced to attack the player during the time BO is active, however this is not the case.
This is causing the Pally to lack a bit in aggro management, which can be worked around, but it is a shame to not have this active when it should work.

Defender Companions or Marks are taking away aggro, which is a bit silly in my opinion. This can be fixed ofc. by changing how marks work (give them taunt or give them buff, but not at the same time) and make sure the defender companions are being pulverised and thrown into outer space, or something like that.

Might still be easier, to just fix BO. Saves some rocket fuel.

    I'm pretty sure this is how everything that says "forces target to attack you" works. A mob can only be forced to attack one guy at a time, so the most recent guy to force his hand gets the beating.

    #1 I totally agree, if it worked. However BO does not force the target to attack you, which is a shame. Fix it or change the tooltip.

    #2 If people taunt for whatever reason and they cant handle the aggro & dmg, its their own fault when they die and I dont mind letting them know, however I still prefer it to be split up and not give taunt a buff. People will be 'forced' to buff and the taunt is just 'bonus'.

    How have you tested that it doesn't force them to attack you? Multiple classes, and many popular companions, have their own taunts, which will overwrite your own. So you might simply be using the power and having it overwritten before the mob can even attack. I've played an OP, and I know I've never really seen it pull mobs into attack me, but that's because I'm playing him in WoD demon HE's, so there are tons of taunts going on.

    It doesn't, never has afaik, this was brought up even before and after the OP and Haste nerf, and it's not really that hard to test it, if you only use BO while being in a group doing anything you'll see how much the mobs are "forced to attack you", most of the time they won't even look at you, lol.

    Let me guess you think Daring Shout is out aggroing you?

    No I think or the tooltip from BO is wrong, or the skill does not do what it supposed to do.

    I was gonna say that no one was asking for changes for the GWF, but I realized now that I payed attention, lol.

    This isn't a problem of any other class or companion, honestly, this problem is just Binding Oath not doing what its supposed to do, that's what I meant, it never has and at this point I guess it would be nice the extra agro from it, but it isn't a necessity. Also, some OPs don't even use it for PvE atm and hold enemies attention just fine.

    Yup, noticed the lack of forced aggro too. Summoned wayward wiz, ditched all threat generators i could, auras & such, and went out solo. When the trash passed me by for my way wiz I popped bo. Nada. No extra aggro at all.
