Very true. So they have 1 mob that is pissed off at them instead of 4-5
other ones to beat on them.
Also, the taunt factor is so high after being mezzed like 30 times by your
friendly neighborhood bard, that they ignore the little newbie poking them
for like 5-6 pts and take swings at the big mean bard.
I've run through zones seeing newbies fighting something that must have
been yellow to them (like bandits in West Karanas) and will sit and just
"chain" the creature for them. The taunt from chain alone keeps the mob on
me while they whack away wildly.
