Taunt

From The EQMac Wiki

If successful, this skill increases your aggro rating to one point more than whomever is highest on the NPC's current aggro list. (? see discussion) In other words, it makes NPCs attack you. Tanks commonly use this skill in group situations in order to save others.

Even though rangers and paladins have the basics of this skill automatically trained when they first start out, the taunt skill is bugged in the fact that it will never automatically raise on its own unless the ranger spends one point on it at a class trainer. Is this also true for other classes?

[edit] Using Taunt

To use this skill you will need to set up a button for it on the Combat Skills tab of the Actions window. Once you've done that, all you need to do is click on a creature to target it and press the Taunt button.
