Taunt in Diablo 3 is almost identical to the taunt in Diablo 2, having the same functions. However, the Diablo 3 Taunt does not lower the armor of enemies affected. This skill is a must for Barbarians who wish to tank better, since the Juggernaut tree is all about taking damage.
==Skill Design==
Taunt is a warcry, and as such, is made to help you and your allies. The Debuff will help Barbarians with high damaging monsters, making them less of a threat or to catch pesky monsters like the [[Fallen]], if no Overseer is present. Also, It can be used to help allies if they are attacked by monsters which they cannot handle and will soon die. It is Unknown if it will affect bosses, will it cause them to switch targets? or will it just lower the damage? Speculate at your own risk.

* [[Revenge]]: Running into a big group of enemies and using Taunt will make them weaker and force them to attack you, followed by Revenge which will cause damage to them all and heal you for a good amount.

* None known.

''Taunt'' was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was re-iterated, judging from the latest demo. The old Taunt would only force enemies to attack you, without the damage debuff, making the usefulness of this skill questionable.
