Increasing hate from taunts

[Randymarsh9]

Is there a way to make taunting generate more aggro? I checked in aggro.cpp and made other source files but I honestly couldn't make any sense of what I'd change.

void Mob::Taunt(NPC* who, bool always_succeed, float chance_bonus) {
//Blah blah
    if (tauntchance > MakeRandomFloat(0, 1)) {
        if (hate_top && hate_top != this) {
            newhate = (who->GetNPCHate(hate_top) - who->GetNPCHate(this)) + 1;

Make the 1 a bigger number.

Pretty much, Taunt has always been a "If taunt succeeds, Make me #1 on hatelist" which is basically just whoever is highest hate + 1. Which is why it was actually insanely unreliable.

Thanks for the replies. I'm just trying to find a way to increase aggro for tanks, because a lot of people on my server are struggling to keep aggro on warriors even with weapons with hate procs. I will probably try out lerxt's suggestion when I get a chance.

Give your warriors clicky weapons with +agro modifiers (like the "Voice of" spells for Shadowknights). You can make a few custom ones just for warriors. Doesn't help with "snap" agro, but warriors were never meant for that anyways.

Well, a lot of people use warrior bots too, and they can't use clickies

Make it an aug with a combat proc, they'll use those! <3 Last World's Ripe for the Kill RK III aug...RIP

Or may one for bot owners to cast on warrior bots?

I mean there's literally a thousand ways to handle it
