TauntMaster News

Welcome to TauntMaster - the place for World of Warcraft tanks.

If you find TauntMaster useful, please check out the support page!

June 29: Simple boss strategies added. Unlike many online strategies which are pages long, these boss strats are easy to remember and repeat but still contain the essential elements of the fight. On another note, beta testing for v4 is underway! I hope to have it released within a couple of weeks...

June 13: The TauntMaster addon has been updated to add a further degree of customization.  Thanks to the result of the poll, a player's button is now dimmed if their target is out of range.  The player can set the opacity level.  The player can also set the percentage at which "MANA!" is displayed.

June 3:  Welcome to the new and improved site!  The new Ruby Sanctum gear has been added and the TauntMaster addon has been updated.  Post any bugs (site or addon) in the forum.

May 6:  I need your input.  Check out the Taunt Cooldowns thread in the forum and give me your opinion.

April 21:  TM now sorts the unit frames according to group!  Download the latest version (3.1.1)

March 16:  The TauntMaster addon has been updated.  A player's frame will now have a blue border if they are a tank, a green border if their target is friendly, or will have "MANA!" over it if they are very low on mana.  Any of these options can be deselected from the display options menu.  The addon will also correctly save whether you have chosen to hide the addon.  Enjoy!

I have occasionally encountered a bug in which the a warrior's frame may have a blue border and am working to resolve this issue - it does not affect the gameplay of the addon though.

February 20: The TauntMaster addon has been updated.  It now has an auto-hide feature that can be selected to automatically hide the addon when not in a group.  I have also added the slash commands /tm show and /tm hide.  

February 11: I have added a To-Do list for the TauntMaster addon so you can see what I have in store. Check it out under the TauntMaster General thread in the forum. Or add your own suggestions in the Suggestions Thread.

February 8: Updated the ICC & Weapons pages to include the tanking items that drop off The Lich King.

February 1:  Version 3 has been released.  You can now set your own spell bindings  in the new customization menu!  Also take note that a couple of the default spell bindings have changed.  Check out the addon instructions for more information.  Please report any bugs in the forum.

January 31:  Version 3 of TauntMaster is coming within the next couple of days!  Users will be able to set their own spell bindings.  Stay tuned!

January 26:  TauntMaster addon updated - it should now work with all locales. Special thanks to EnSabahNur.

January 21:  Updated the Tank Builds pages with images and a few more builds (completely new for Paladins).  Check it out!  I also added the poll to the right - please give your opinion...

January 20:  Apparently this is not my week.  I apologize for the errors in v2.1 & v2.1.1 - The issue has been resolved and the buttons are clickable again (in v2.1.12 frames now react correctly to the Center & Lock customizations.  I have also switched some pally abilities.  Thanks for your patience in resolving this issue.  Please download the latest version.

January 19:  I apologize for the issues with v2.1 & 2.1.1 - it has officially been resolved and the buttons now react correctly.  Pelase download the updated version.

January 18, 2010: New addon update!! Version 2.1 is out: The user can now choose to lock TauntMaster or reset the position of TauntMaster.  The user can also hide the minimap icon.  I have also added the ctrl-click button to all classes which will "assist" the user that is being clicked on.  I have also added Divine Intervention for Paladins (Shift-click).

January 15, 2010: Welcome to the new site! There is now a database of tanking gear that is sorted by instance or by item slot. Also, check out the tank builds page for the basic tanking builds of each class. I want your input, so please make suggestions or let me know of any errors or bugs in the forum.

January 12, 2010: New site coming soon!  I will be adding a database of tanking gear sorted by instances & slots as well as popular tanking builds.  Check back regularly for updates! I have also released an update of the TauntMaster file. I have fixed the error message that some users were experiencing when they tried to open up the configuration menu.

January 6, 2010:  Version 2.0 is here!  It allows the user to customize the button size, orientation, or to hide TauntMaster altogether.  I also fixed the Righteous Defense and Intervene issues.  Check out the rest of the site for updates & post any bugs in the new forum.
