Runes of Magic US / AU

I've assumed all this time that they force the target to attack you. My experience seems to support this, but today another knight (who's more experienced than I) is telling me this isn't the case. He's saying that the two /scout taunts just adds aggro and that LKBR is the only ability that forces a target to attack.

Can anyone clarify for me what exactly the two taunts do and their durations?

So it sounds like they *do* force the target to attack you regardless of aggro? Just as I thought? Are you sure about this?

Edit: ftwoplay, I've been in situations where I've used taunts but I still don't show as the top person on the threat meter, so I don't think that's how it works. Of course, in those situations, the mob always attacked me until the taunt wore off, which is why I assumed that taunts simply forced the target to attack you for the duration.

I was losing aggro right after the taunts wore off. That's consistent with the idea that taunts simply force the target to attack you. But if you look at the skills description, only LKBR actually *says* that it forces the target to attack. The others just say "taunts the enemy" or something like that. This difference in their descriptions makes it unclear to me whether or not they do the same thing after all, as I had always assumed, or if taunts have some other mechanics as you and ftwoplay suggested.

Edit: In GC easy today, I taunted the first boss and then turned my toon around and never attacked or used a single skill. The boss stayed on me the entire time while I was clearly generating zero aggro (the boss died right as the taunt wore off). But that could still be due to some other underlying mechanic such as what ftwoplay suggested. Does anyone know for sure what the taunts do or has anyone ever tested for some other underlying mechanics that would make it different than LKBR?

Edit 2: I think the reason it was unreliable for me is because sometimes my Arrow of Vengeance misses and I either don't notice or my other taunts or on cooldown, or I have to chase the boss around to get close enough to use LKBR (or I use it and he runs out of range right as I use it, etc). It wasn't until I started experimenting during GC easy today that I realized how often it misses.
