Royal Guard viable in pvp now?
With the rework of his special taunt being a guarantee, along with his turn meter gain every time someone else gets hit, can he be a viable Dps stopgap for pvp matches? He's got a nice deep health poo...

Really? Like how a lot of people overreacted on Poe, including yourself? You of all people should understand the dangers of calling for all-out nerfs when we can't see the whole picture. In Poe's case, we had no idea they would alter speed changes so dramatically.
The calls for his speed to not be increased to 143 were absolutely correct at the time. There was no overreaction whatsoever, exactly what Instinct and others predicted happened. The changes they made took too long, were not what was asked for, and were completely misguided. I specifically opposed the nerfing they did because I was afraid it would not be enough and then future changes would result in over-nerfing. That is what happened.

Seriously, EA/CG is in a no-win situation.
There's a simple win situation: properly design and balance things. Is that so hard? They are taking in enormous amounts of money. They have expert game designers and a QA staff. They also have a pool of very eager advanced players who would be quite happy to beta test if they would only take advantage of it.
At any rate, nobody is screaming for anything to be nerfed yet. We are simply analyzing what we have been told and considering what impact it will have.
ETA: And yes, I will state as a general rule of thumb that putting in a character with a 100% out-of-turn taunt is probably a bad idea. There are very few out-of-turn abilities to begin with, that one is insanely strong, and if it is unlimited, is going to be a problem.
