Advantages

Crippling Challenge (3 Advantage Points)

+ Increases the threat caused by this attack, making enemies more likely to attack you.
+ Places a 20% damage debuff on the target that persists for 15 seconds. If the affected enemy attacks the taunter, it will quickly reduce this debuff's strength. Conversely, damage the taunter inflicts on the taunted enemy restores the debuff's strength.
+ This advantage Taunts an AI controlled enemy, forcing them to attack you for 4 seconds. All taunts share a 10 second cooldown, and an enemy that has been taunted by any source cannot be taunted again for 10 seconds.
+ Crippling Challenge breaks through blocking and disables it for 10 seconds.

Stinging Bee (2 Advantage Points)
Sets you up for additional attacks, granting you a stack of Focus.

The Focus buff increases your melee damage and grants you a small amount of energy. This energy gain scales with your Dexterity and you may gain energy in this way at most once every 4 seconds. The damage buff scales with your Strength and Dexterity and you can gain up toeight stacks of this buff.

You cannot have more than 1 stack of Focus unless you have one of the Martial Arts form powers active.
