Totem Mastery - Taunt not working with ballista totems?

Can anyone try to help me verify? I have this mastery next to the watchtowers notable "Totems taunt enemies around them for 1 seconds when summoned", however, even if I'm placing them down as I'm being chased by a blue pack, the monsters just keep running right by and never really stop to attack the totems at all? It happens -sometimes- but that happened before I picked the mastery up as well. I'm using toxic rain + ballista

it's yet another bug - consider this point spent to be more of a suggestion - it will work in plenty of scenarios beyond how well totems taunt to begin with, bit its infinitely far from the 100% it should be given the cost and the wording.

So - either the decryption needs to be updated OR there is a mechanic where enemies can, without any of being able to tell ahead of time, are able to ignore it - or it's a max number of enemies OR a million other non-bugs that are undocumented.

Take your pick - but right now, it doesn't always work - so spend the point elsewhere.
