Rise to the Challenge has a short-duration Magnitude 3 taunt effect on everything in its radius. Against All Odds (from the Shield powerset) has a similar Mag 3 taunt, as does the scrapper version of Invincibility (Invulnerability powerset). You might have noticed that all three powers are actually slottable for taunt duration.
The taunt effect does not last for long, but it does of course re-apply every time your aura pulses. Which is pretty rapidly.
Now, Tankers on the other hand mostly apply a Mag 4 taunt effect with their stuff. That means a Will, Shield, or Inv Scrapper probably ain't going to pull that much aggro if there's a Tank on the team.
However, in the absence of any other taunter, if you're standing there with your pulsing Mag 3 aura, then they're probably gonna all come at you.
Tankers and Brutes apply a Mag 4 taunt to their target with every attack. Scrappers don't, and few Scrappers explicitly take taunt powers. If I remember correctly, Gen's Claws/Regen or somesuch, so she wouldn't have any actual Taunt going on.
So in the case of a Scrapper who isn't Will/Shield/Inv, the only aggro-drawing mechanic they have is raw damage ratio.
Raw damage ratio simply cannot compare with a proper honest-to-god Mag X Taunt effect. If it could, all blasters would be pancakes.
More pancakey than they are now, anyway.
