Necroing because this thread deserve front page exposure.
My contribution:
I remember refusing to use taunt on my level 3 Paladin back in 1999 because it had been explained to me that it made the mobs want to attack you. I remember thinking at that time, "where's the benefit in that????"
I remember deciding mesmerize was a pretty useless spell after experimenting with it solo in gfay and reinforcing that understanding while grouping on Orc hill. I don't remember how many more levels it took before the epiphany struck or how many more levels of subsequent explanation and training of group members before I was merrily mezzing away.
