I have never seen any tank who understood how taunt actually works ever advocate for spamming it whenever it’s up.
Ever.
This is more of a warrior issue to be honest. Knights don’t really need the button. Only time I really use it on my paladin is right before I break a mez, and then (on mez break) always right before I cast a threat spell for that chance at top aggro + 1 before the spell lands for a slingshot beyond top aggro. If taunt fails I usually just break anyways and cast another threat spell as needed.
Having it bound to a hot key can get you into trouble. If you’re on a raid and not the designated tank, eventually you’re gonna cause a problem, take damage you didn’t need to, or flip a mob and piss off the rogues.
I’d argue it is better to never press taunt than to autistically smash it every time it is up.
I swear this may be THE MOST retarded 30+ pages to be found on these forums.
