How to choose best weapons for the situation

[Naethyn]

I was taught to do the same thing - taunt and then kick for a little bit more aggro on the top. What I've found is taunt is far more successful if you are in the correct position, as close to the front of the mob as possible. A stun lets you get to that position for maximum success rate. Also, white damage is required to hold aggro after a taunt anyways with or without a kick. For anything not stunnable I still kick after a taunt.
