If you never use taunt on cooldown, you have a zero percent chance of it automatically working. That is what I am saying. I didn't say that using taunt deliberately has a zero percent chance of success. You can switch between both strategies as well, taunt only has a 6 second cooldown.

I am not saying using taunt strategically is a bad idea. I am simply refuting the strange claim that spamming taunt does nothing. Both methods give you a chance to taunt to effect.

Taunt is just a random numbers game. Either you spam taunt and have a chance for it to automatically work, or you use taunt strategically and have a chance to waste it due to the mob running out of range. There are pros and cons to both strategies. At the end of the day taunt is still unreliable, which means neither strategy should be relied upon. If you are at the point where you are trying to use taunt reliably, that means your group is doing something wrong. You are desperate.

Taunt is dumb to spam and only time a knight needs is for after another tank dies to get +1. Any other conversation is dumb too.

You have nothing to back up this claim. Just saying something is "dumb" isn't an argument.

There is no reason to rely on the unreliable. Whether you spam taunt or save it, you are just playing a random numbers game as to if it works. Taunt isn't a long cooldown, high success skill. If it was I would agree with you. Taunt is a fast cooldown low success skill.

The reason why Knights are better at generating agro is because they have a reliable way to do it. They aren't playing the random numbers game of taunt and weapon procs. Knights use taunt because they have it, so you might as well use it. They aren't relying on it.

I take it back, DSM is worse than the weapon swap PvP guy.

You are doing the same thing as the weapon swap guy. Making up claims with nothing to back it up lol. Look in the mirror first[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You have nothing to suggest that using taunt on cooldown is significantly worse.
