I am just calling you out for the troll you are. If you are getting tired of people exposing your trolling, the solution is to stop trolling.

Stick to the topic at hand and explain why you think I am wrong. It's really that simple.

I mean, does it even need to be explained at this point? Taunt may be used less for knights, but it's still a potential instantaneous snap aggro ability. Taunt can save a charmer from a charm break, it can hitch a ride on all that threat/hate on that mob the Bard was snaring etc.

It's utterly moronic to continuously spam this ability when it only generates 1 point of hate/threat if you're at the top of the list already. Come on! As Troxx said: it's not rocket science.

You are an armature that I won't give the time of day to. Learn to play better. Bad bad bad tank thinking taunt only has 1 use application. Gooodbye

What kind of APM are we talking about here for knight classes.
1 spell,auto attack and watch?

Shadow Votex does like 1000x more threat for 40 mana and the same amount of clicks.
Only one situation will taunt peel as good or better and it’s not the one you care to wait for. If you did, you might be able to save some mana since DC is currently broken.

Continue to use taunt incorrectly. It doesn’t matter. Hit begging, disarm, and fishing too while you’re at it. I prob won’t even put it on my bar but it’s funny to think you’re mashing it off CD thinking it’s helping.

Edit: I just realized randomly taunting in hopes it would work to your benefit (the fraction of a second you aren’t top threat) is the same argument you used for FSI. I take it all back and want off this ride. See you on page 30.

Yes, snap agro is better than taunt. Nobody has said otherwise.

Spamming taunt is not incorrect usage. Please stop spreading misinformation. The only way to misuse taunt is to taunt when you shouldn't be trying to get agro.

Spamming taunt is generating more agro and giving you a chance to taunt at the right time. That is better than not using taunt and getting nothing. You can always switch to strategic taunt usage if your group needs it. Your group is not going to wipe because taunt is 2 seconds from coming off cooldown when you lose agro.

Yes, FSI is good too. Having a chance to avoid getting a slow interrupted is better than not having that chance.

Your idea that zero is better than non-zero is silly.

I literally list two examples of why it can be useful, but you ignore it to tell me that knights don't need it for aggro.

I have a 57 Paladin. I know you don't need taunt to hold aggro. However, I still use taunt in emergencies and for stealing aggro someone else has built up over a fight. I don't constantly spam taunt, because I know it still has some uses.

I've been playing this game for a fraction of the time you have, and even I know this. You're just arrogant bad player. It's obvious you just chime in threads to inflate your fragile ego.

I mean, for Christ sake, I actually mouseturn and keybind my spells and abilities. From what I've seen of your videos, you can't even do that.

Nobody is disagreeing with the point that using taunt at the proper time can be useful. Why do you keep making this point? You do realize taunt has a 6 second cooldown, correct? You can switch strategies at any time if you notice your group is constantly acquiring agro.

You still haven't said anything that shows spamming taunt is bad. Maybe you should stop assuming you know everything?

It is also pretty clear you haven't watched my videos very closely if that is your takeaway lol. I also mouseturn and keybind my spells and abilities. I keyboard turn as well, and mouse click stuff that doesn't need to be spammed, because it feels comfortable for me and works fast enough. I am not claiming I am the best player out there. You don't need to be to know how the game works.

So why would I use this ability every 6 seconds for only 1 point of hate/threat? That's absolutely miniscule compared to using it for a potential emergency that can arise in a dungeon with a group.

Just stop posting, already. Do you honestly think anyone likes having you around at this point?
