More like our exasperation with him taunting us, then we're causing high threat/hate via his triggering a psychosis where he's unable to admit he's wrong.

Maybe because Crede (and most people in this thread) never said that spamming taunt is worse than NEVER PRESSING THE BUTTON AT ALL EVER.
Great! It sounds like you agree with me. I am not sure why you are arguing with me then. There should be no problem with me posting the facts about taunt and letting people decide how they want to use it. You haven't provided any evidence to suggest spamming taunt has a significant downside, and you agree a person like Snaggles (who rarely uses taunt because it takes up too much space on bar) would get more mileage out of taunt if he assigned it to a macro he was already spamming. It provides a boost to agro generation with no extra effort in that case.

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.

Argument from authority fallacy. Irrelevant.

Correct. This is one reason why the opportunity cost for spamming taunt is very low. You aren't relying on Taunt to begin with. Taunt's 6 second cooldown allows you to switch between spamming and strategic usages whenever you want. The opportunity cost is one missed Taunt in the worst case. Best case is you land the Taunt at the correct time anyway.

Nobody is suggesting you should use taunt when you aren't trying to get agro. If you have enough self control to not press the Taunt button in a raid, you have enough self control to not press a macro with taunt on it. You do know that you can make multiple macros and use different hotkey pages?

Please stop using autism as a slur. It really isn't helping you.

You agreed with me in your previous post. Why do you keep trolling and making yourself look bad? You aren't hurting me.

You are one of the worst trolls on these forums. You're a detriment to anyone actually looking for valuable information. If staff cared about such things you'd be banned from the forums. Sadly they don't.
You have nothing to back up this claim. I provide information backed up by logic and evidence. You can check what I am saying in game yourself. Conversely, all 5 of your posts in this thread are actual troll behavior, and contribute nothing to the conversation. You are the one breaking the forum rules, so I am not sure why you think I am the one getting banned here.

You have blatantly ignored the real trolling behavior that has been happening in this thread. This shows you aren't trying to call out troll behavior. Either you cannot recognize actual troll behavior, or you are specifically choosing to ignore it. Regardless of which scenario is the truth, your opinion becomes irrelevant because of it.

Incorrect. Also, avoid playing with Penish. He actually lies about his intentions when playing with you in game. He will try to record you with the specific purpose of trying to catch you making a mistake.
