You can check this entire thread and my post history. Nowhere did I say "spamming taunt is the optimal default/standard strategy". I am really not sure where you think you read that. I have been quite clear, and have repeated my points multiple times.

I have repeated myself in detail multiple times. I agree that post was more terse, and could have been worded better. But even if you were to take the worst interpretation as me saying "spamming taunt can be better sometimes", that still isn't "spamming taunt is the optimal default/standard strategy". I am really confused as to where you thought you saw me say this.

Given two strategies:
1) Spam taunt whenever it comes off cooldown; whenever you lose aggro cast an aggro spell. 2) Save taunt; whenever you lose aggro first taunt and then cast an aggro spell. Which one do you think is the better, more-optimal strategy? Is there another strategy you think is more optimal than either of those? | ||

Taunt has a 6 second cooldown and is unreliable. The opportunity cost of missing a single strategic taunt is extremely minimal, especially on a knight who has agro spells. What is so difficult about this concept that I must repeat it ad nauseum?

I'm just trying to understand your position. I think I get it now. You don't believe the difference in effect between optimal and non-optimal strategies for taunt utilization has any substantial impact?
Again, not trying to mischaracterize your position. The above summary is the position I hold, for what it's worth. | ||

Let's go back to this:

The question clearly isn't about "the choice of not using taunt". Did you misread that question when you first answered it? | |||||

I mean, sure, you can spam taunt if you really think that miniscule amount of hate means something, and you think emergencies are unlikely.
If, however, there is an enchanter with a charm, and it's liable to break, it is utterly invaluable for the tank to at least try to taunt it first before committing to aggro spells. That is one such example of why you should keep taunt up whenever you can. Isn't this obvious? There are also plenty more scenarios where it would come in handy, so keeping it off cooldown, in a dungeon where you're tanking for a group, is the wiser course of action. | ||
