I just wanted to chime in on saying spamming taunt when you know no one will immediately pull is good advice. Especially in a group with pets. You are working in conjunction with the pet to generate more hate than you would alone. Your casters will appreciate this if they like to nuke heavy early and often instead of just once a mob. Even if it is not up when the mob runs away often times you are better to stand there and cast a hate generating spell than you are to try to chase it and miss a taunt because of range issues.

Good point!

My paladin doesn’t have disarm or taunt on the bar. The only thing I find make or break is disarming Bvellos and rogues/monks/warriors have 200 skill while we have 70.

IMHO, knowing the spells to cast, when to cast them, and using a GCD is what every knight should focus on. If you are relying on disarm and taunt you are being stingy.

Taunt is an incredible tool even for a knight

[Snaggles]

Taunt can fail.
Taunt is close range.

I tend to stay wayyyy at the top of the threat table. If someone pulls aggro IMHO it’s better to crank another quick aggro spell than chase and taunt. Any solid taunt spell will rip back a slowed mob NP.

That isn't taunts only application lol. You should never ever just spam it end of story

[Guesty07]

Taunt can give you 10x the amount of threat that any Spell can ever give you. Instantly. Do not waste it you armatures.

A knight aggro spell will hold aggro over any other player with the exception of a GCD clicking bane wizard (theoretically, tho knights tanking those targets is rare). I expect, all the SK taps, flash of light, stuns, etc are close to 1k hate as is slow and other aggro spells. They also have faster cast rates and lower CD’s than most debuffs or nukes.

If a knight can’t keep aggro it’s the knights issue. I tank VSR without attacking and wizards go ham after about 10 seconds in. It never flips. If it did I guess I would put taunt back on my skill bar.

I’d agree completely though. Spamming it when you have aggro is stupid. It’s not doing any good.
