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 keep forgetting to explain why spamming taunt is "moronic".

Simply repeating the strategy of using taunt at the proper time doesn't explain why spamming taunt is bad.

You seem to be forgetting multiple points, so let me remind you:

1. Taunt has a 6 second cooldown with a low success rate. Please stop treating taunt like a reliable tool, such as Defensive Disc. That is being disingenuous at best.

2. Knights never rely on taunt for agro generation. It's a bonus tool you can use to increase your chances of success, that is all.

3. If you rarely/never use taunt, you get literally nothing from it. Something is better than nothing, even if it's 1 point of hate.

I hope you can explain your position in your next post, and not simply repeat the alternate strategy.
