Shadow knight aggro

I remember when DSM’s SK wasn’t even 60. Like 6 months ago? Now he’s giving tanking TED talks about level 1 skills you literally can just read about on the Wiki.

My favourite part is now we have two categories of taunt usage like it’s the Metric and Imperial system. Also, people can switch between them as needed (validating the stupid one invented like 15 pages ago) like an ambidextrous athlete.

I’ll still likely put taunt on my bar. To a single hotkey with a /doability # and /cast 1 entry. I’m going to call this Macro Taunt. Please enter it as the third and most superior method. It’s the Venn Diagram between lazy and effective.

You don't need all of your characters to be at level 60 to know how the game plays, or how a class works. Argument from authority is a fallacy. Getting to 60 on an SK isn't game changing like getting Torpor on a Shaman. My SK doesn't play significantly different at level 60. He was my first character on this server, I've played him for years. You also get taunt very early in the game, so you don't need to be level 60 to understand how taunt works.

I agree with you that basic concepts like taunt spamming shouldn't need to be explained with this level of detail. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=140 this should be extremely obvious to anybody who has used taunt in a group before. Typically you are not using taunt only once if you lose agro. You only have a 50% chance of success at best. You lose one taunt in the worst case by spamming taunt.

It is very strange that people are getting angry that you can use taunt in two ways instead of one. It's baffling to me that this is a problem for people.

Spamming taunt would be beneficial in your case, since you don't even use taunt. You are getting nothing from the skill right now.

For your idea about combining taunt and your agro spell into one macro, just remember to not use that macro if you are already out of melee range. Otherwise you will just put taunt on cooldown when you start casting your agro spell. That only works when you are in melee range already.

I also didn't invent taunt spamming. I am pretty sure every tank in this thread spammed taunt to level it up lol. So congrats on being a fellow user of taunt spamming.
