Glad we all agree that using taunt as and when needed it thr best move.

Yes, we all agree on that. Nobody in this thread ever said otherwise lol. This thread is a classic example of trolls like yourself getting worked up over strawman arguments fabricated out of thin air.

Showing the benefits of spamming taunt is not the equivalent to saying one strategy is better than the other. I simply disproved the basleless claim that spamming taunt has no value, or has a significant opportunity cost here https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=140 .

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...9&postcount=14 My position on page 2 is the same one I have been saying this entire time. Please learn read what people are saying. Also learn to stop trolling.

Spamming taunt and saving taunt are both viable strategies. With that being said, taunt shouldn't be relied upon in the first place.

DSM said - "Often times it can be, yes. It frees up your brain to focus on other things. If you need to save taunt and use it strategically every 30 seconds because the rogue is constantly taking agro, you have bigger issues lol. Saving or spamming taunt is not the problem in this group."

Another troll post for your history. You aren't hurting me or helping yourself. Hopefully you learn to stop trolling one day, but at least you are making it easy for people to see that you are a troll.

You are the unhinged player who is willing to group with people in game under false pretenses, just to try and capture footage of them making mistakes. Be wary of playing with Penish in game.

The idea that spamming taunt on cool down is advisable because you might get lucky and coincidentally hit it right when you lose agro is one of the most insane tortured rationalizations I've ever come across, even judging by DSM standards.

Let's consider a metaphor:

Imagine your doctor offered you a weekly subscription to a magic pill that would immediately cure a cold, on the condition that it be taken within a few hours of symptoms first appearing. For our purposes this pill is named Taunt. Unfortunately, Taunt has a very short shelf life, and only lasts for about a week and then must be disposed of (consider this a 7 day "cool down"). So with your subscription to Taunt you only ever have one good pill on hand at a time, and in order for it to be effective you must be prepared to take it within a few hours.

By DSM's tortured logic, he would just take the Taunt pill immediately upon receiving it every week, even if he currently has no symptoms, under the justification that he theoretically might get lucky and arrest a cold right as it begins by sheer luck. This, of course, would leave him without the pill for the remainder of the week, during which he would be entirely unprotected should his symptoms emerge during that period. Obviously, this is not an ideal approach.

Hopefully this metaphor illustrates the foolishness of DSM's reasoning and will cause him to reevaluate his thinking on this matter. Any takers on that bet?

He never re evaluates his thinking. If he admits to being wrong, it’s because of an actual game mechanic he either didn’t know or overlooked. When it comes to these types of topics that he thinks are debatable, he pretends he’s some eq philosopher capable of finding truth where nobody else can.

It took him 20 pages to demonstrate what a suboptimal alternative can do. Yes we know taunt spamming has a small chance at success to fire at the exact moment you need it. But the failure is choosing it over just taunting when you need to regain aggro, which is what you should be doing as a tank. The alternative is like saying a shaman should med instead of canni at 60. Just don’t do it unless you are ok with settling with inferiority.

Lying about other posters is not a valid method of argument. Everything you said about me is trivial to disprove. You continue to hurt yourself while not hurting me. You are simply establishing this repeatable pattern of lying whenever people disagree with you.

Your analogy comparing taunt to medding/cannibalizing is nonsensical on it's face, because both medding and cannibalizing are reliable game mechanics. Taunt is not a reliable game mechanic. It is an apples to oranges comparison. You are also drastically overestimating the opportunity cost of a single lost taunt, which is the worst case when spamming taunt and then switching to strategic use.

Come back when you can address this post, which you have yet to do. I easily rebutted your previous complaints thus far.

At least you agree that spamming taunt is a viable strategy, which is the baseless claim I was rebutting!

You are the only troll in this thread that lies, makes narratives up and changes the goal posts. If only your first post in his thread had said, "saving taunt for when needed is the best idea. But I like to spam it, and here is the reasons why-" people would have been like, huh, cool. And we could have saved ourselves 20 pages of nonsense. Troll.

I did say that on page 2. This was before I responded to Keebz, which I already said was poorly worded.

You are projecting your trolling and bad behavior on to me. The post history is clear. You didn't every try to have a dialogue. This was your post in response to my post I linked above:

Lol you should never ever just spam taunt. At all.

You started trolling immediately. You didn't just say "huh, cool" like you claimed you would. It is far too late for you to try and backtrack your poor behavior.

[Guesty07]

You're a troll.
