You're a troll.

Yet again, you have no rebuttal to my previous post. You are just digging yourself deeper, and acting like a child.

What an idiot. Guy really said spamming taunt is BETTER than using it appropriately ROFL

Very clear troll behavior. Factually you are the troll.

You are the troll. Your post history is there for all to see.

Weird that everybody agrees with Crede. Ever thought the problem is you?

The number of people who agree with someone is irrelevant to the truth. That is an Argumentum Ad Populum argument. Just because 100 people claim the sky is orange, it doesn't mean that is true.

If you think I am wrong, use logic, facts, and evidence to prove your point. Not trolling, lies, and insults like you are currently doing. So far you have yet to provide anything in favor of your opinions.

I’ve never said taunt is necessary. As Danth mentioned it’s free and might save a bit of mana if you aren’t chain casting 40-60m taunt spells (since DC is borked). It also might be quicker than it takes for the spell to land once you react to the flip. Unslowed that might save someone a second combat round. If it’s a Jugg that might be 340 damage.

That’s why the Church of MacroTaunt is openly inviting new followers. Leave your false taunt gods behind you and learn of this new and better thing! Amen.

I agree taunt is a usable skill. I don't think anybody has stated otherwise.

People are simply vastly overestimating the opportunity cost of a single taunt being wasted. That seems to be their problem with taunt spamming.

Since taunt is unreliable to begin with, you have to assume the first taunt will fail, even when it doesn't. You can't plan around assuming it will succeed.

So just spam it and assume it doesn't work. Got it. Thanks for the 20+ pages. DSM wins again folks.

Incorrect. Feel free to use taunt and don't worry about a missed taunt here and there. That's what I am saying.

Not using taunt or being afraid to use taunt because you will "waste" it is not not helping your tanking.

You simply can't rely on taunt working factually speaking. Don't build a strategy upon the assumption of success. Please stop twisting my words because you want to be silly.

Could that be summarized as "if you like pressing the button, don't worry about suboptimal behavior because there's a minimal impact"?

Nobody is overestimating the opportunity cost of a missed taunt. There’s simply no reason to spam it. Sks don’t need to do much, it’s not hard to taunt manually, and as you pointed out it gives you the benefit of the first taunt success rate being higher. Given you have claimed root rotting many mobs on a shaman is a viable strategy to increase dps which requires far more APM and concentration, you are clearly capable of taunting manually as well instead of lazily spamming it with a hotkey.

Therefore we can conclude you have agreed you are capable of taunting manually, and since it is superior there is no reason to spam taunt.

Thank you for admitting defeat!
