"should" is the wrong word. Taunting when you have aggro is just a waste of keystrokes, it doesn't hurt anything.

Why Didnt ALL warriors on live servers have proccing weapons then?? like i said, they all used wurmy/lammy/defiance. Warriors aren't made to weild stupid little shard/daggers.

Perhaps I should rephrase my statement... Spamming taunt COULD be bad if somebody gets agro right after you spam taunt for no reason.
In certain situations (like in the planes for example) you can very easily get a caster killed in the amount of time it would take for your taunt button to refresh.

You really don't need another reason than that. Good tanks keep that ability for when they need it because you never know from one second to the next what somebody else might accidentally do to rip aggro away from you.

Does this matter a ton in the case of an exp group fighting nothing but blue con trash mobs? Probably not. But if you make a habit of this it would end up leading to deaths in places where mobs are quadding for insane damage.

lol @ "I got that taunt button.." You're probably nub enough that you think spamming it "builds" aggro. Jeez, learn to play your fucking class. I really feel sorry for anyone with the misfortune of grouping with a ghetto warrior like you.

True, but that's why not many people get to MT for a raid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Like u said I was generalizing. But it is a bad habit to get into. I admit I did this back in '99 thinking it built aggro but somewhere in my Sebilis crawls I got learnd about the game mechanics.

Not every Warrior knew how taunt mechanics worked back then. I used a pair of Wakizashis before Kunark came out, I couldn't afford yaks. Although people did tell me I should use Obsidian Shards, I told them that was stupid because I'd rather have a 7/21 weapon over a 6/25. In hindsight, I was retarded.

Plus, the very best weapons with proc that are released with Kunark aren't exactly easy to get. We all used Wurmslayers because they were cheap and easy to get. I suppose some people just assumed the damage ratio was enough to ditch the yaks.

Also don't forget about the patch that allowed Warriors to taunt mobs up to 5 levels higher. This made it easier for us to actually use taunt effectively, even without proc. As it stands now, it's almost completely impossible to taunt a white, yellow, or red mob. All you've got is proc.

I'm not really raging, just saying how annoying it is that people think they can tell us what weapon to use. I dont want to use a fukken Obsidian Shard of Avalon. I dont wanna use a YAK those are 9k. I wanna use EXECUTIONERS AXE that someone gave me. What are you gonna do when every warrior, in the near distance future starts using only Wurmslayer and Lamentation.

Beyotch, i got a TAUNT button i use often.

Oh and by the way, if you're gonna nuke something for like 300 points of damage do you think a little shard is gonna stop a mob from coming over
and squishing you? Whats that you say? i NEED Shards because taunt is broken in this server? not my fault, tell the devs to fixit.

You use an exe axe and you will look better. You use weapons that proc you will do your job in a group better.

Thats just how it is. I have been carrying around a goofy looking white mug that makes me look like I'm heading to a tea party since level 12 or so when I would much rather have the staff of writhing or words of darkness graphics.

It would make more sense to have a staff with a skull on it or a book being a necromancer, but instead I currently look like I'm about to cut some grass with my scythe while sipping some tea.

You mean you don't do that?

All this time I was seeing people with a mug and thinking, Where's the tea party!
