Taunt will bring your hate up to the top of the list. If you are already on the top of the list it does nothing.

If someone steals the aggro from you, you taunt and move back to the top.

Thats simplified because I have never been a tank, it might move it to be equal to the top hated or close at least. Either way if you already have aggro using taunt is pointless.

Pretty much what Hippo said.

so if enchanter has 1000 hate and you have 800.
A successful taunt will put you at 1001 hate instantly.
Now you need to follow that up with a kick or back or something to maintain that aggro especially if what caused the aggro is a dot or something.

This is why when facing tougher mobs a successful taunt on a mezed mob followed by a kick or bash to break mez is so effective at keeping the mob from attacking the enchanter.

Most warriors on this server are completely awful players. The original poster is certainly no exception. Using an exe. axe in a group is basically not doing your job properly, equivalent to a cleric who can't heal, an enchanter who can't mez, a bard who can't twist, a mage who can't control his pet, a wizard who ninja-AFK's, etc, etc.

true, though more analagous would be a rogue using an offhand Yak and a Trident of the Seven Seas just because he "wanted to"

Yes,

A warrior using an exe axe is like a ranger playing to their full potential.

Hmm, i was under the impression you would move up the list by one.

Example: Theres three people, and warrior is the third one on the hate list, a successful taunt would put you into second, another sucessful taunt would then put you top if you didnt drop down the hatelist between your last taunt.

No, you go to the top of the list +1.

And Hippo, I am pretty sure if you are already on the top of the hate list, a successful taunt still adds +1 more. Which may as well be nothing, because it's worthless to add just 1 more if you are already on top of the list. So you save your taunt and as soon as the mob turns on somebody else, you hit it. It's all about timing.
