Shadow knight aggro

Honestly this feels like borderline bannable information being spread.

+1 agro generation and an 8.33% chance to automatically taunt is better than never pressing taunt at all.

I am not sure why you cannot agree to this basic logic.

It is amazing that you think saying a fact is a bannable offense. You are blatantly ignoring all the trolling that has been going on in this thread, which is actually against the rules (and could get you banned).

Trolling
If you must troll another user, keep it contained to Rants and Flames. Don’t over do it.

Forum accounts created for the sole purpose of trolling are not allowed.

We encourage you to list your in-game characters in your signature so other forum users may know who your characters are in game. Its no fun reading posts from AnonymousForumTroll01 without knowing who they are in game, and this does not foster community growth.

Dsm thinking he “won” because troxx said “nothing” even though even troxx knows It does “Something”. Its simply not enough to use it over strategic taunting, which is the entire point of this thread.

The desperation here to win is quite sad.

DSM wins every time you hit the reply button. Learn some self control.

I didn’t see anybody answer my question on what spells an SK should be using. Did it get spammed out?

Unfortunately the trolls did spam it out. I agree they are a problem. People should be calling them out to stop this nonsense, but it isn't happening. They seem to be fine with ignoring it and letting it continue.

To answer your question, Clinging Darkness, Shroud of Hate, and Shadow Vortex are generally the three best options. You can use Shroud of Pain as well if you can fit 4 agro spells on to your bar, but I find Shroud of Pain usually isn't necessary, and it is the most expensive of the aforementioned spells.

Shadow Vortex and Shroud of Hate do not break Mez, so they are great at building up an agro buffer before you break Mez. Clinging Darkness is the cheapest mana-wise, so you should default to that if you aren't worried about dotting the mob. You can always Cast Shroud of Hate or Shadow Vortex right after Clinging Darkness if you can't wait for the recast timer to finish.

Why would somebody "never press taunt at all"?

Ask Snaggles and Toxigen, two people who say they don't use taunt at all.

I fail to see how me replying to Crede is relevant to your question. I gave you two exmaples of posters who don't use taunt at all. You can ask them why. Clearly these players do exist.

[Guesty07]

Maybe because Crede (and most people in this thread) never said that spamming taunt is worse than NEVER PRESSING THE BUTTON AT ALL EVER.

[Snaggles]

I’ve never needed it and it was one more button to crowd my button bar. There are times I’ll use it for mez breaks but only if I don’t trust the enchanter or healer, lol.

If I did make it part of my normal routine I would personally choose to use it selectively when it is noticeably beneficial.

I have a digitial caliper I also seldom use. If I needed to chip ice for some home bartending I guess it would work for that. It wouldn’t be worse than not using it or any other makeshift tool to chip ice. Does that mean I’ll misuse a tool because it will inefficiently solve my problem? No. I’d rather just deal with generic cube ice than look, well, crazy..

I’m trying to decide whether you guys are spam taunting DSM, DSM is spam taunting you or it is some kind of weird mutual thing going on.
