How Does Moog use taunts?

Hello smart people

Moog new to game, not too smart. Am asking friend to write this. Am berzerker and don't understand how and when exactly to use taunts. Should moog use taunts repeatedly during fight? Should he just use the meanest taunt and not the others? Once he taunts, does he need to taunt again during fight, or is that just if bad guys stop attacking him and try to kill mage or healer? Moog will wait near pigeon roost to hear good reply. Too scary out there. Many freeps trying to kill Moog in Vox...what he ever do to them...? Moog would pray to Thor for help, but Moog spoke to level 70 ancient one who says he killed Thor...

Yes, Moog should definitely be using his taunts throughout the entire fight. My berserker, who is 38 currently, continually uses his single target taunt, group taunt, and melee attack that generates hate.

The more you taunt the mobs, the more DPS your group can crank out without getting bopped.

The exception is "rescue", which should be reserved for emergency situations.

Pretty much agree with Tickles. Taunting will increase "hate" that the monsters have towards you, even if they are already attacking you. They will just hate you even more. SMILEY

I'm not sure if this is true, but it seems to me that if someone else gains the montster's attention during a fight, it can be really difficult to get their attention back.

Conj can really tick me off though. I used rescue once while the pet took aggro from me. It didn't work.
