I used Blalok's until I got Bully though I did keep Mad Cry on my hotbar for those epic fights. Because of the stifle effect incorporated into Blalok's it won't allow you to use that particular taunt on epic mobs.

<DIV>Teeuffel, I suspect you meant Balok's Challenge instead of Balok's Furious Chant, since Balok's Furious Chant and Mad Cry are not really comparable.  Balok's Furious Chant is an ENCOUNTER taunt (hence the green background) while Mad Cry is an individual taunt.  Balok's Challenge, however, is the specialisation to Mad Cry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you did mean Balok's Challenge (Level 20 selection) - I picked Brugal's Boastful Blow so I can't really comment on Balok's Challenge.  BUT, I STILL use Brugal's at Level 50 since it's on a different timer to every other taunt I have (being in the Taunting Blow line), but its symbol is the Horn and (unlike Taunting Blow) NOT the Fist, so it helps complete HO's as well as being another taunt to spam if you need to.  As far as Balok's Challenge goes, I'd imagine you won't use this anymore once you get Bully, as Bully is a fantastic individual taunt (Nice hate increase + Mental DoT + Interrupt).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you meant Balok's Furious Chant (Level 30 selection) - This is my favourite taunt.  Even if I'm MT'ing a single enemy I use it since as well as a nice hate increase, it forces a berserk every time.   Not only that, it is on a shorter recast timer (20 seconds instead of 30) than all our other encounter taunts, including our level 50 taunt.  Highly recommend picking this at level 30.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hope that helps!</DIV>

<DIV>Balok's Furious Chant and Mad Cry are not on the same timer because, as I said, they are on a completely different line of taunts.  Balok's Furious Chant is an ENCOUNTER taunt while Mad Cry is an individual taunt.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I can't confirm this, but Balok's <STRONG>Challenge</STRONG> would be on the same timer as Mad Cry because they are within the same line of taunt arts - Balok's Challenge effectively replaces Mad Cry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is that... any clearer?</DIV>
