Was good while it lasted. - Velan's Taunting Cry

[Miyu-Lega]

From the update notes."Brawler- L10(Training) Velan's Taunting Cry: Now shares same reuse timer as all other group taunts (Shout, Jeer, Hand Clap, etc.)."Can't say I'm supprised, it was an extreamly powerful ability. Just a pity we still have no real AE taunt from now 10 to what? 41? Now for some testing to see what holds agro better, this at ad2 or shout at ad3.

It shares the same reuse timer now. Okay, sounds fair.But how about the recast timer? Is it still 8 seconds?

<DIV>Still 8 seconds, yes, and it is like all Training abilities, Adept II with increased hate on the targeted mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I chose it, and it is a great ability.  Considering no one is guaranteed Adept II (certainly not at these low levels, for sure), and it is an encounter-based taunt, it was a hands-down winner.  While I can solo, I want to dispell the myth of brawlers being lousy tanks, and one way to do that is to make sure I have the tools necessary to keep aggro. This is one of them.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Indeed. I'm not sure about other recast timers of higher level ae tauns. But even if the higher taunts may taunt better in pure hate values, if the recast is 30 seconds like it is on shout, you could do Velan's Taunting Cry almost 4 times in the same period. That's a lot more flexibility.
