Defender: We got trouble ahead!
Scrapper: They don't know who we are so let's make a good first impression!
Tank: Don't worry guys! I got this! * runs full speed to the front of the pack! Yelling out!* Ahhhhhhh!
Defender: >> << O.o
Scrapper:O.o
Please give the tank some cool things to yell out when he/she taunts. It's a small issue but brings flavor to concepts.
"Get some!", "I'll break your face!", " Who's next!", "Yeah! Who's the juggernaut! Bi***! Well mabe not the last one but you see what i mean. Dramatics baby! Dramatics!

Looks like you played male characters. On the female characters, the taunt emote was a "Ha[b]HA![/b]" shout out.

Indeed it was! Mace users tossed there weapons from side too side an that was cool as well. Just need more flavor!

My female tank would taunt then run around a corner as a pull tactic... mobs wanted her so bad, they'd go through a gauntlet of everyone else mezzing and attacking them to try and get to her....
...I don't think i ever heard what she "said" while taunting, to be honest... I just always assumed it was "catch me, if you can!"

LOL I think my lady tanker usually said, "Don't Mess with the Hot Chick!", but I could be wrong. She was Fire/** after all.
Be Well!

I had, "Come over here and look at my t*ts" on one of my female tankers for a while (via a bind). It seemed the only logical explanation for their sudden insistence on crowding round her...
Betcha they nerf accuracy in the first patch...
Are you sure it wasn't, "Come up and see me sometime"?
I had a female tanker who had, "So tell me, $target, is it true you like getting beaten down by girls?"

My Tanker, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otogi_Jushi_Akazukin]Shirayukihime[/url], would say as her Battlecry ... "You cannot win, Cendrillon..." ... which of course always brought on questions of who this nemesis of Shirayukihime's was that she kept talking about.

HA! Coulda been... she was a cat burglar who accidently stole an epic magical ax that bound to her.....so she keeps trying to act like a squirly ninja, even though she's the toughest kid on the block :P

I played primarily on Virtue, and enjoyed the casual level RP'ing that would happen on missions. I used the F7 battle cry all the time! It would be great to be able to store a handful of phrases that would cycle through randomly whenever you activate a taunt.
My Tank's Cry was: "HA! you can't hurt me, SON!"
Once teamed with a tank dressed very much like a family meathead, that used targetting binds to rotate through a few dozen "dozens" put downs directed at his most current taunt target.
Heeeelarious.
Hey Infernal! your momma so fat....etc

I loved that sound way more than the male version.

my friend had a character "Punchy The Clown" who would dance after performing attacks and tell bad jokes when he taunted.

I always imagined my name sake saying something like...
"The worst of the best is about to kick your butt."
or
"Let's do some damage."
when she taunted, but then she was a scrapper with taunt.
Element would have said "Do you love us?" but she was a troller and kinda creepy.

...which was stolen for other purposes; I recall a Rikti mission where I screenshotted one of the Rikti tossing a knife back and forth from hand to hand, the only one of those I'd ever seen.
My favorite joke to pull with Redlynne was to use [url=http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/powers/power.php?id=Scrapper_Melee.Martial_Arts.Warriors_Challenge]Warrior's Challenge[/url] on a Paragon Protector after they'd popped [url=http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/powers/power.php?id=Temporary_Powers.Temporary_Powers.Moment_of_Glory]Three Minutes of Glory[/url] so as to aggro magnet them onto myself to Pocket Tank them and then do my signature [b]NO GET HITSU!![/b] routine, thanks to Super Reflexes, while doing the Newspaper emote. What made this funny was that I'd be standing there reading the newspaper, ignoring the Paragon Protector while they "whiffed" away at me, since I was just waiting for their Minutes of Glory to expire so I could kick their keister with my sneakers.
Redlynne (reading newspaper while Paragon Protector flails away pathetically): "Catgirl sues owner for excessive petting activities not devoted exclusively to her amid charges of infidelity ... page C12."

Had several Tanks and most of them had a battlecry and/or Taunt phrase.
You wanna feel some HEAT? from my Fire Tank.
Time to COOL OFF! from my Ice Tank.
I'm gonna eat your heart! from my Brute.
I remember when Star Wars was cool...a long, long time ago...
Paragon Protectors and their Moment of Glory, how I loved it when I finally finished my IO build and just laughed at MoG. Kismet, Tactics, +ACC set bonuses and high slotted ACC...if I didn't take them down before they activated MoG (had a knockdown attack that usually helped ensure I could) still beat out their 3min timer.
Loved taking them on :)
Memory's getting fuzzy with age, but IIRC my tank's taunt was "THAT was your best shot?"
[i]Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...[/i]
I liked how some of the sets had unique animations.
My Axe characters would point my axe and grunt.
My Shield/Axe Tank would point the axe then bang it against the shield.
It would be great if the Taunt power (however it works) can be setup to auto 'speak' whatever you wanted it to, if not allow this for all powers. Maybe even have a rotation (planned or random).
IE:
Open the powers tray, click on the power "Battle Cry" button next to each power (or an All Power button?).
This opens a text editor with a max character limit.
Enter a few different options (maybe limit it to 5?) and I can either set (Only #, Rotation [Random], Rotation [Order]

My Fire/Mace Tank's taunt was, "Come! Meet Howard. Mace to Face."
Yeah, he named his mace Howard.
ROFLMAO that's awesome! I can just hear it with a Cave Johnson voice.
