I have Taunt slotted with the Perfect Zinger damage proc and I like to use it even when solo, hoping to do a bit of extra damage during the Rage crash.

 

Recently, I ran the entirety of Who Will Die for the first time. I'm not a fan of the whole thing, but I enjoyed the finale a lot. I battled through to the end and then unexpectedly defeated Rula-Wade with a taunt. It seemed highly appropriate. He's near-invulnerable, except for his pride.

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who slots this proc, so I wonder: in our long history, which other archvillains have been laid low by a crack at their ego?

Long ago I started to use the %Psi piece in Taunt, but I found that it wasn't a great use of a slot:

  • The %damage piece still requires a ToHit roll, even if the Taunt effect does not. Threat pieces have minimal choices for Accuracy. This lack of Accuracy choices is probably an oversight, as there are powers that don't have auto-hit components for Threat.
  • Generally I prefer the set bonuses from Mocking Beratement
  • Psi damage ends up being resisted hard by many enemies.

I do often drop the %Psi piece into other Tanker attacks, when I want the extra proc (or off-type damage).
