Does Battle Cry / Taunt work in Pvp?

[Svalin]

Checked some guides and did some googles, only one source said it worked, but not how its penalized, I can't imagine a siter does -50% dmg when you cry him. So could anyone tell me if this affects pvp and how?

Thanks in advance :)

Someone has to know right? :<

I tested it right before you ask, and i found it work only 1/6 of explained effects

Hmm is it worth it in your opinion? :)
Oh and welcome to the forums pluievert :)

Taunt probably doesn't work at all (since it's primarily an AI-affecting move). Battle Cry should work, but the -ED% stacks with the ED% the opponent has from skills, auras, fortitude, etc., so it's really a minimal effect.

In PvP:

Battle Cry = Effective

Taunt = Innefective

Right now the stats of my BvC lvl 90 baba are:

Maxed Axe Mastery
Maxed Whirl
Maxed BO
Maxed Shout
19 leap after +skills
3 point Beserk
1 point increased speed / natural resist / iron skin / stamina

now im wondering if its worth it to put 2 points to get battle cry :)
