Is weird because, I got one the old disgusting Tarzan scream in one build taunt, and a different normal female sound in another build taunt.
How is this?
I tried if it was different under rage effects, but is not.
I dont remember seeing this in patch notes, so Im lost.
Any clue?

Can't speak for Super Strength but War Mace has a different Taunt sound and animation when paired with Shield Defense. It's really amazing, sometimes I like run around and use it on grays just for kicks.

I don't have a female SS but Gob's right about Shield Defense. The taunt on a female is awful. It's been broken for a while now. I bring it up every once in a while and bugged it at least once in-game but no luck so far.

You can test it by toggling off all your shield powers. The taunt or confront will be the normal female-sounding ah-hah sound. Toggle on any shield power and it changes to the tarzan yell. I have no idea why.

Yep, without shield is normal, but with shield is the Tarzan scream.
Cant believe it, what a crap...

Don't know about SS, but I know Axe's Taunt sounds different with Hover on or off.

I think I'm describing a different scream than everyone else for 2 reasons:

1) War Mace/Shield (with the shield out, mind you) doesn't sound like a Tarzan yell at all, it's really more of a non-animalistic growl.

2) Doesn't fit Golden_Avariel's descriptor of "awful", it's pure awesome on a stick (or war mace).

heh point taken. It is awful for my fire/shield amazon. It's a weird kind of yell but I'm pretty sure it's the same one you get with the tarzan emote. I might be wrong.
