Return of Reckoning

The Issue

Loudmouth is very much under performing from how it used to work on live. Loudmouth as a tactic slot is very hard to justify as it no longer has any chance to crit and has to deal with damage mitigation which it's not supposed to. Now I was told by a few players that on this server Loudmouth used to crit but was removed because it caused problems with the proc meta.

Solution

Allow Loudmouth to properly bypass damage mitigation as it's supposed to. The reason Loudmouth functioned this way on live was a balance to the fact unlike Swordmaster's who have quite a few abilities that go against a resist, Black Orcs have so few. Loudmouth was the counterbalance to this effect. This ability only procs when a war bellow procs and is supposed to provide a BO with a bit of burst vs some of the heavier armored targets like WLs, Engies who stack armor, and WP's.

This is really the only solution I could think of mostly due to how it originally worked.

If you're stating that Loudmouth does not work as it did on live, you are required to demonstrate proof of this and open a bug report.

Declined.

And from 1.2 patch notes:

Loudmouth: The damage of this ability has been increased and changed to Corporeal. However, this damage will not critically hit or receive benefit from stats.

Please don't lie to me, thanks!
