    Great guide for the beginners. However, there is one thing I'd like to point out about provoke.
    You're right to say that provoke generates a lot of enmity/hate. But provoke works in a different way.

    - Provoke causes the tank to grab hate from the highest person in your party(and making it your own) and adds +1 enmity to it. Meaning that in emergency situations a simple provoke is never enough to pull hate back to you. Considering that heals tend to be tossed around the place.

    The combination of Provoke > Shield lob however is a great way to pull a mob back to you. Followed by either a flash or any of the enmity combos.

    Basically using provoke to open up a boss fight is honestly wasted. I always shield lob + flash a boss. Followed by the enmity combo.

    Vydos and TaunTaun, good feedback. The tooltip for that skill is a bunch of garbage. I updated the guide to reflect the true provoke mechanics and gave you guys some credit.

    Thanks!
