Enmity changes needed for PvP:

[nickx]

but I don't want this game's PVP to degenerate into the crowd control and rebalancing chaos that a certain other popular MMORPG's PVP arenas had right before I ended my subscription to that game.

Don't lie, I bet you miss the triple sheep, into triple cyclone, into blind, into kidney shot, into sap. :P

How on earth did you know? Respeccing and changing my gameplay style completely every single patch was also great fun just so that I could sit in arena matches and watch my friends playing while I stood still. I was originally shadow too, so...

I'm generally not a fan of any game design decisions which take control away from the player. It sounds as though they're addressing tank usefulness in The Feast and I still enjoy having one on my team in FL, whereas giving them (a second?) Cover, even more ways to crush jobs weak against melee already and a gigantic buff to a free ability which capitalises on the difficulties of targeting and coordinating in 72-man doesn't sound all that fun. Imagine if I use Assize after someone randomly throws a Provoke on me and runs away - I'd probably instantly die. And I know SMN is in a good place right now but imagine how awful their lives would become overnight.

About Provoke

Provoke would have a range, if the tank isn't near you he can't hurt you with it.
