Loaded into Shiva for trial roulette. I examine the other tank as the new player views the cutscene.

Me: a 233 DRK with melded Horde Guillotine, current melded progression gear.

Him: a PLD in ~145 leveling gear.

I'm already in grit when we load in. I turn darkside on as the healers buff the party. He turns on Shield Oath.

As I'm headed for the boss and hitting it with my opener, he fires off a provoke which is utterly wasted as I move into the dark arts+power slash combo.

He proceeds to provoke. Every. Single. Time. It comes off cool down. Which is kind of hilarious because the provoke animation is more obvious now, and again pointless because I have Shiva back in two global cooldowns.

Ice soldiers spawn. He doesn't pick them up so I shrugged and grab them, too.

He keeps doing Rage of Halone and provoke when he's got it. We finish killing Shiva and I finally say in chat, "spamming provoke doesn't make you a main tank, [name]." Bow, goodbye, exit.
