    Ah, that's quite a different context to be using it in! That makes more sense than in a standard dungeon run. And it would be used sparingly, I assume, and not just their opening attack for every mob? So I guess other players have seen them doing it and copied the idea without understanding the actual purpose (or correct use of Provoke), and it spreads that way until all tanks think that's what they're expected to do when provoking....

    I remember when warriors used to overuse it along with ciuntdown and sound for each second.
