No, it is the reason that Provoke was changed to not work on S/A/B Hunt marks and FATE targets. During ARR's original release Provoke worked on FATE targets (and Hunt marks when those were later added in 2.2), but after a large number of publicized cases where Paladins and Warriors would use Provoke to reset nearly dead A and S ranks (Odin and Behemoth getting reset through Provoke shenanigans might have also happened) FATE Bosses and Hunts were made immune to provoke.
