I am proud to say that my GLD is still only lvl 22 cause I like having Provoke. I didn't give a crap what people thought, I was playing WAR and getting taken to Coil. (T1, but hey, I've been!) And you can't really compare the 2.0 situation between PLD/WAR to the one in 1.0. People take WAR to T5 of coil and tank with it now. People didn't take PLD in 1.0 because they didn't have the dmg OR mitigation that WAR did. Now they'll be more similar.
