I'm a 50 WAR/17 GLA. I've been tanking since August without using Provoke. I've tanked every dungeon up until 2.1 except Aurum Vale, without Provoke. From 2.1, I've tanked Pharos Sirius and maintanked Crystal Tower, without Provoke. Now, however, I'm being told that for the hard mode dungeons and for extreme mode primals and, especially, for Binding Coil, I MUST have Provoke.

My question, then, is why is Provoke so necessary? And, if it's that necessary, why is it only GLA/PLD that receives it through straight levelling? In the past, when there's been a discrepency between the classes (Hallowed Ground being used to avoid mechanics, 20% damage reduction VS 15% heal bonus), Warriors have received a buff to more or less equate the two classes (Holmgang will not drop below 1HP, heal bonus up to 20%). Therefore, if Provoke is absolutely necessary for tanking, why does the WAR not receive a similar move?
