Provoke - Is it necessary?

[abzoluut]

Glad to know Provoke is actually worth something later on. So far it has been a worthless skill on both my Glad and War because it is pathetic. On the few times I use it and follow up with a throw or Halone I still don't actually get the aggro because god forbid the players have a dot on the mob. I would have liked to see provoke work more like other games so that for a couple of seconds the aggro is locked on you regardless.
The fact its only real purpose seems to be for tank swap kind of suggests the skill needs a bit of work

That would be too easy. Now you have to have some synergy with the group. When you provoke, it puts you +1, so either have BB/RoH pre-charged, or have dps or other tank stop for one attack. Can't go wrong there.

If provoke was just a button press and nothing more to it, then it would be a worthless skill.. There has to be some in-depth.
