    Provoke Tooltip

    Can this PLEASE be changed to something that actually describes what the skill does?

    I constantly run into tanks who seem to think that this skill increases enmity like any another skill. I just got out of an AK run with a tank who would repeatedly use Provoke on enemies he had full enmity on whenever it came off cooldown. Tried to explain it to him and he told me to fuck off and that I was stupid...

    Not everyone Google's how to play their class, so the ones who aren't very... good don't seem to notice that Provoke isn't increasing their enmity.

    Just makes no sense to state that the skill increases enmity.

    EDIT: Lol, wrong place...

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    I said "Hey, how come you keep using Provoke?" in which he replied "Enmity" and I said "Oh. You know it doesn't actually generate enmity, right? The tooltip is wrong. All it does it put you 1 enmity above whoever has the most enmity, which is already you." and he replied "Fuck off" and went on to explain how a "shitty" BLM shouldn't be trying to tell pro tanks how to play their job despite the fact I play a tank, too...

    I could have added a few "excuse me" and some smiley faces, but I doubt it would have changed anything.

    Wrong place or not, that tool tip does need to be fixed. I had to go to an outside source to understand Provoke. I used to think it was a longer ranged shield lob/tomahawk that didnt cost TP.

    In that case he was just been an arse and you should blacklist and move on if he is on the same server if not be happy odds are you will never come across him again.

    Sometime I hit provoke while waiting 2.5seconds to do something else, kind like a filler for boredom and It looks nice.

    Sometimes I hit it to be adventurous and spice up my flash > 1 > 2 >3 > repeat combo (secret give us more skills request in disguise)

    You will probably find a lot of tanks do it for those reasons above, they should change the tool tip or make it do what it says on the tin.
