Ok, i realize the behavior of Provoke in XIV is much different than was in XI. But to make sure I understand...

Me: Shield Lob > <t>
BLM: Fire III <t> (now has aggro)
Me: Provoke <t> (now I have aggro)

This is not accurate? Again I use provoke when I raid because there is always some noob prematurely nuking... Not routinely, for instance, when I do coil with my static...
