    Provoke does have another use outside of it's intended enmity based ability; being our longest range ability, it can be used for getting the attention of enemies out of the range of Tomahawk/Shield Lob and bringing them within range [of Tomahawk/Shield Lob] faster and/or more safely. This was common to see in instances like Amdapor Keep pre-nerf with Succubi during the last third of the dungeon.
    On this same sort of note, I also use it on random mobs while I'm progressing through a dungeon to the next mob pack, while I still have a combo-ready Savage/Halone, in order to reach melee distance sooner. Sometimes this has made the difference between getting to start the fight with Savage/Halone, and running out of time and having to start a brand new combo.

    It's more of a finesse sort of thing than anything real vital though

    Another Provoke use: getting a long-distance pull on the first boss in Brayflox HM so that you don't lure that stupid monkey inside the boss room (assuming no one else in your group is proactive enough to pull the boss themselves)
