"You are bad at using Provoke"

[Viridiana]

I'm saying that provoke can be an immediate pull because of how attacks can work. If you provoke that monster attacking a bard, it can start to run to you if it triggers an attack against you. It doesn't matter if the bard immediately pulls agro afterwards, it can still come after you until it has executed its attack.

On the opposite end, you could hit provoke after it queues an attack on the BRD, at which point it will continue chasing the BRD until it can hit him. If the BRD is kiting. . .well, good luck and have fun chasing him down. . .
