Stop telling Tanks not to use provoke there is a place to use it when pulling mobs.

[Krindor]

People seem to forget that when it comes to long range pulling WAR can easily use a provoke + equilibrium for a really strong pull, this can even be used in raids. When overhealing equilibrium aggro works the same as overhealing with any other spell, same with second wind. This causes it to generate 1200 worth of potency, might or might not be affected by defiance. If you don't trust me provoke a dummy and then use equilibrium and then ask someone else to hit it and see how long it takes until it loses aggro.

Am I missing something here?

Equilibrium generates a huge chunk of enmity due to the healing. It's not a life-steal so it works.

Though you have to make sure that you won't need it in the next minute.

Ok, so why would he use provoke first, that's why I'm confused. Equilibrium only would generate one less enmity.

When you provoke, you get the whole pack at a bigger distance than what a tomahawk/lob/whatever would. Then equilibrium gets the enmity. The aim is to provide a ranged alternative to facepull/flash. I use it often when I want to avoid too much moving for my dps

edit : not that it's a great idea or anything. It's just a comfortable ranged pull for dungeon packs
