    They have enmity-generating abilities because they're poorly designed and thought out. Marauder is a DD job, not a tank job, and yet the developers tried to stock it with tanking abilities instead of damage abilities.

    Right now Marauder is a better Gladiator subjob than it is a primary class.

    I will say that people grossly overestimate the worth of provoke and taunt in the game. They generate next to no real enmity. They are status effects that wear off quickly.

    Tank's ability bar should be chock full of instant abilities that don't take stamina, but DO crazily increase enmity. I don't even use provoke and taunt on single mobs to tank. You just use more profundity/dark seal/blood rite/raging strike/ferocity/hawk's eyes than anyone else.

    Why have profundity on your bar if you're not going to cast. DUH, for the free enmity!
