Provoke in PvP

Tachys · 07-02-2009, 10:50 AM

Can you use provoke to change the active target of another player?

Inambour · 07-02-2009, 11:25 AM

Lazy answer : No

Long answer : See this post : Provoke.
Provoke only adds some hate on the mob you are currently targeting. No effect in pvp

You'd be surprised how much this question is asked, in just about any MMO.

But yes, as Inambour said: No. Provoke is for PvE only.

Steb Starwin · 07-06-2009, 12:00 AM

I concur, and FFXI for Brenner and Ballista.

yea, i honestly dont see the harm in being able to use it to change your target's target to you... at least the amount of time it takes them to correct could make a big difference on the battlefield.

Pretty sure it works on SM pets, which I guess could come in handy to some degree.

Inambour · 07-06-2009, 07:00 AM

Well just like it worked on hunter's pet in WoW.
Just before getting in a trap => AoE taunt on him.
Probably works the same.

yea I dont get why they dont implement that...

it would actually make tanks useful in group pvp except for the grab thingie <.<

worked nice in L2, untill everyone got boss jewels

wrong, in fact, my bet is that any cloth is 1st on that hate list followed by any healer, followed closely by any leather wearer. You, as a tank, are last on the list.

I agree with this. The healer should be first to be targeted followed by any other clothie

I agree, tanks are always just ignored because it's so hard to kill them until healers are gone. It would be interesting if there was a skill that made players attack you instead of them being able to just run past you to kill the healers.
