Talk:Provoke

Provoke and You
As a Warrior, it is part of your job to save lives. (Not all of your job mind you, you can still by all means be a damage dealer.) With higher DEF, VIT, and HP than other jobs, you are a defender. Now, in battle, every action a player does in battle, adds hate to his/her "hate meter". The player with the most hate is attacked by the monster. As you can imagine, hitting for 20 damage wouldd generate more hate than hitting for 4. (The same applies to healing.) So how do you keep your beloved mages and other fragile party members from certain death when they're hitting/heal endlessly? That's where the blessed ability, Provoke, comes in. When you use Provke on a monster, it adds quite a bit of hate to you, usually enough to have the monster attack you. Don't worry, your healers will keep you alive, but with all that healing, they will get some major hate. So you have to keep Provoking so everyone can stay alive.

Your Provoke Macro
So, having trouble targeting the incoming monster while the puller is bringing it to camp? Don't worry, it's a problem all Warriors face at one time or another. The simple solution is using . Clueless?  makes you automaticly highlight the hostile monster. (The one with it's name in red.) With , you have plenty of time to Provoke, and draw your weapon. So, your Provoke macro should look like this:

/ja "Provoke" 

It should look exactly like that. Yes you have to capitalize P, yes you have to use quotes. With that being said, happy Provoking!
