I was doing Labyrinth... two days ago? with an entire party of the Alliance being myself and my FC mates. And there was this tank that WOULD NOT stop trying to pry the boss off me.
This is a thing that happens to me all the time. I usually MT ST and OT LotA for simplicity, and lemme tell you as an i120 STR WAR, if I want hate, I'm gonna get it, and never once need to use provoke. All this said, there is always one tank who will spam Provoke every 40s if I'm MTing, which ultimately is fruitless cuz I can rip hate back with a Heavy Swing. It's cute the first couple times. It's annoying as all hell if it persists the entire dungeon every 40s versus bosses and the big trash in between.
It used to be, I'd just let them have it, but then without fail they'd either be unable to hold it against DPS who over-geared them or they'd turn the boss and cleave the raid. Both of which are unacceptable outcomes in my opinion. If you wanna tank, position it correctly and hold on. Otherwise I'm gonna take it and be done with it.
