Provoke

Job Ability[edit]

Upon usage, a large amount of time-volatile enmity (enmity that decays over time, but not with damage taken) is added to the user.
- The amount of enmity added decays by 1/30 per second. After 30 seconds, all enmity gained from Provoke will have worn off.

In Ballista and Brenner, this ability temporarily makes you the opponent's target and prevents them from switching targets (which also prevents the opponent from using any self-cast abilities or spells).
In Besieged (And possibly other areas), provoking a charmed person puts them to sleep.
A Puppetmaster's Automaton can use this ability by having a Strobe equipped and a Fire Maneuver in place.
Provoke is NOT affected by Charisma.
