The mez from aggroing pretty much anything provoke hits can be quite annoying and dangerous at times, although a break free or two will do you wonders. It's up to you on this one, dude. You "can" tank with a Thermal and bodyguard will help out with that, but be sure to have some sort of protection handy in case the mez downtime is hazardous.
P.S., with shields and pet auras your pets will be hardy enough with the heals and defense you and the pets provide. All up to your priorities.
Well, I am playing Bots/Thermal atm, I am only L20, but I am wondering if it would be worth it to take provoke? I love it on my Bots/Traps, but that also provides me with nice mez prot which Bots/Thermal does not have :<
If I did go for the change I would drop the target heal, drop both shields (for now) Take Provoke, Tough, take maneuvers, Assault, Tactics
I plan to take acrobatics for some prot as small as it is though
Any advice on this or should I just stick with buffing pets and let them do the work this time? I am just worried about the no mez prot and how it would effect the build. TYVM
