PSA: Cover changes that weren't in the patch notes

Cover now takes into account your defense, not the target's.

Rampart and Sentinel now work with Cover. I forgot to check, but I'm assuming (based on casual observation) that Shield Oath works as well.

Cover damage still bypasses Hallowed Ground.

Also, was the range always 10 yalms? It feels longer than it was - could be my imagination. Anyway, Cover is pretty okay now. I'd like the cooldown to be shorter, but at least it doesn't give you the defense of a white mage now.

The range change was in the patch notes (iirc it used to be 6y now its 10y). Nothing about the Defense changes, though.

Hotfix on Feb. 4th.

Ah, good call. I didn't check hotfix notes.

What do you mean by cover damage still bypasses HG? I can cover someone, pop HG, and not take any damage. It's how my static used to do turn 4.

OHH this skill is so much better now.

I've been using it alot since the hotfix do wish the range was longer though.
