A Memo About Clemency and Cover in Feast

[Alistaire]

Pld can use Cover a MAXIMUM of 4 times. That’s it. Just 4, and that's assuming they used their first use right at the start.

minor nitpick, that's not true.

Use it 1m30 in, then 3m30, 5m30, 7m30. 4 times, no rush for the first.

True. That's a good catch; though, it's it's still a limited use, and it is preferable to have as much flexibility as possible. Depending on if you actually need to use Cover or not, the times almost never work out that neatly. An early use is often guaranteed because of opening bursts, but after that it's up in the air.

Yeah mainly it's just "if a pld is gonna make use of it don't feel pressured to use it badly to use it 4x".

Agreed. It's hard enough for a Pld to know when it's a 'good' time to use Cover as it is, because burst can drop a target from 50% to 0 in the time it takes for the move to activate and Healers may or may not have oGCD's at the ready which make it redundant. So it would be bad to give people the wrong impression and make them feel pressured into using it for quantity rather than quality. I tried to get that across in the original post as well, when I said that it's not always the most beneficial move to use, but you're definitely right to reiterate the importance of that point. Pally is a tricky beast, so people gotta keep their heads when playing it just as much as their teammates do when playing with it.
