Divine Veil's proc duration is 30s.

To my way of thinking, if you and your healers are skilled enough that you require zero healing for a full 30 seconds, then you ought to be skilled enough know when the best time to use the ability is (when you're guaranteed to be getting healing...)


Converting it to a Fey Covenant rip-off would actually be a direct nerf, since the abilities have the same recast time but Divine Veil will cover physical and magical damage whereas Fey Covenant will not, and Divine Veil is calculated by the PLD's HP whereas Fey Covenant actually provides very little mitigation for your physical DPS as their magic defense stats are not high enough for a 20% increase to be a big deal, at least in comparison to what DV offers. So basically you'd be shafting the people in your party that stand to benefit most from DV over FC. Shield-based mitigation is head-over-heels better than stat-based % mitigation in most cases. This is probably why us tanks don't really have cooldowns like this, as our HP stats would make them brokenly powerful. (Shadeshift or Mana Wall on an i270 tank right now would be nearly an 8K physical damage shield, more with party VIT buffs/food/etc).

Look at it this way; if you could, wouldn't you much rather have Shadeshift or Mana Wall as a CC ability than Foresight? PLD wants DV over FC, trust me.
