    No, you just put blinders on. It's not because it's not called Cover that suddently "taking hits for someone else" is not the iconic PLD ability. And in case you wonder, Shake It Off, TBN, Divine Veil or the late Stoneskin are not the same thing as Cover strategically speaking.

    No, it's not. Cover is an action that redirects hits. Meaning it also redirects additionnal effects linked to those hits, which no other ability does.

    Yeah, almost like PLD was designed to bring something more valuable as an OT than a MT...

    Y: I usually compare FFXIV with a theme park, but the Forbidden Land of Eureka won’t be a place where everyone would want to go. For example, there are people who don’t want to go to horror houses because they don’t see the point in getting scared on purpose. For example, on a date, the boyfriend might want to invite the girlfriend to go the horror house, but the girlfriend just doesn’t seem to find it fun. In other words, it’s not like everyone wants to go to the horror house, but there are people who just love the adrenalin rush they get from it. Think of Eureka as something like that.
