Why having a dedicated MT and dedicated OT is a TERRIBLE idea

[Izsha]

Point. Missed.

Cover (the iconic part) is literally placing yourself between the monster and the party member (redirecting). I dont ness a history lesson on cover.

But what is its FUNCTION. the reason you use cover is to protect a single ally from damage. That's why you use it in every FF ever. You know what else protects an alliance from damage? Tbn. See that? Different ability. Same function.

IB is a readily available short duration mitigation tool. But it does it in a War way by unleashing the beast, bypassing tank penalty, healing the user, etc all war traits. Shelltron serves the same function by doing a very pld thing. Using their darn shield and generating mo and swipe procs. Tbn, etc. 3 job specific unique actions that serve the same function.

Cover is an iconic pld action who's purpose is to protect an ally. War, drk and GB can EASILY have unique ways to also protect a single target that is not literally jumping in front of them like cover.

Sheesh people. This isnt rocket science.
