Kneejerk reaction to PLD changes.

There is no flaw in the logic.

Right now, OTs in Sword Oath that Cover get 20% mitigation from Cover itself.

In future, OTs that Cover will get that 20% mitigation because they have it already in their traits.

All enemies will just have their damage scale upward to compensate. Its like raising minimum wage, everything else goes up in price.
Also, you forget current tanks can put up tank stance, and use cover for 40%~ mitigation.
So the future 20% mitigation is still less.
(Not that I care if cover has mitigation on it or not)

To give another example, current tanks have increased HP and defense compared to other jobs.
Does this mean the current cover also adds HP and defense?

SE is going to balance damage given to future tanks, as if thier -20% dmg taken, was the standard non mitigated damage. So its the same thing as not having any built in mitigation, other than non tanks getting hit harder than a tank, which shouldnt happen outside of raid wide dmg anyways.
