Is cover REALLY nerfed, or nah?

Damage will probably be increased to match this trait. It's almost worthless, the only point of that is to reassure the overly defensive tanks that their 20% mitigation from old tanking stance is still there in some way. It'll also effectively make the other roles take more damage than before in case they take aggro (since they don't have this trait) but that's irrelevant.

Have they ever elaborated if they tune damage around tanks being in tank stance or tanks being in defensive stance? There may not really be that much of a difference.

In a sense though, since you generally wouldn't be using cover while in tank stance before anyway you still basically get the same amount of mitigation as before. you could potentially also cover with hallowed ground to completely negate a tankbuster or something I guess.

Cover + Sheltron was a thing, and it'll now cost the full meter instead of 50. It's still an unnecessary double nerf.
