Specific Paladin Buff/Change Suggestion

[TouchandFeel]

Once upon a time, Cover was good, not anymore.

The diminishment of Cover to something so niche it is basically non-existent as part of the kit has rankled me for a while. Asides from the ability to use white magic, Cover is the iconic ability of the classic Knight/Paladin job in the Final Fantasy series and it is sad that it has essentially been tossed in the corner and forgotten instead of being a discernible part of PLDs' kit.

I think they should remove the Oath cost on it, reduce the cooldown to 90s and increase it's range slightly to 12y like other proximity tether buffs or potentially even more since abilities like Intervention have ranges like 30y. Maybe even add back some mitigation to it now that Intervention and the defensive utility abilities of the other tanks were made so strong in Endwalker. It really should be an ability that you want to use when you can in place of Intervention, paired with Holy Sheltron and/or other defensives to greater effect.

Along with the Cover changes I would also like to see Passage of Arms have its recast changed to 90s. It would make very little difference in usage of the ability due to the way it functions but it would then have all 3 of the more "unique"/"quirky" PLD abilities on the same 90s recast which would match with the 90s recast of the other tanks unique extra defensive abilities (Thrill of Battle, Camouflage) and partywide defensives.
