Please replace Cover with something useful

[Shuon]

Also how is it anything like a backup provoke?

because it allows you to take damage in anoyher person's place even though you dont have a higher amount of enmity. if you were freshly raised and voke is not up, is there a better alternative than cover?

and re distance, it is called cover for a reason. alluding to ffxi, pld had to be in front of a another member before Cover is effective, because you are suppose to cover another member from incoming damage.

again, this is situational, and probably will never come to use if you are in a perfect party where no signs of danger ever surfaces - but the same could be said abt provoke, benediction, second wind, thrill of battle etc because they are all oh-shit-this-situation-aint-good skills
