Paladin Cover Ability - Do you use it?

[Truefaith87]

My pld is only 40, but i made a macro for that one moment where you know someone is gonna take hate, <tt> macro for cover to save their squishy little behinds ftw.

I used that... once... on Chimera

[YuiKitahara]

as healer i got cover several times in wp sr, sometimes it really helps >_<

[Alwryn]

I have never used cover, don't even have it on my bar anymore.

Cover is pretty awful overall, but there's a few places where it's okay. It'd be a lot better if it took the paladin's mitigation into account. There was a post on the Japanese forums about how in the future they might possibly improve the graphics of it to better let people know when they're covered (or they'd bring it up to the dev team or something), so hopefully they'll take another look at how the skill works then.

That would make it more fun, aye - say, the person being covered is limned in a beautiful golden nimbus of light; or the Paladin gets to strike an awesomely inspiring "Shield Up!" "I'LL PROTECT YOU CITIZEN!" pose...

Yeah so what actually is up with Cover's current animation? The paladin grabs his face and kind of waves his hand toward the covered target. It's all weird.

It's one of those tools that can really help but they're extremely situational. Adding a macro to it helps, so people know they're covered before they start sprinting around while panicked. xD

I use it on our DRG when he takes the Rook on Turn 4 before LB'ing it.

Other than that I don't think I've ever put it to good use.

Rarely, some times after a res if I'm the off tank. Can use it in pvp to give your healer some breathing space.

Extremely situational ability.
