Ravana EX, Cover, double prey

[aerolol]

Just had an idea about double preys...

I believe it's common knowledge that PLD can "cheat" the double prey Physical Vulnerability Up debuff inflicted by the 1st hit of the double Prey on Ravana Ex with Hollowed Ground, therefore being able to solo-handle both hits of the prey without having to grab or pass it to another party member.

Would it be possible for, say, have the PLD and OT (or whomever other has the prey mark) to stand near each other, PLD uses HG and covers other person marked with prey... Would that avoid both Phys Vuln debuffs?

Then PLD and other person runs opposite directions just to avoid being hit twice for that huge AoE that follows the debuff (which has not been applied to neither target due to HG and cover)



I know it's possible to do something similar in Titan Ex, if you are a PLD OT and cover MT before Mountain Buster, you get the vulnerability stack instead of MT, and MT's stacks fall off when its timer reaches 0, which should be just after the mountain buster hit.

The only way this would not work is if the first hit that applies the Phys Vuln debuff is magical and is not affected by Cover, which I don't think is the case, but who knows...

I'm gonna try that whenever i get the chance, but if someone has tried that and can share the results, it'd be much appreciated.
