    Paladin "Cover"

    How come I never see anyone use this skill? I use it all the time and it alleviates a lot of stress of the healers. I've gotten really good at using it and I get a lot of comments about what skill was that, clever idea, and even some people freak out that there's a mysterious green chain on them and run around like nuts lol.
    Am I the only one using this skill?

    you just don't notice when good PLD use it. I usually cover the healer or a dps that can KO the last boss, but the healer don't notice my cover and I end up dying . After those experience I just use it if I think I can survive getting dmg+the person I am using cover (dmg)

    This is the problem - you have to survive the damage. I've used it and ended up dying instead myself.

    cover by itself is not the problem, but not teaching other players playing other roles that PLD is there to use skills like cover

    PLD also use Cover on the MT in Titan EX to take a stack without tank swapping as well.

    that is the normal thing to do, but how can u " not let other party member get hit" when there's an aoe? and dps keep standing on aoe detonators? and that debuff not just u the tank but the other party members standing close by cover is a nice skill to use in those certain moments

    Because people who don't know about it will run away the instant they see they have a tether attached to them.

    Fun fact about Cover: If the guy you are covering gets hit by Titan's Landslide you get to fly!
