Paladin "Cover"

[dekal]

I like cover skill cuz, in another mmo, as a PLD tank (support oriented)I got to use cover skill, but in the other mmo it was called sacrifice. It would last 30 secs on lvl 1 and would increase the duration time up to almost 2 mins on lvl 6 sacrifice. That was a Paladin Pure support class. Paldin class was able to become pure dmg/support/ or hybrid.

I really like using cover given the situation arises when its worth doing haha. Never use it regular mob pulling unless someone is close to death for some reason (which is rare since being a tank is all bout making that not happen).

Often times I find myself using it when a member (often healer) is down to a sliver of health about to die usually from a mess up on dodging aoes or say boss mechanics that catch them off guard. Feels good being able to save someone with it haha. Though will say I'd imagine I've only really saved someone 2-3 times out of the probably 50 times I've used it, but it does give a nice breathing room to anyone who is almost dead to relax a bit knowing they're covered.

Will say I only used cover terribly once during a ultros/typhon fight where his aoe stacked with the person I was covering doubling up the damage on me leading to death (as mt), and as a result a chain reaction of the plague enveloped everyone until we wiped completely soon after haha.

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

cover was useful in T13

When I get covered I usually can't keep the blush in and run away. LOL. Joking. Kinda. Well, anyway Cover is one of the few things I miss from playing Paladin. I'd like to see it more used too.

I saved someone's life in Snowcloak with Cover once, on the last boss of the dungeon. Some dude failed to hide behind the pillar in time, and I instinctively clicked Cover as fast as I have ever done in my entire life. He took no damage from the following pounce attack the boss does.

I felt so damn pro.

I use cover a fair bit as well, for example when melee DPS go to LB. However, I do wish it would have longer range. There's been times I've tried to cover a ranged dps/caster and wouldn't have time to run to them, pop cover, and have the effect apply in time for the hit. Aside from that it's a nice skill to have.

...Am I the only one using this skill?

I like to use it very much, when a member is going to take unavoidable dmg but I don't have cover as a tank, I feel so helpless.
However, eveytime when the boss dies but the cover still active, I feel the link between us are too sweet and very embarrassing ^^;

I mainly use it to cover the healer if they pull agro, or if they are mana bombing a whole lot of adds. Occasionally I'll use it on the other tank If I'm OT and their hp drops low, however I'm rarely healed when I do.
