Paladin "Cover"

[ShaneDawn]

As said, it's very useful in fights like T13, pretty useful on A2S and good all-around if the healer/dps can take a lot of dmg.

Cover range is just a tas bit too short imo, as in pug parties your group can be all over the place to make actual use of it.

Well only works against physical attacks so no point on using it if we are being hit by magic and many AoEs are magic based. Also the range is super small so the person you cover have to be close to you. Most of the time Mages are out of the PLDs range.

I agree with this. Cover should have a longer range. cover is not practice on the field cuz it pretty much just force the party member to be close to the tank. IT would be a good thing to cover someone for 10 secs while bring/luring something /that's an idea/ or if they are getting ready to LB and the dps/healer is far away, you can't use cover if they are out of range.

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

"Halp! There's a Sims on me! Get it of! Get it off!"

While leveling a DRK first thing i missed was Cover, it has multiple uses from saving a person, delaying/skipping tank swap due debuff trasfer, cheesing a mechanic or when you just feel too lazy to provoke mob off from healer/dps. But yeah its kinda annoying/funny when you cover a person and they start to run away from you in panic, this happens alot in pvp and it also gets you killed insanely fast in there aswell.

This typical attitude of having ppl running for the person protecting them is somewhat unique to this game community. In other mmos, I haven't got those at least they are fresh new (in their lvl10-13) or they actually listen/run the party chat and go back if they are told to come back or stop running. /I'm just saying my opinion and what I experienced in this game/

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

Also if slapped with gaol, the PLD is also slapped with it..

[Chiramu]

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)

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

I agree, people really don't like to stand still in this game I have noticed. I can understand if you have to move from a mechanic, but when there is nothing happening they still running all over the show, its puzzling.

Problem with cover is the PLD is melee and the ones who benefit most always are healers and casters who stand well of out range...and most people don't see the tether and run away...i normally use it when i off tank to help lessen the damage to the main tank.
