Dealing with Midas NM derps

[Sida]

If you are paladin, and you see someone else than you (or especially, someone else than tank) is going to eat a tankbuster (the WHM in question) can't you use Cover for it, and then try to peel him of afterwards. Haven't really played paladin much but I've seen them using cover in midas lately. My favourite is those in M1 who hit it right after the MT has got the tankbuster debuff. The attack hits like a noodle to undebuffed OT. (Some tanks also manage to make a tank swap between the debuff and the hit )

Yes, Cover will work on any physical damage, but not magical. It can be difficult to differentiate between which is which, but when you're not sure then it's always better to use it and not need it than need it and not use it.

However, I've recently seen a post on reddit where use of cover resulted in taking double the damage in A8 so unless you're popping all of the cooldowns it'd be best to just avoid that whole scenario lol.
