So.. Paladin!

New cover will work nicely to those shared cleaves from boss

I wonder if you can combo Cover with PoA... who needs healing when you have overkill defence :3

Cover is actually interesting in regard to self mitigation.

I did some testing and it seems the target's mitigation(tank stance, cooldowns) will not apply to the PLD. If this continues in 4.0, Intervention + Cover cannot be combined to any useful effect. Cover will have a natural 20% mitigation of course, but if the PLD wants more, they'll have to pop a cooldown themselves. It's unclear if the target's blocks/parries/shields will apply to the PLD and/or if the PLD can block/parry/benefit from shield either as I forgot to test that.

We've been able to proc block/parry by covering a target for a while now. What Cover does is change the target of a hit from the original target to the tethered paladin.
