I understand PLD has Cover that other tanks don't. So that should make up for the lack of a gap-closing action. If only Cover is as fun as leaping swiftly forward. As of now, half the time I try to use Cover my target, usually the healer – a caster, tends to be far away and thus out of range.

WHM's Medica which spread-out has a radius of 15 yalms. Cover is focused and only has a range of 10 yalms. Doesn't it make more sense that a focused beam of aether should go farther?

So I won't ask for a gap-closer. I just want Cover to be effective within 15 – 20 yalms.
