You don't play PLD do you?

While this post sounds well meaning there are a few things incorrect with your advice on playing PLD.

1. Only one PLD defensive cool down is based on your oath guage if you are MT, not all of them.

2. Cover should only be used in very specific situations and only if you are OT. It does not give any mitigation in it of itself.

3. It's probably better to use shelltron PLUS on of your other DMG mitigation cooldowns like rampart or sentinel for a tank buster if available rather than just shelltron alone.
