i enjoy playing gla/pld but my main concern and problem with pld is not really the dmg it takes or hate control, its the fact the it doesn't really have an ability to regen mp. gla can survive a bit better then pld due to the fact that use can use second wind, sanugine rite and featherfoot. in my opinion if SE made the cover ability better allowing it for example to regen mp and boost defense according to the amount of ppl covered, the more ppl covered (more mp regen and defense boost) Or another route could be to make outmanuvauer a trait and adjust the block rate and mp regen from it.
