How would you improve the Paladin's Cover skill?

Yank a gap closer from intervene and throw it on Cover then. Done. Maybe even have them run on the same resource pool so you get the choice!

I know you can enable these devs to get a bit more creative in the job design. It was obviously very busted when it worked with Hallowed so we don't need to go back that far. Well, I say that, but Cover barely even blocks debuffs anymore so I don't know why they're so skittish about this skill in the first place.

Don't drool on your keyboard too hard man. I know you can enable these devs to get a bit more creative in the job design.

Holy sh**, no.

Why on earth would you put additional restrictions on the cooldown that currently shares a resource meter with two objectively better options (Holy Sheltron + Intervention) by making it work like PvP AND make it share uses with your normal gapcloser??

And Cover with exceptions you could count on two hands at most NEVER WORKED with Hallowed Ground. This was never an actual thing. It was strong because in Stormblood it was:
- only gated by a 120s CD and no gauge
- had 20% mitigation after damage redirection

They nerfed it by both putting a gaugecost on it and removing the mitigation, making it a hollow cooldown to use vs both Sheltron and Intervention.

I get your wish for more creativity, but your ideas are terrible man.
