cheating onsal pallies

[Rueby]

Dude, I expected the pvp balance for 6.2 to address this but it's apparent they're blind to feedback. (that or JP community didn't qq about it enough because only then they'll listen)
If they wanna keep this garbage then allow all classes to be able to somehow counter it in some way. It's not fun.

Sorry for double post but a simple fix to this would just be 'Paladins who use cover cannot use guard.'

i disagree. bandaid fix (or maybe permanent) should be just transfer 99% damage to paladin. that 1% should be enough to trigger the interrupt. i dont think how it functions should really be changed. the flag capper just needs to be interruptable is all and it appears to be based on damage. i dont know though i dont work there or program the game so i cant be sure. PLD should still be able to guard or LB their cover target so the PLD itself can avoid the damage if they want to,

this also works. /nod

FIX. YOUR. GAME. SE.

THIS IS PATHETIC THAT THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT STILL.

I'm pretty sure it also works in Seal Rock, allowing you to capture the Tomeliths while everyone is fighting over them.

I have not seen any pallys do that so at all in Sieze, probably because they would only be able to unclaim a node once it was claimed lol

Yeah it's not as helpful in Seize because as the post above said, tomoliths can be retaken.

It's more situational. Like let's say two teams are fighting on a node and it's kind of a stalemate and no one is able to claim the tomolith without getting interrupted. A PLD with cover could break that stalemate and turn that tomolith to their side. It would keep giving points to their team but if they lose the team battle they'd lose the tomolith.

So it's effective, but not as effective as Onsal.

please permaban all paladins exploiting cover in onsal thank you

Just because you think they are exploiting?
Paladin cover is working as intended, this is the threat created on May 2022 by Japanese and now it is moved to working as intended:

I do see that but the game is not made by Enlgish and English team is merely a customer service to provide feedback to JP primary team
The fact it is sitting there since April while JP one is submitted in May and already moved to Work as Intended for a while (it is on JP Work as intended, page 2 near bottom, it means it is there for a while)
Various JP FF14 related media and site already announced this to their audience that Guardian is working as intended as well
Trust me, this is finalized
