So does every hate new PLD now?

[Shurrikhan]

Maybe it'd be op but why not change cover into an ability like sages kardion?
You can heal your other tank instead as an off tank or swap it on to people to give them heals with your burst
cover is already so incredibly situational when intervention generally saves the player too without you taking full damage

I mean, it still doesn't really fix the simple fact that untimeable cure-ppgcd is, well, kinda boring. The only optimization available to it is to try to take sufficient damage before it starts going that it doesn't overheal. Remove half of even that component, though, and it's arguably even duller.

That is to say, if anything, the fact that our Req actions only heals us makes it more interesting than otherwise, since it gives us some added complexity to our swapping in and out of MT position, at least.
