Maybe it's not *literally* the way they expect you to handle busters, but if you're stupid like me and only realize your stance has been off the entire time up until the poor BLM is about to get blasted out of orbit by Valigarmanda, a well-timed Cover can save them (and your dignity) from sudden death.


I also like to use it when I notice we have a struggling sprout or, if we're about to eat a vuln stack and Cover can absorb it, I'll always choose a healer to save them from it. 2 vuln stacks is usually nothing for a tank, but a vuln stack on an already struggling healer can get spicy.


The difference between Cover and Intervention is that sometimes, unless you have the time to pop a Clemency and the Intervention on top, there is no way to save that player unless you eat that damage yourself. Often times, you won't even have the time to cast the Clemency in my experience so I always go straight for the Cover if I have it available.
