    If the only "opportunity cost" to having used something is that now you've used it / its recast timer... is that really worth calling an "opportunity cost"?

    But fair enough, Cover doesn't need an opportunity cost.

    That said, I don't at all want Cover (at least as it is now / as an active skill) on the other tanks.



    P.S.
    I thought they removed the bonus mitigation because they, as earlier promised, finally figured out how to get it to properly mitigate the transferred (including via the 20% Tank Mastery), which is right up there with Intervention (but with longer DR reducing total party damage taken between you two, at least on non-tank Cover targets, and no self-heal).
    • Heck, if it also counted prior mitigation before the transfer, then, you effectively have even more than that original 20% now (via up to double TM and double Fending Armor) which Intervention wouldn't be able to equal without 2 added CDs.

    • If that's not the case, and we can't actually benefit from at least the difference of Fending Gear and Tank Mastery vs. our target's mitigation, the cost has definitely got to go.
    • Even if we do benefit from it, though, I do think that's a perk worth keeping on PLD at just a 2-minute CD and would rather feel more obliged to use it on CD... assuming we ever get any threatening single-target damage that's not just on tanks anyways.
    • Would also take the cost and have a 1-minute CD, though. Either way.
