I love this ability... Saved my *** so many times. Rangers are great, but their armor is made out of paper mache.

This is a 3 min cool down now, and also lasts 30 seconds. Please fix this

Cover duration with Gallant Coronet equipped extends it to 45 seconds.

I was relatively certain Cover lasted 30 seconds normally, not 15. I could be mistaken on this however.

o.O Not sure about Rampart, but Holy Circle, Cover, Sentinel, and Shield Bash have a 5 minute recast time, not 10.

Holy Circle, Sentinel, and Cover only lasts for 30 seconds, not 3 minutes...I -wish- it was 3 minutes.

(Posting this on all move forums in hopes the site gets updated.)

Actually, I am quite positive that Holy Circle is a 10 minute recast. This ability is exactly like Arcane, Ancient, and Warding Circle, except affecting only Undead types instead of Arcana, Dragon, and Demon types respectively.

This is a must for all parties with BLM's casting ancient magic. Ancient magic gives the mob immediate 150+ TP and if you're not under cover by a paladin (or blinked) you will take an immediate special attack. I learned that the hard way, sickle slashed in quicksand caves for over 500 damage, i'm a taru, i didn't have a chance.

Yeah i was gonna say with ninja you're fine to. I'm a 61 tarutaru ninja and I can easily cover a blm mbing freeze on a distortion skillchain using howling fist> dancing edge. The mob doesn't look twice just because the Thf SA TA onto me. So yes with a party not using a ninja and thf to SA TA off him a pld with cover is a must for using ancient magic.

Hate to break it to you, but its not the ninja you should be giving credit to there.

So can you only use cover on people in your group?
how this works
# Mar 12 2004 at 7:27 PM Rating: Decent
pally uses cover on a party member
says a message like "Paladin covers Thief"

then if the thief stands behind the paladin, the paladin takes the hits

though i have heard you cannot evade attacks while you're covering someone, though you can still block/parry attacks.. can anyone confirm this?

i have seen a PLD deflect attack with his shield while cover was in effect, so i would assume parry would work as well.

does anyone know if Cover will transfer the hate from the poor sap to the PLD, or is all the still there when Cover wears off?

The hate does not transfer. If cover wears off and the PLD has not successfully gotten back the hate, the mob still punishes the poor guy who was being covered.

I've most often seen this used to cover a low-def PC at the end of a high-damage skillchain (i.e. RNG). Cover buys time for the PLD to ready Flash/Provoke/Cure III and regain hate if that 1200 Damage Sidewinder at the end of the skillchain pulls the hate to the RNG.

cover is a 5 minute ability

delay 5 mins
duration 1 min

diverts attacks against 1 party member to pld. THE PARTY MEMBER MUsT BE BEHIND THE PLD FOR THIS ABILITY TO BE USED. when cover wears off, if the pld has not reagined hate, the person being covered will be the new target of monster aggression.
