Notes
- This ability allows you to take damage for a party member who currently has hate, as long as you are standing between them and the enemy.
- Offers a conundrum, because while you rapidly shed Cumulative Enmity, you serve your essential function as a tank, in that you take damage for others.
- +4 VIT gives 1 second duration, to a maximum of 15 seconds. Appears to start around 75 VIT.
- VIT gear must be kept on to receive extended Cover duration
- This Job Ability is expected to be re-worked in the July, 2011 patch.
- Rework makes Cover somehow modify the Enmity of the Paladin and the Covered player either directly (like Accomplice/Collaborator) or indirectly (Enmity+/Enmity-)
