cover skill question

[crono]

i have the skill, though i havnt really used it yet, and i was wondering what it does exactly.

when i cover someone, does just one hit that they take become directed towards you, and then the effect wears off?

thats what it seems like for me.

Ah, u must be talkin' about the move called "Taunt" it is very useful when u r trying to protect a Mage or a freind...... it directs the enemies attacks to you for about a whole minute.

-peace out-

The cover JA gives the PLD the ability to receive all physical damage a mons is dishing out on a PT member for x amount of time. The catch is you (PLD) have to get in between the mons and the PT member you are covering.

x amount of time is(never actually timed it but I think these are close)...
10 second base
20 seconds with AF
Save the Queen sword adds +1 to cover..but I really don’t know what that does.

The important thing to remember is you have to be in between the mons and your PT member. Usually the PT members realize they need to move behind you, but if they don't then you got to unlock and get in position.

Cover does not build hate so during that time period, do what ever is necessary to pull the mons so when cover wears off you can move back to position..and the mons follows.

ah, thank you daigoro ^^
you totally answered my question

[Ashaa]

say true, this ja is a bit useless....the duration too short =(
it is only useful while the Thief failed his Side Back Stab and the mob hits him....but the problem is, the one who got attacked should give u some space to step in between him and the mob, it is a bit hard for me, Galka =P
