I knew they were gonna tweak PLD a bit, but nice irl.

Cover

- Effect duration reduced from 20 to 15 seconds.
Divine Veil
- Recast time reduced from 120 to 60 seconds.
- Effect duration reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.
- Blocks all physical attacks from the front.
- Healing over time effect granted by Cure and Cura now stacks with the white magic spell Regen.
* Healing efficacy reduced in exchange for longer effect duration.
Spirits Within
- Recast time reduced from 120 to 60 seconds.
- Revised effect:
Delivers a high-accuracy melee attack at close range. Increased damage with greater current HP.
Combo Action: Phalanx
Combo Bonus: Increased enmity.
Divine Veil now useful! Maybe too useful?? Blocks all attacks from the front? So it's like the old school Aegis Boon of having frontal invincible for 20 seconds every 60? I wonder if that's a mistranslation because that's really good.
Adding enmity bonus to Spirits Within and doubling how often you can use it is great. If it's like Flat Blade's enmity bonus (damage x2) it'll be even more awesome because Spirits Within actually does decent damage. It'll give the hate of like 2-3 provokes all at once.
Being able to use Cover more often is great. FFXIV Cover is way better than FFXI cover. You only need to be within ability range of the person, not standing in front of them.

•An issue wherein the recast timer for actions was not functioning as intended.
* On rare occasions, recast time may still appear to be a few seconds longer than in actuality. This issue will be addressed in the near future.
Please please please let this be a fix for the goofy ass recast timers after changing classes.
