Yeah it's been known that something is screwy with Cover for a while but I don't think anybody has been able to pin it down enough or test it enough to make a proper bug report with SE to get it fixed, probably because in practice Cover isn't really used all that often.

I've heard all sorts of things from Cover makes you take damage unmitigated, Cover makes you use the defense values of the person you're covering, to Cover makes damage mitigation work backwards and Shield Oath/Sentinel/Rampart/etc boost the damage you take. I've seen a screenshot of somebody taking something like a 15,000+ damage Mountain Buster (back before Titan Extreme was added).

That's two screwed up abilities Paladin has. I don't think I've touched Awareness since we figured out it blocks critical cures. Monsters barely critical hit ever (you might see it once or twice in a big fight) and yet critical healing matters a ton to both end-game WHM and SCH.

Re-checked the patch notes, I guess you're right, it says they fixed it.

It's still a terrible ability.

It'd be much better if it was at least possible to tell that it blocked a critical hit for you.

Yeah, not bad to pop as you run in though, to avoid damage spikes while getting inital aggro :p

Well nice to know awareness is fixed, might put it back on hotbar to just use whenever off cooldown then, also where were my heals - are we only using eos these days in turn 4 :p (j/k)
