[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5077123, member: 71571"] Do you guys even know what cover IS? Cover is a physical barrier between you and the target that can stop your mojo from affecting it, but not enough to completely protect them. Okay? Now... Superior Cover is... well... MOAR cover. It works by covering more of the target! So... cover is something that blocks shots... Enemies don't count as cover, because they don't block shots! That's easy! Allies count as cover because they will intentionally act as a barrier to block shots and attacks, with their parrying weapons and shields and mystic wards and stuff. That's easy! They, however, cannot act as superior cover because in order to do so, they have to actually get shot with stuff they can't block for themselves. In otherwords, they are gonna get hit instead. Some have the ability or power to take hits for their friends, but to act as superior cover, you have to be more than just a guy with a shield looking to stop stuff. What I find halarious, is the argument at all that allies, who are themselves not eager to be shot, could act as cover as effective as an immobile 10 by 10 brick wall. When your cover itself has a goal of surviving and not getting killed to death, relying on it to hold still for any reason is somewhat of a failure. Now... had anyone in this argument made a case for [i]concealment[/i] perhaps there'd be a different story. [/QUOTE]
