Greetings,
This is my first time posting here. Anyway, I looted a +5 to take cover armor attachment. I was under the belief it was very useful to rifleman in PvE. Posted on the trade forums of my server for a price check, I was told its a useless broken statand its thus worthless. I figured it would make sense to ask the riflemen. so, is it worth anything at all? and no, this isn't a WTS post, I'm just looking for some information 
thanks.
thanks.

It may or may not be broken (the attachement ) but the skill is not as useful as it may initially seem. Take Cover allows for increased ranged defence vs your current target (only) at the cost of most of your mobility. So it is not that useful to rifleman and therefore is less valuable then you would imagine. With the loss of mobility and the speed of melee mobs - using the skill in most circumstances is suicidal.

The skill used is called "Cover". "Taking Cover" doesn't do anything.

Assuming they do anything at all, here is what they would do:
Cover- Gives added defense when in 'cover'.
Take Cover- Improves the chances of successfully getting intothe 'covered' state.

exactly - they are part of the same skill set - but as I said - why would you ever be in the position to need to use that? ^_^

I recently got a Taking Cover +8 AA. Was sad to see such a high AA for a useless mod. 
Too bad it wasn't rifle speed instead.
