Protect question

I\\'ve just returned to playing the game after 7 months off and have a quick question regarding Protect. It used to be that WHM had superior Protect, is that still the case?

No, all Protects now give magic defense as well.

WHM is a superior caster of Protect. It's a whole two and half seconds faster for them to get out than any of the other healers.

Thanks. Did they change Stoneskin too?

Does not really make much of a difference though, as you usually only have to cast it once at the beginning.

Yes, they did. Graniteskin no longer exists; WHM instead has a shorter cast time for it. Proshell was actually replaced, not with a cast time reduction as mentioned above, but with Enhanced Medica, which gives a chance for your next Medica to cost half MP.

I'm sorry but, what are you talking about? All three healers cast Protect with a 3s base GCD, 2.5s recast.

Wurps. Mis-read the tooltip. It's late here.

Thanks for your help everyone :-)
