    The Lightning Fate's boss mob in Coerthas casts Stoneskin on himself. As far as I could tell, it blocked me from getting Astral Fire or Umbral Ice from hitting him from spells. I managed to almost solo him down despite that, but it was Scathe all the way and hitting him with well timed Blizz 3s between Stoneskin casts.

    There is this to consider as well. I was leveling Bard this weekend and you can't apply any debuffs on the mob if it doesn't do damage. I'm guessing if your spells are doing 0 damage it's plausible that you wouldn't gain any beneficial buffs as well.

    Same for monk. You can't change stances if your doing 0 Damage, so you basically stuck mashing the same attack until the stoneskin finally breaks. Its working by design, but I'm not sure if its well designed or not
