Stoneskin II

In order to eliminate this problem, but to also adhere to the idea the it should not be overused in battle I would suggest that the spell be given a long recast timer or to add an ability that would make any spell an AOE spell, as was used in 1.0. I would welcome any type of work-around for this spell in order to incorporate the use of it during battle.

Works just fine as is. The way I see it is that it's so powerful, a white Mage won't be able to cast it in the heat of battle because they will lose focus. So they can use it outside as a means to prepare. Works just fine. Leave those abilities you mentioned for higher level caps.

I play every class at 50 and have a very full understanding of how WHM works. There is no point in adding this ability except to speed up pre engagement times, which is counter intuitive to what a battle class is supposed to be. Might as well just remove it.

How is it counter intuitive? It's specifically a spell to speed up runs. It's working as intended. I don't understand your argument here.

So are you also pissed that paladins can't raise during battle?

Nobody is talking about Paladin. Quit trolling.

But it's a battle class? Or do you consider that as a gathering class?

They gather the enmity of their enemies, yes.

His point was that there already is atleast one class that cant use all of its skills in combat.

You say it makes no sense but we are talking about a healer here, and this is a protective spell. It makes sense that they won't be able to channel its energy in the heat of battle due to how powerful it is; haven't you seen movies like LoTR and other fantasy books/movies? The wizards and sorcerers who use healing magic participate in battle but they heal outside the battle too.

It is the only ability/spell in the game that cannot be used by its main job/class in battle. That is a design flaw.
