Stoneskin II

[Sapphic]

Since people here are so adamant that there is no need for SCH to Stoneskin a raid before a fight, I shall not Stoneskin a raid before a fight anymore when on SCH. Thank you for opening my eyes, forum people.

Let the PLD do it ^^ Shields for the same.

The cast time and mana cost are exactly twice what they are for SS.
And I still need swiftcast to get it off before someone pulls in Syrcus Tower.

Incorrect, it is much cheaper as you have to multiply the cost of single Stoneskin by the number of people you are buffing.

I main SCH on my alt, and tbh, very rarely use SS on 4 peep anyways, fey illu+crit adlo on tank pre pull, for large pulls eye for an eye, gives me plenty of time to SC shadowflare, dot and bane, pop rouse and ruin spam a bit. Top up when needed.

WHMs are top for AE healing, SCH are top for single target and flexibility. So making AE SS WHM only, to me makes sense. Albeit, if they added for SCH I wouldn't object Then again, I wouldnt miss it either if they don't.

Also, no. Why? Because they are two different things. Stoneskin II doesn't heal at all. Succor isn't just our QOL buff. It's literally our only aoe heal.

Fey Illumination+Rouse+Whispering Dawn+succor can quickly top up the party for AE plus the added shield from fey illu buffed Succor. Albeit not as good as Divine Seal+medica 2 or Cure 3. But WHMs biggest strength is Party AE heal anyways.
