Stoneskin II

[Sapphic]

There's no reason to ever not stoneskin everyone. It lasts long enough that everyone is bound to make use of it, and it frees up a gcd that would otherwise go to healing the damage it blocked. Or better, improves survivability during a section of a fight that brings people dangerously close to death.

So you use 4 GCDs to save 1? Ok........

1 Succor is more effective than Stoneskin on the party, uses 1 GCD and a lot less mana.

Pretty much, it does seem like some people are making it a "WHM should be better because SCH smells bad" thing when they were made by SE themselves to complement each other.

WHM is betterthan SCH, for somethings. Yet SCH are better than WHM too.

I do find SCH a lot more interesting to play due to their greater flexibility than WHM, also I do a little cheer inside when I get paired with a WAR in DF XD Dem 2k crit adlos ftw! So much easier to heal WAR with SCH than WHM (and in reverse for PLD).

Don't be obtuse. GCD's before the pull and after the pull are of completely different value.

What else are we gonna use it on? Surecast? SCHs are healers and should do their full preventative abilities when on a team. That means Stoneskins. Even WHMs do not feel like pushing the button eight times and SCHs shouldn't make them.

Proper crossclass skills are: Stoneskin, Protect, Aero, Cleric Stance, Swiftcast.
