Stoneskin II

[DoctorPepper]

I have to agree with the OP, this QoL change should be given to SCH as well. Since it's only castable outside of battle and the only time a SCH would use it is when there isn't a WHM in the party I don't see how it would hurt anybody. SCH stoneskin is still weaker due to the lack of stoneskin trait so why not improve the quality of their lives to?

Scholars get an upgrade to their skill set EVERY single time the item level goes up. Lustrate is based on total hps. Cure II, III, Medica, Medica II, etc nothing goes up like that. Our skills are locked down to our stats.

Last I checked WHM gets an ability called benediction that's a 100% heal regardless of stats but ok.. To me that means if the person you're healing has more hp then you're healing them for more. Whm also gets regen and an AoE mass heal + regen that stacks with the ST regen. Calling SCH OP in comparison to whm is silly in my opinion, the jobs are very balanced at the moment in my opinion.

This is a QoL change for healers so they don't have to single target Stoneskin everybody in the party, I would agree that SCH shouldn't get it if it were useable in battle but it's not.

Last I checked benediction is not based on your stats, if you're comparing lustrate (SCHs version of benediction essentially) to anything aside from benediction then in my opinion it's an unfair comparison.

Last I checked Lustrate didnt have a 5 min Cooldown

Last I checked the overall healing potency of medica 2 is 700 potency per player (200 pot from initial heal and then an additional 500 pot over 30s), but what do I know. Benediction should definitely have a shorter CD, then WHM can have the best instant and the best potency cure and AoE cure in the entire game.

Plus, a good SCH doesn't spend all of their aetherflow on lustrate, there are other abilities that require it, like sacred soil, bane and energy drain. Only a terrible SCH is going to blow every stack of aetherflow on lustrate.

Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against whm and I play both jobs. That's why they seem pretty even ended in my opinion, I'm just disagreeing with people who are essentially calling SCH OP when it is very much not.
