Decided to go as SCH to ST yesterday for my weekly quest chain. Was in there with another SCH. I don't think they had Stoneskin, not once did they cast it. Just me. Same with an expert run yesterday, went as PLD. Had a SCH heals in teh group...again I did the SSing. I don't know if the new "idea" is that it's not necessary or what but it seems lazy to me.
