Stoneskin in battle?

[Ghishlain]

If a player needs an HP buffer to survive an attack, Stoneskin will help for that. Usually best to be used on players who are weakened to hopefully increase their odds of survival until the debuff wears off.

Also, any time you know a tank buster is going to come out. The more buffer you give your tank, the more comfortable you and your tank will feel.

This is the biggest thing. A4's The Manipulator charging up Discoid? Get Stoneskin on your main tank, 'cause you want them as far out of the danger zone as possible.

Depends. I for example always use it on me and the other healer when ever a boss is going to cast it's ultimate attack.

Keeping myself and the other healer high on hp after a massive boss ultimate blast on the entire party let's me and the other healer the chance to heal the party and not have to worry about healing ourselves first then the party.

This, really, except I keep it on us the entire run if I can. MP taxing, yes, but it saves me the cost of a res if it comes to that.

Or if your MT is a PLD, yell at him to at least cast SS on himself every now and then esp while the boss is charging his tank buster. It's like having an extra layer of fending accessories right off the bat.
