What are your thoughts on this stoneskin change...

What was the reason they removed the 18% trait from whm anyway?

I think it was taken away due to people using it to shield through fights like Ramuh 1 tank. Lustrate and Stoneskins. They should have just made Stoneskin a potency like Lustrate.

I believe you're correct as to why they took it away. They could have changed it to a potency-based number rather than percentage, but it would've significantly lowered it's usefulness on tanks, which is what people use it for most. In fact, if it was potency-based, I wouldn't even bother with it at all.

I do think the trait for SS needs to be better for WHMs; the reduced cast time is nice, but it doesn't make it any more useful, really. What it needs to be changed to isn't my business, but I do think that the SS trait (and Medica trait) are both very lackluster in comparison to their previous traits.

the main reason seems to be that it was OP when used on npcs. 18% from like a million HP is extremely strong (though 10% is still quite powerfull)

18% or 10%, at 1mil hp nothing stops me from sitting there and spam stoneskin on the npc. Mainly on WHM where i can just ignore the npc completely and lol benediction and it will hold itself up for another 5 mins without healing.
