The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why (Ver. 2)

CMy personal vote is stoneskin though. During combat that extra 10% is not worth the steep mp cost

Before they nerfed WHM's Stoneskin, there were definitely times it was worth it, usually on tank busters. Sometimes you still use it that way. I also use it when people have vulnerability stacks and an AOE is coming.

SE really dropped the ball with WHM and Stoneskin, though.
Let's math it out. Post iLevel 205, you're going to be doing 3400-3500 per cure. That's 400ish MP. The average Strength tank at that iLevel is around 17k, I believe? So with the nerfed SS, you're only getting 1.7K damage mitigation for 800 MP. Even with Graniteskin returned to us, you're getting the effect of one Cure I with your SS, but at twice the MP cost.

There was no reason to nerf WHM's mitigation, especially with Adlo as extremely powerful as it is and Astro able to do instant-shields for more than WHM can Stoneskin for, which are absolutely, undeniably useful, given both jobs can cast SS as well.
