I think the devs were right about Graniteskin personally. The issue is that the replacement trait was just garbage, they should have buffed something else.

I'm loving the Benediction idea. You can only really use it once or twice in a fight anyway, so it'd hardly be broken. And it would add a bit more skill to the ability other than *use it on someone dying and watch them die because lol animations.*

Personally I would have loved for healers to get some utility removed and for SE to actually make BRD and MCH less DPS oriented and give them pretty much all of the support moves. But I feel like it's a little too late and they'll never put in that much work to add a fourth role.
