But theres an entire of segment of content that exists where only SCH have shields. And entire slew of content before that where theres a lack of non conj aoe heals. Between Quests, Fates, Guildleves, Company Leves, Hunt Log, Hunt Bill Marks, and Beast Tribes, most content is 1-49. Heck theres not even 59-70 adeventurer leves in the game skewing it even further in favor of lowbie.
Hey, did you know? Stoneskin was cross-classable, and availabe at what again? Early 30's? So basically exactly when needing shields becomes a thing. I got some of the old dungeons during leveling roulettes lately, and they have not been very fun without Stoneskin. But what do I even know, it's been a horrible skill anyway even in that content!
