Is this proof enough that this ability is useless? ( Divine Benison )

Hmm?

Yeah, and if they're losing 15% of their health standing in stuff, they're doing it wrong.

They where not "standing in stuff" it is a single frame, those moves with the ground indicators just appeared.

AN instant stoneskin does not sound useless to me. They are constantly rebalancing the game. That's what MMOs do.

You can't use it for prepull when it only lasts for 10 seconds, it is not an enhanced stoneskin. It is weaker in a way you can't freely cast it and you need to be 66, not 34 +

Also isn't Adloquium > Divine Benison anyway? so not only does Adloquium heal more, shield more, lasts longer, has no CD it is also not restrictive cept for the mp cost nerf.


WHY bring a whm for shielding? I guess it is good for war? for a 309 AST, Aspected Benefic heals for 4100, that is a 10250 shield, someone would need about 70K hp for a DB to match it, on a crit it was 6200 that gives you a 1550 shield, or need to cast DB with someone 105k Hp (about) for a 304 sch, Adloquium is 5100-5300 and 7858 crit. So how come WHM has no prepull shielding and DB is so restrictive when other classes that have free casting ablities that are better then it (and in ast's case, instant as well, just not ogcd but it has a 2 sec recast)

So I guess useless is the wrong word to use, but it is subpar. I think they got rid of stoneskin because of role actions since healers and pld got access to it.. speaking of...
5100 with buffed Aspected Benefic, 12750 shield, crit 7100, 17750 shield. (know anyone that can get 118k hp?) fully buffed like that is on a 90 sec CD That is only 309 though, you can be 320 + now, or 320 on pure crafted gear.
