    They took your stoneskin and then gave it right back to you in the form of Divine Benison. That way it was WHM specific. Just like DRK lost Delirium and then got it right back later. Lots of jobs "Lost" abilities during the streamline but magically got them back post 60 in the form of a "new" ability.

    Terrible design IMO.

    DB is ogcd and grants 5% more mitigation than HW stoneskin. Its only real drawback is that its Lily locked. DB does HW ss' job, but better. It also takes away a healer applying stoneskin every gcd as useless busywork.

    I miss ARR Stoneskin though. 18% was basically a Cure2, same cost, and you could apply it instead of Cure2 for minimal threat, to buffer against mob packs or tank busters...

    DB just doesn't feel as good in that regard, mostly because as an OGCD its weight isn't as noticeable.

    HW stoneskin killed ARR's stoneskin. ARR's has already had an expac to grieve over. If anything, DB is the good guy. He killed the murderer!

    Divine Benison would be better if it was called Stoneskin and had its animation. But that's just my nitpick.

    I think they needed something to represent the water aspect of conjuring, cause lol Fluid Aura. It looks cooler than your basic StoneSkin cast imo.
