Stoneskin

[Kal-El]

What Nettle said about Cad split is a perfect time to cast. With a SCH popping a quick Alqo before the split as well you definitely give the OT a better chance in gaining threat.

Not too sure if this worked but in T2 I had a WHM cast Stoneskin regularly to reduce stacks if it was timed well enough.

Well that's what he said anyway. I was too busy silencing and switching with the OT to notice.

I have noticed this, Stoneskin will mitigate any debuff, knockback or effect on any ability if the damage received from the ability does not exceede the stoneskin. So yes if you time stoneskin perfectly on T2 the hit attached to the stacks of the debuff is absorbed and it seems like the effect "the debuff" is tied directly to the damage caused. If no damage is caused then no debuff effect is given. A good easy example is stoneskin yourself and cast a ranged spell on a giant frog. When the frog does his tounge move that pulls you in, if it is absorbed by stoneskin then you don't get pulled. Same thing with demon wall etc.

I was retesting this last night and went for over a minuite without the tank in T2 receiving stacks until I messed up my timing with stoneskin.
