We need AE StoneSkin badly !!

[File2ish]

I think Stoneskin should stay single target only.

However, what I think they could do is give us something like Scholar's stratagem Accession in FFXI (or make it for ACN/CNJ but also available for cross class). The ability makes the next spell AoE. Sounds a bit overpowered, but it would be useful in hastening the start of a dungeon/fight, and can potentially save your party from a wipe if used at the right time. It would, of course, be one of those last resort spells with a long ass recast time and probably at half effectiveness so it's not too cheap. Just a thought.

Or they should give WHM Afflatus Solace from FFXI. Cure gives a slight Stoneskin affect for 25% of the cure amount = cureskin! Would have to be less (like 10% or less) since we easily can cure 1 for like 1k+ hp though. 250 buffer for each cure? Now THAT would be overpowered.

OP's not asking for AoE SS during battle. OP just wants a massive Quality of Life improvement: AoE Stoneskin outside of battle, to save time during the beginning of the raid.

Yes, it takes only 24 seconds. Now multiply that number by the number of raids that asks for raid-wide SS which itself is first multiplied by the number of wipes that raid suffers.

Literally hours are spent to SS the whole raid. Allow SS to be AoE outside combat, that's something everybody can agree

I totally agree with AE stoneskin only out of combat. Solely to have a quicker go, nothing more. I do think it would be overpowered when doing speedruns. You could then cast it again when one pack is down and have stoneskin up before pulling the next pack.. So it needs some tweaking other than "only usable out of combat". But yeah, give us something SE!

I see one of these threads everyday. Do people not check the forums for similar posts before creating a new one?

I know- lets do it the SE way and make you grind/quest to get it! Then it will fall in line with everything else in this game. I would also prefer to be able to buff people when theyre in a group irregardless of a cutscene.
