Auto-Protect

Its about improving gameplay but saying its lazy is just stupid.

How is making everything automatic improving "gameplay"? Gameplay implies that you are PLAYING. If you cant be arsed to manually cast a few buffs, taking about 10-30 seconds total(based on 4-man or 8-man content), then you are LAZY. Call it stupid all you want, you're still just looking to not have to buff. Its so easy in this game.

If you dont like it can tell everyone to take off there buffs everytime you enter and so you can reapply them yourself.

Or, you can just suck it up and play your class, and stop expecting SE to waste development time and resources on something completely unnecessary and pointless. You want them to make a function that heals automatically for you too?

No it's not. It's exactly what it is.

Auto is too much but AOE Stoneskin should be a spell you can cast when you don't have aggro.

It took me literally 2 minutes to make a stoneskin macro.
/action stoneskin <me>, /wait 3 (or 4, depending on your spellspeed) and following every other party member. You have just enough lines to cast stoneskin on a full party with a single click.

You're welcome.

I'm with the other two in saying this is incredibly lazy. And this is from a i90 WHM.

Instead of making things more trivial, let's instead encourage the Dev team to make it more complicated/involved.

It will probably expand as we get more levels but I'd rather see more variety between the raid buffs to be honest.

Do people even think before they post these puke threads?

...still entertaining tho

I wonder I OP have ever played a buff class before. Their task is to buff throughout the entire fight and they seem to love it. I for one would love to see shell added to the game. Make it so protect and shell do not stack and you have to take active decisions depending on what type of attacks you are predicting. Oh, and dont forget about mighty guard. More buffs for everyone!
