Auto-Protect

I can see Auto-Protect being a thing, but not Auto-Stoneskin. Protect is always there until the timer on it runs out. Stoneskin, once you take a certain amount of damage through Stoneskin, that's literally it. The buff goes away before the 30 minute timer on it is up.

Though, and I know this is the wrong place for it, but why don't we have access to Shell either? That'd be kinda useful against magical enemies.

WHM gets the Proshell trait which turns Protect into Protect+Shell, so Shell is already in the game (and probably on you in most dungeons/raids).

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks!

We had shell in 1.0 but was removed to be more streamlined. Much like my post they wanted to remove number of actions whm had to do at beginning of a dunegon and didnt seem the need to have shell & protect apart since there casted together all the time.
Protect has shell built into it since we got jobs in 1.0.
