question: paladins, how many times do you sue stoneskin on your healers?

[astrobearthe2nd]

it just occur to me last night as i was leveling a cnj for stoneskin skill, that paladins has acces to this skill, yet i rarely use this on any healer in pvp. it such a lifesaver ability that protect the healer or even just your team mates from attacks. so my question to all paladins pvp players, how many times have you used SS on your teammates?

edit...damnit i misspelled "use".oh dylexsia , why do you appear at the worst of times?

Before the gates open if healers are bad. At the bitter end if it's 1v*/2v* and I'm able to freecast.

Never mid-match. It's only 10% and on average that's only an extra 350-480 HP versus the myriad things you could do by closing the distance to engage and peel. The only time I would use this deliberately is if I'm sitting in a bind away from the action, though Tempered Will negates this scenario.

Stoneskin is better when used by Marauders who can't freely escape from binds. They also have access to Swiftcast, which is pretty dumb.

flash stun, rage of halone, cover probably more effective if I'm playing mrd i generally use virus instead

Having seen it turn the tide of battle like... twice i stick it on there for good measure lol.

I have stoneskin + swift cast macroed for that moment i see a healer getting owned. If they're pretty much done then i turn around and start healing whenever i could. PvP is another reason why i'd like to see a magic pally and not a warrior pally: You become an actual THREAT.


..like MRD/WARs are.
