AOE stoneskin outside of combat

[CrystalRainbow]

Thank you, for the majority supporting this idea. Maybe with enough support it will happen.

Also remember to like positive posts on this idea.

The issue I have seen is WHM starting to cast on 1-2 people and all of a sudden a tank starts running in before everyone has stoneskin.
Or
People late to to regroup and a tank runs in, and people miss stoneskin and protect all together..

Sch in FFXI had a skill to make the next spell AoE ^^

I believe WHM had a spell like this in 1.0 that could even be used in combat (with the same drawback).

Just bring back sacred prism. 1m cooldown (iirc) and some spells would be AoE (mostly used for AoE cura, regen and stoneskin)

i agree. having to spam SS at the start of the dungeon, before a pull, before every boss, etc. is just annoying. no reason to not have SS work like protect outside of combat. I don't think SS should be AOE in combat because then you're starting to make WHM look more like a SCH by being able to erect shields during battle.

Well, what our the point be? I mean, to avoid mobs outside of combat? Get into a raid with stoneskin already? I don't see the benefit, out of making things a bit speedier.

Community Service, Love at first sight, etc. Think of the possibilities with just one Stoneskin. You can buff anyone whenever you feel like it.

I don't play WHM, But I'm all for this. Anything to make a healers job better.

Something to allow single target spells to target multiple targets in range would be a wonderful future cross class skill.

a skill to make any whm spell would be a little OP and easily abused, would essentially give whms a lb3 when they have the cooldowns.

Cast aoe buff
cast swiftcast
res
and you just ressed the whole party.

just make stoneskin aoe outside of combat.

this is easily cured by allowing only certain spells to be used immediately after any future, hypothetical aoe buff. kind of like how SCH has certain spells that work under Aetherflow. you could have a set number of spells that work under a WHM's aoe buff.
