AOE stoneskin outside of combat

[Nutz]

They give you like what? 90 to 120 minutes on raids? If you're planning to use every second of that time, then there's something wrong with the party. Games don't need to be nerved more than it is, taking time to skin everyone is fine, takes literally 30 sec or less. Even less when you have two healers. Stop being lazy people.

I'm not sure how you're opposed to not sitting around waiting for the WHM to stoneskin everyone or doing it yourself to everyone. Nobody's suggesting a nerf. It would simply condense 4/8 casts of buffs into 1, just like protect is not only aoe, but with the WHM trait also includes shell even though it traditionally isn't that way in FF games. The devs just realized that healers will always put those buffs on everyone so why make them waste time casting repeatedly? Entirely the same situation here (when not in combat).

Glad this is mostly agreement on this issue. Cheer. Make it so SE.

I like it, no balance issues (as long as it worked the same for at least sch, and maybe pld).

[tOnni3]

Agreed, and also wants to reset HP/MP/TP/CD skills after wiped.
Seriously what is the reason to have zero MP/TP after respawn ???

This needs to happen. The less annoying things that aren't needed the better. I can understand in combat. But out of combat? No, thats super annoying as are many things in this game simmiliar to that that should be patched.

Why is it that every time someone makes a valid suggestion, that would only help, and has no downside, there is always someone who feels the need to come in and complain about it?

[Pantz]

Great suggestion!

Good QoL suggested people have wanted for a while. Please make it happen SE, it is tedious to wait for every pull, and annoying for the WHM.

Also, please make it so you can put buff effects on people in a cutscene/zoning in.. Having to wait for that person to watch a cutscene when their body is physically there to put up Protect/Stone Skin on them is quite annoying.

This so much lol (and I main a WHM), also idk why the other guy said laziness is the reason...? It's pressing one button 8 times and have everyone wait for it to end. And no, people don't always talk strategy, and no, there were times where I completed instances on the last 1-2 minutes, so needing the whole instance timer doesn't means 100% fail.

If they did this, then the next step would make adloquim aoe as long as you aren't in combat, so you can get the big shield on everyone. One reason I think they don't do this kind of stuff is that if they did, people would start looking into ways to abuse it. Old WoW raiding, I mean really old like Molten Core, you weren't in combat until you engaged an enemy or healed/buffed someone that was, so groups would just sit one healer out and never cast a spell so they could only raise people that died so the group wouldn't have to worry about battle rez's. I'm not saying there would be a way to drop combat so you could do this, but if there was, then people would find it.

Or it could have nothing to do with what I just said, but maybe this could be the niche for a future job/class, get an ability that aoe's your next, if you go the offensive job, you could do things like aoe invigorate or some nifty enspell, if you go the healing job, you could use it to aoe a heal, or stoneskin, or an esuna type ability, or elemental spikes, you know, not put it in now, because they have plans for it down the road.

Just a couple of my thoughts.
