    Stoneskin is there to mitigate nuke dmg. FFS stop re-applying it after every trash pull!

    Speaking as both a WHM and a WAR, reapplying SS between pulls is incredibly handy, as the SS eats the initial burst of damage that healers are usually compelled to heal ... before we (the tank) even gets an overpower off.

    Yeah yeah, good healers will wait, but sometimes that spike hits hard and fast, especially if you get a crit or two. SS helps a ton to mitigate that in the first few seconds of a pull.

    And you can always cast SS just before the last mob dies. After dropping Regen in the next encounter, you can recast on dps and it's all good. No downtime with this method.

    Or just any damage in particular.

    Sorry for doing everything I can to keep you alive. I'll just dps the mobs and leave you to your fate instead. Hope your crossclass Cure is good enough!

    There is no specifics on how stoneskin should be used.

    Well if they have an AoE stoneskin, for balance purposes, I don't think it could add up to the same % as a stoneskin. That would be OP unless it cost a lot. But basically, it should be along the lines of a succor for WHM.

    Only if it has a short cast time. Give it a 4 sec cast time, a hefty MP cost and make it so it only shields 10% target hp and it would be fine.

    Scholar will also be getting abilities in 3.0 so don't worry to much.

    Devs already said at LV Fanfest that even they are annoyed with having to SS everyone at start of fights and are planning to make SS aoe if you aren't in combat. So requesting one that is aoe in combat would be too similar to changes they are already planning, plus it would step into area that scholars already fill.
