They can make it so that stone skin 2 is an aoe but reduce the dmg mitigation like how succor is like Aldo.
I kind of wanted to avoid that because it would become SCH, If we do that then SCH need a counter act like Sacred Soil II, where one walk in and get a 20s Mystic Shield.

I think aoe SS should be a new spell, Stoneskin II. It would have a longer cast time (mitigated by swiftcast) and allowed on SCH and PLD. This would make a pretty good OT ability. Graniteskin traite would affect this spell too, so it wouldn't be as potent on other jobs.
I do this on my PLD in some fights. Anyway, an OT that uses shields to protect his self. Time for DRK older brother Rune Fencer.
