Patch 2.45 December 9th

[Mogi]

Anyone know how to get the new skill? quest or just an add on? talking about stone 2 ^^

It's clear to see how game breaking and OP it would be to allow an AOE SS to be used during combat because it pretty much makes Succor worthless in comparison.

Game breaking? Hardly. You'd only need to be ready to use it before a major raid-wide AoE and with a high MP cost just like when you have to raise people too much in a fight your MP will get murdered, so it's not like you can keep it up constantly.

Also, if WHMs are currently Stoneskin-ing everyone prior to a massive hit, then what is the difference besides saving a little time? You say that it's "OP" and yet we already do this, lol. It's just more convenient to have it as one spell that covers everyone for those times that maybe you ended up not having the time to get Stoneskins on everyone.

You have to cast an aoe heal medica or medica 2 on the first aoe it will over heal and thus you wasted all that time casting stoneskin.

The spell doesn't cast that fast, if you wait until you see the first one going off. Besides if you're casting early, you'd likely overheal even without stoneskin. I usually just don't start casting early and it works out okay, lands at like the 2nd or 3rd tumult and doesn't over heal.

Know what would be cool? Somewhere between 50-60 CNJ gets a battle SS2. Big AOE coming? Swiftcast SS2.

This could be very likely. They may have decided to give the CNJ/WHM an all target Stoneskin in those levels and they realized they could do so and give players a QoL boost by splitting into a pre-50 out of combat spell and a post-50 trait akin to Enhanced Raise.

Okay, I want that spell to cost the same as a Raise. Meaning I want all the WHM to know that you can use this, BUT IT WILL COST YOU DEARLY.
