Stoneskin II

[Mayh]

Uhhhhh the cast times are NOT the same. Stoneskin 2 has at least twice the cast time as the first. Also it makes sense for it to have a longer cast it is a more powerful spell.

Ah, my mistake.. I see now. Thanks for not biting my head off about it! XD

Well no wonder it feels so agonizingly slow when I cast it! Now that I know the specifics of its 6 second cast time I'm still let down a bit.
When I get into a dungeon people just want to go, go, go! Barely waiting for Protect buff. Of course I'm going to blow my Swiftcast for SS II so we can move on quickly.

I guess I'm going to have to reconfigure the way I handle buffs. Perhaps casting Swift & SS2 first and then Protect. It'll give Swiftcast a few seconds longer to recharge if I get that out first. And maybe I'll stop being so obsessive about keeping SS up in between trash pulls.

I generally only apply SS to DPS before bosses because they rarely ever lose it and and shouldn't even be taking damage. As for with tanks? I use to be really anal about keeping it on them at all times between pulls. Not anymore. There are so many tanks who won't wait for it, and I've had too many instances where I would pull hate because they wouldn't wait for SS to finish, that I just say fk it. I'll cast it if I feel like it/have a chance.
