Stoneskin II

[whoopeeragon]

Go to youtube and you will find plenty. I watch my partner do it all the time, because he DOES know how to play ninja.

And you obviously don't. To use Trick/Sneak Attack in combat, you need to use Ninjutsu. Not the Hide button. You can hide the Hide button in combat, and it will literally have NO DIFFERENCE on a good Ninja's rotation.

Hide is a skill that enables more damage from other skills. Please tell me more about how you know about the game. Your argument is bunk.

You know that as soon as you or a party member gets aggro it fades away right ? And then can't be used again as long as you are fighting.


Also no need to be overly aggressive simply beause we don't agree with you.

They're clearly trolling now. I'm amused by it all.

Lol yah. I'm mostly just bored and sleepy and enjoy poking trolls with sticks. ^^

You may consider this useless but for me this is the best thing ever. Even if the time doesn't 'add up' a super lot, my laziness is telling me yes to Stoneskin 2. If it was castable in battle it would be used and abused.

The ignorance is strong in the OP..ah well, seems we're done, there goes my entertainment for the next 2 hours or so..(Sad I know but I have nothing to do atm qq)

There is no advantage to having swiftsong in battle. There is an advantage to having stoneskin in battle. Swiftsong was designed to be used outside of battle only, not for pre-engagements like stoneskin 2. And considering they already gave us an aoe version of stoneskin in the past it just doesn't make sense that they would bring it bake the way they did. It's a slap in the face to people who play whm.

No it's not. As a healer, I hated to recast stoneskin 1 by 1 after every wipe, when people were just standing there waiting to pull, food buff runs out and it adds up on progression. If we had Stoneskin II in combat, that would be completely OP, WHM would only be used to cast Stoneskin II on every single attack, destroying fight intended mechanics. There's no reasoning in your argument. They added it because they listened to us, tired players with SS I. A WHM will casts Stoneskin on everybody anyway, why does it bother you that you/your whm has to only cast it once, instead of 8 (or 9+ if you care of them pets) per pull. It changes nothing in the lore. You're still a White Mage, and still with your stoneskin spell. It even surprised me how you managed to get 2 likes, like wut?

It would be retarded if it were able to be used in battle... There would be no point in sch or their shields... If you could SS the entire party that quick there would be no dealing with huge aoe hits like Gigaflares and teraflare and so on... They did the right thing saving time before pulls and only before pulls.

Sadly I think the OP may have hit the daily post limit, we lost our troll bait

[RegnumMagik]

I thought "cannot be used in combat" was pretty clear but I guess not. Regarding Swiftsong, If you can't see the strategic advantage of faster movement in battle, I'm not really sure what to tell you.

The funny part is, you're the one telling me to "understand the game more".

I for one think the addition of Stoneskin II is a great QoL improvement.

Calling it now, WHM will get a skill/trait in the expansion to allow them to cast it in battle!
