Make Stoneskin 2 instant cast

[thunderbreak]

I can't think of a single practical reason for it to have cast time.

[Shikiseki]

And I'll take 3 new egis without wasting a job skill slot kthxbye.

Its true it should be faster. The cast time is pointless since it can't be used in combat.

[Darsho]

I'd rather have tanks learn not to run off while healers are buffing them, but that's just me.

You have Swiftcast just in case

A. What if Swiftcast is on CD

B. Can you think of a reason why SS2 has a casting time?

Yes. So that it's inconvenient to use prior to every pull. It's nice before bosses or if you want to not have swiftcast for a minute.

If it was instant, why have it at all? Why not just make it a WHM trait that everyone around you always has stoneskin while out of battle. Automatically applied. Raises, spot healing, teleports, and buffs too. Also we can teleport to the next group of mobs automatically because it's out of battle and there's no reason not to just be there, already.
