Make Stoneskin 2 instant cast

[thunderbreak]

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

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

Hahaha so true, that's a really big deal for the OP then!

[Jim_Berry]

Funny thing is, I get all 8 of us Stoneskinned one by one almost at the same time it takes to use Stoneskin II.

A. What if Swiftcast is on CD

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

[Kelya]

Well in a 4 man dungeon SS2 before every pull isn't absolutely necessary (only SS the tank) and in a 8 man content, you only need it each time you wipe (assuming you wipe) so that's not often.

SS2 is Stoneskining 8 persons in the same time, this is a big spell. That's normal it has 6s cast, and to be honest 6s isn't really so long

Let's make the shield buff instant out of combat, let's make the fairy invocation instant out of combat too then. You are asking for something that isn't really needed imo.
