lol. they've already given us the option to stoneskin an entire party with one button press. what do you want, for them to take the control from you and play themselves?

I like that it takes so long because it makes speedfasts more interesting. I have to sprint ahead and cast it.
tbqh though, it's generally not a big deal for anybody but the tank to have stoneskin.
Except DPS who realise there is a skilled healer in with them so they no longer need to dodge AoE and carry on taking hits to the face.
I'm glad it's long it gives time for my buffs to be up for pulls.
You know those reasons why you want it to be instant cast?
That's why it's not instant cast.
It'd be op.
It is a long cast time but the way I see it people complained they wanted it so bad..and here it is. Not for or against the cast time adjustment but I understand it and it doesn't hurt me.
I rarely use it as it is outside of large content. In anything more than 4 man you got enough time to cast it while people are talking / confirming things.
In 4 man raids like dungeons, half the time I cast it there's always someone watching the cut scene so I end up having to stone skin just them. Sometimes I don't even get to use it. I put it on the tank first single cast because I'm afraid he's just going to run off. Then there's some days I don't care, I cast it you wait the couple seconds if you want to pull and die in that time? More power to you. Either way the casting time I think they put it on there so people could slow down, or hope they would. Take the few seconds say hi to everyone..do a quick manderville dance and be on your way, I'm in no rush anyways.

ok its late I havnt read all the replies and my answer may of come up...
ss2 can be cast on anyone who is not actively pulling agro on something right.. so in a boss battle with 1 constant target it becomes useless but in any battle that has you kill one thing then the next assuming no one attacks the next target couldn't a healer pull of a ss2, either swift-casted or timed well,!?
just for those scenarios and to give SE some flexibility in the future around fight designs they added a long cd to it... but not so long to be totally annoying.
strange awareness of ghosts that no longer haunt this shell.
Make it instant cast with 1 minute recast, (GCD) cause why not?
In all seriousness, it's SE's way to not boost speedrunning dungeons (as if all the gates and stuff aren't enough)
"Sent on Android device"People need to remember that a healer's job isn't to heal HP
but rather to prevent HP from reaching 0
