Stoneskin not useful?

[Wizarus]

I wish that the move was buffed to 18% for everyone, to see some noticable mititgation. I still have it on my SCH so I can stack it with Aldo before pulls, but that's only because of a habit.

It's really only noticable in "Protect X" fates in Open World.

Stoneskin 18% for everyone? Don't you want crossclass Shroud and Medica II too?

They could at least make it instant cast for WHM.

And everyone would scream "BROKEN" even knowing that Stoneskin is not MP efficient at all.

Make Stoneskin an oGCD skill for 25% max HP shield???

[Fevelle]

Just make it 15% for WHM if the devs think that 18% is too much. Or at least make SSkin II usable in battles.

Stoneskin trait should make it insta cast. It still won't be amazing, but it would atleast give whm a instan mitigation tool without having to burn swiftcast

For the record, pre-nerf, people were having discussions about Stoneskin and saying how it is too expensive to be efficient and it was good for pre-shielding and hits that someone otherwise would not survive.

Stoneskin does have a few other uses that people don't usually mention:
1. If you are stuck in cleric stance, Stone Skin retains its effectiveness.
2. It is very effective on NPCs because they have large HP pools. This mostly stops mattering after you finish the story and class quests.
