PLD Raise while in combat please!

[Ashkendor]

Yup, STRATEGY. This is exactly what this game lacks.

It always kinda weirds me out when I see this kind of sentiment from people that say they don't do endgame. o.O

I mean, if you don't do the hardest content in the game, of course it's going to seem light on strategy.

We have FOUR of them, all of them from CNJ and all of them to some degree or another useless or unusable. We're the only non caster to cross with CNJ, I already know the arguments about it being a hold over or legacy thing...yada...yada... The point is it's there, it's half of our cross class skills, and they should be useful in some way.

If you honestly think Stoneskin is useless, you're doing PLD wrong. Oops sorry, there goes my endgame point of view again.

Also fully agree with this. You can Stoneskin yourself before almost every major Tankbuster in the game without interuption. There are also a lot of lengthy transition phases in Raids / Trials that let's you Stoneskin multiple people with weakness before a big hit. I re-protect static members after Raise as it saves the healers MP. Honestly there's no reason for a Paladin to NOT be doing this. It's practically a part of the job.

I remember spam-casting Stoneskin on Earthshaker targets in T13. Glorious. xD

I also remember how much fun it was once I figured out that if I Stoneskinned myself I could just Leeroy straight into Bahamut for DB.

Well, since it won't balance it out, SE can surely give it to us!

RPers and those niche occasion would be nice to see ^^

They can put it in or not put it in and it won't matter to me either way. I don't care so much about that. I was making an argument against someone that was saying it would help balance Paladin with the other two tanks. Frankly, it wouldn't affect a darn thing as far as evening Paladin up in raid effectiveness with Warrior and Dark Knight. It'd be just another niche use skill that you almost never use.
