    WHM stoneskin II and virus

    So lately I've noticed that WHM is severely lacking in the mitigation front. Yes it has the best healing power of all 3 healers but what good is healing when you get 1 shot for your max hp?

    Where an AST can use nocturnal sect shields, the bole and collective unconscious. And a SCH can use succor, adlo + deployment tactics and sacred soil. All WHM has is stoneskin, everything else is healing in their kit.

    So would it be so overpowered to allow stoneskin II to be used in combat? Maybe even give it the old enhanced stoneskin potency to make it a little better as mitigation. I've seen situations where any healer combo except double WHM would survive a mechanic. For example thordan or sephirot where their LB gauge gets just a little too high and SCH or AST shields makes the difference between a 1 shot and barely surviving.

    And while we're on the topic of things WHM does the worst. Virus.

    SCH has supervirus, AST has disable. WHM only has plain old virus. Maybe change virus so it has the STR and INT down naturally and make supervirus do something else, like not have the immunity maybe. This way, the same as eye for an eye, WHM gets an equally strong ability that's just slightly less usable.

    Im not saying WHM is the worst or unplayable or useless, I've just noticed that this is an area where it is significantly lacking and in a double WHM setup it's the only composition where there is no way to make up for the loss.

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.
