Buff stacking order?

I think its easier coding for them to have stoneskin take the dmg till it wears off, instead of having varying things which would act first instead of stoneskin. In a lot of mmos you need to remember "oh I have this on, its not useful to use this", plus most of the level 50 tanks I know who are actually tanking (you do not tank pre 50 w/e, the mobs die too fast), this is not a problem, they have already remembered redundancies and such. If this is really important, which is isn't, they'd probably most change it at 2.0

But (unless I'm wrong) the calculation is still done. The damage blocked by Aegis Boon is still blocked, but rather than preventing HP loss, it mitigates the damage to stoneskin. Also, the servers still know exactly how much damage you would have taken, because it subtracts that number from your stoneskin.

I agree that most tanks have developed workarounds, but unfortunately you cant control when someone stoneskins you. This is especially detrimental for Sanguine Rite. If the healer thinks it's a good time for stoneskin, and the tank decides to throw up Sanguine Rite before the cast is finished...I've seen it happen a few times.

I think thats what it should do... but I don't know that it is
