I think Stoneskin 2 was added in...2.5? It was super late in it and well after I got to 50.

Looked it up, it was patch 2.45. It was also a 6 second cast that couldn't be used in combat. We CAN count it, but I don't think that really changes anything, nor was it an ability for most of ARR (just the last patch, more or less).

I do miss Stoneskin, though. I wish they'd remove Benison and give us Stoneskin back. A GCD hardcast but one you can use at any time. Given literally every other healer (even AST) has a GCD applyable barrier, there's legitimately no reason to argue WHM shouldn't. (AST has 20 seconds of them under Neutral Sect, and has its oGCDs on top of that). Just have it upgrade to Benison (visual effect and larger shield) at some point but keep the GCD functionality, just make it a quick cast (1-1.5 sec).

.

As to the macros, maybe. But as that isn't currently a thing...
