Indeed I have - it gave me progress towards the Elonian Elite Skill Hunter title.

Also, Second Wind can put up a pretty good fight in the "single most useless Ele elite" battle. Two second cast? Really?

yea but "SY!" is probably more effective and doesn't need two skills slots and an elite slot to work...

I could see this skill being useful to grief assassins, but as an elite...? I wonder if this skill will see a buff in the next skill update.

No, there's really very little reason to use [[Stone Sheath] since there's [[Stone Striker] and it works about the same way but doesn't take up your elite slot.

Well, preventing mobs from scoring criticals seems a nice thing, expecially in HM, where monsters do a lot of criticals due to their high level, but to be useful this skill need to be more spammable and/or affect all foes in the area instead of nearby, imho. Then it could be nice coupled with ward against elements, which protects against elemental damage, in a warder build for example. And yes, i know that there are faaar better options, but at least there is some little application.

About the effectiveness of warder builds, however, this is another argument...
