BTW, you die because you suck, not because you don't have StoneSkin. Adloquium does the same thing, only better. StoneSkin blocks 10% of the damage. Adloquium nullifies damage equal to the amount of HP restored. With StoneSkin, if a critter hits you for 200, it will do 180. If I heal for 200HP with Adloquium, it will do no damage. The only problem is I have to spam it against you and run OOM quickly because you refuse to tank like a tank.
