Stances

<DIV>Can someone please explain the "stances" to me. Seen this mentioned a few times but I'm not sure what people are talking about.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV>As I understand it, we have two Stances. One Defensive which reduces your offensive capabilities and increases your defensive. And one Offensive which increases offense and decreases defense.</DIV>

<DIV>Ok but how do I get into each stance and I presume if I'm soloing the offensive one is best and if I'm in a group the defensive one is best?</DIV>

Maybe its only because im level 27, but the only stances I have seem to be defensive, an older one Stance:  Toughness, and the one I use now Stance:  Soldier's Stance.  Shouldn't I have an offensive stance too? <div></div>

First offensive stance comes at 30, called Desperate Flurry.  Then it's Desperate Rush at 44, and Desperate Charge at 58. The defensive stance you're using actually came from Warrior i think, and your first Guardian defensive stance is also at 30, called Dig In. <div></div>

Tip of the day..... Stances lose your aggro, i found that out when i changed to the offence stance when i was MTing a group, the defence stance is bugged or something so you lose aggro and the offence stance gains aggro with any fighter. if you are in a group with fighters tell them to turn their offence stance off <div></div>
