FIghter Stances now use 0 concentration

[MadBarman]

I'm very interested about this change. Could be good, could be bad I'm not sure. I wanted to ask the people on beta. Could you list (or post screens) of all our skills that use concentration now. Of the top of my memory we have Dragon Advance line (1conc) Call to Arms line (1conc) and the Martial Focus Line (1conc). Is there anything else? Thanks <div></div>

Offensive and Defensive stances were changed to not use up any Consentration points. Rest of the arts, including the combi def-off stance is as they were prior to this update. <div></div>

I can use both off and def stance to have zero penalties with bonus mitigations...  That is just plain silly.

<P>I'm also confused by what this means.  Can we put up both defensive stances and to yield over +1200mit, 12defense, 20deflection, and 2400 mental resist?  </P> <P>I just don't get this.</P>

<DIV>No they will over-write each other as per the latest post by the devs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I wonder what that means for our balanced stance?  I mean, the balanced stance was supposed to be a compromise between offensive and defensive whose drawback was that it didn't allow you to have your other buffs active.

<DIV>This will make it a possiblity to swap stances quickly during battle w/o having to change all your other concens to match, if you needed to. As a sk, theres only 4 buffs that take 1 concen, so we cant even fill the concen bar now, unless they make more of our skills take concen that is.</DIV>
