Stone Stance

[Dalema]

<DIV>hey i'm still learning about monks and their CA's i have a question about stone stance....how do you all use this i don't see much benifit from it.  I'm stunned the entire time can't even auto-attack.  So i'm just curious how everyone invorperates it into PvE and PvP</DIV>

Lets say you get an add in a raid or something even in some groups.  Get hate and while MT is tanking main grp taunt then stone stance.  Reduce the dmg u take by a good margin.

Single target taunt, group taunt, rescue, then pop off stone stance if you really need it. Times I've used the stun version of the mit buff: 2 Times I've lived using it: 0 You don't want to use it early in the fight, matter of fact the BEST time to use it is after you fire off EVERY CA you have, run a Tsunami  (level 55 skill), fire off your 3 taunts: single/group/rescue.  Fire it off after that and you should be okay for a bit until your group taunt would pop up. Personally I think the buff needs tuning because the key to us maintaining aggro is our ability to proc our self hate buff.  Standing around dumb for 30 seconds only able to cast your single target taunt is a bit much for a short term mit buff but thats a whole other can of worms. <div></div>
