Stance |
|
|
Stance Overview:
A stance is state of a character and how their abilities may be used. For example, a warrior could go into a defensive stance in order protect others or themselves. Sorcerers stances are based on elements. It's believed diplomacy encompasses stances as well. |
Offensive Stance- + accuracy, - mitigation, - aggro
When playing in an offensive (non-tanking) role, the new warrior is granted bonuses to combat, and has a variety of attacks available to them. These attacks have specific uses in and of themselves, which then expand and grow when combined into chains. For the most part, attack chains are only available in the Offensive stance. More on this later.
Defensive Stance- +mitigation, +aggro, +block chance, - damage
When playing in a defensive role, the warrior becomes much more able to take incoming damage, and all attacks generate more hate. New counter-attacks become available only in the defensive stance, and then only when equipping a shield.
