Talk:Practiced Stance

Mar 2 update
So, now, PS + Choking Gas + Flurry = most annoying ranger build ever? Off to the RA to test it out. &mdash; Stabber 18:55, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * Wow, RA is overflowing with PS+CG rangers already. &mdash; Stabber 19:11, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * So, did it work, or was it just a novel idea? :) --Bishop 20:04, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * It works wonderfully. Choking Gas is now indefinitely maintainable, instead of being merely nearly indefinitely maintainable. There is still the 2 second recasting window for CG, not to mention the usual anti-ranger stuff (Ineptitude, SS, etc.). &mdash; Stabber 02:18, 4 March 2006 (CST)


 * Also, assuming a hsortbow + flurry, attacks come about once every 1.33 sec or so. It's easy to slip 1 sec casts through... --Theonemephisto 08:57, 30 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Thats why ever PS/CG build has savage and distracting &mdash; Skuld 08:59, 30 July 2006 (CDT)

Flurry can't work with Practiced STANCE because it is a stance itself. -- SigmA 14:56, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 * Think about it a little more. You only need practiced stance up when you activate choking gas. --Fyren 17:46, 19 February 2007 (CST)

Glyphs?
There had been a discussion in the Talk:Barrage thread about how Barrage removes preparations AND GLYPHS. People were wondering whether glyphs were treated like preparations by Practiced Stance. Has anyone experimented with this? --Charlotte Dod 12:25, 23 February 2007 (EST)
 * They're not. --Fyren 13:05, 23 February 2007 (CST)

Glyphs are preparations for spells, but are not preparations in the rangers' sense. This is why Barrage removes them, yet not affected by Practiced Stance (although I haven't actually tested to see if this "preparation" mechanic carries through to this skill with glyphs).


 * No, its a bug. Barrage should not remove glyphs. &mdash; Skuld 18:21, 13 May 2007 (CDT)
