Stance

Stance :"A posture that provides an advantage in battle, either by protecting against attacks or improving your offensive abilities."

Stances give special bonuses to characters for a period of time. Stances don't have activation times or targets. As a result, stances cannot be interrupted. Only one stance may be active at a time (activating a second stance will end the first one). There are very few ways to end an enemy's stance.

Currently, only Warriors, Rangers, Mesmers, and Assassins have stances.
