Stance

Stances are skills that represent certain positions that characters take to better attack their enemies or defend themselves. Stances give special bonuses to players for a certain period of time. Stances are the Warrior's, Ranger's or Mesmer's equivalent of an enchantment (which provide bonuses to spell-caster). They work similar to enchantments, except that they do not have any cast time, and may not be countered by anti-enchantment skills.
