how often is a ranger in stance?

Kyle · Jul 21, 2005, 12:30 AM // 00:30

Stance is certain skills. So whenever you use those skills you are in stance. Or you could never be in stance. up to you and how u run ur character

The Skill actually says "Stance" as the first word in the description. Your Warrior/Monk, for example, would have Balanced Stance.

An example of a Ranger stance would be Whirling Defense. Its effects don't activate until you press the nice little hotkey for that skill. =]

its becauz i have a bow, and on the bow is a mod 15% more dmg while in a stance, so i asume that is when like i use a stance skill? like barrage? powershot, or are they not stances?

Izzy Izumi · Jul 21, 2005, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Nope.

Tiger's Fury
Whirling Defense
Dryder's Defense
Melandru's Resistance
Dodge
Lightning Reflexes
Practiced Stance {Elite}
Serpent's Quickness
Storm Chaser
Symbiotic Bond

...those skills are stances. And as I've said, the stances have "Stance" as the first word in their skill descriptions. =]

k thanx, well that sux then since those stances dosnt last for more than 10 sec

ty for the help

With the right build, Tiger's Fury can be spammed every 10 seconds anyway. It's totally worth it. Trust. It'll up your DPS with a faster Rate of Fire, and up the damage 15% with your bow too. 15% > 50% is kinda weird, and only really useful if you can keep yourself healed.

With your 15% in Stance, you're still doing that 15% damage, as long as Tiger's Fury is up. So...to me, it's an even toss-up.

I retract my statement and bow. Play and enjoy.

Minion projectiles block just fine (I just tested it on the isle of the nameless) Spells are NOT blocked by stances as they are not considered attacks. As for spirits, I tested them also and whirling blocked it's usual 75% of their attacks. I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but it's DEAD WRONG.

Any particular reason you resurrected a thread that is over a year old?

Also, dargon is right. Whirling defense works fine with spirit's attacks and bone fiends' attacks, but flare/ice spear/stone daggers/etc. don't get blocked.

Stone daggers is a spell.
It works against minion projectiles.
It works against spirit projectiles.

Stop spreading false statements.

Learn to play ranger, kk?

Pfft, Expertise is one if dare I say the best primary attribute, also rangers have 100al vs Elemental dmg, and 70vs physical, which isn't bad at all for a ranged character.

[skill]Natural Stride[/skill]
[skill]Whirling Defense[/skill]

These can be quite annoying but there are many more, plus if you get beat by stone daggers, minions and spirit projectiles, learn to play kk?
