ok i unlocked all the warrior skill awhile ago so yesterday i was messing about with the one not normally used Skull crack, Thrill of victory etc..

which lead me to Dwarven Battle Stance which i have NEVER used or seen any one use it for that matter. i think it might be underrated should acted abit like a choking gas and might stop them dam eles

question is, does any 1 know a PvE guild that uses this skill or is it doomed to forever be unused

thnx

This skill is forever doomed to being unplayable, until it gets a buff somthing like: Duration: x...11 Recharge: 15s Increases Attack Speed by 25% or 33%, does +1...11 per hit.

A buff like that would make Dwarven Battle Stance playable in PvE, and maybe even seen in PvP, to a lesser extent. I don't think ANET wants to touch this skill though.

Even in a situation where this skill would be viable(2s+ non-spell skill being spammed by an NPC), somthing like Disrupting Chop on an Axe Warrior, or Distracting Shot on a Ranger, would be a non-elite single-skill way to accomplish the same thing, for twice as long. Even for general use of Hammer Warriors, Backbreaker+Hammer Bash, well timed, can do essentialy the same thing as Dwarven Battle Stance(assuming the ideal scenario for DBS), but can also be used to totaly shutdown and snare a foe with shorter cast times (for a shorter period of time, though), and be used more frequently, in addition to being able to use other skills while the target is knocked-down, like Crushing Blow to inflict Deep Wound, or a Defensive Stance to ease the burdon on your monks.

thats a shame to hear

Good bye Dwarven Battle Stance i hardly knew you

Could it be viable on gaurdian monks using -

warriors cunning > dwarven battle stance

although both are 10 energy seems they'd help to shut down a monk fast. Maybe other skills like frenzy with sprint to cancel could make it of more use.

frenzy is a stance :/ (and so is dbs)

Yeah your right, well I suppose your limited to the 10% with DBS then or try work in "I will avenge you" which is totally situational, only I don't think it would work with 3 energy based abilities in the chain.

Umm yeah , to the OP never seen it being used either. No love for the dwarves
