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. =]

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. =]

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.

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.

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?
