Stance Actions

Stance Action

Stances are preparatory actions, that allow the player to spend action points to obtain some combat benefits or tradeoffs. Stances are often tactical and can assist in both offense and defense during an encounter. Using another stance while an existing stance is active will end the current stance. Only one stance can be active at a time.

Stance Actions can be acquired mainly through class and expertise tree perks.

Action vendors will also provide a limited supply of Stance actions for sale, this will scale based on map location since access to map areas can be tuned for various levels.
