    If I charge up a stance, It provides no extra benefit but will significantly increase the cooldown. Please make it so that charging a stance gives a modest improvement in it's bonuses and a significant increase in it's duration.

    I let the team know, I agree -- there should be some incentive to stack.

    Yeah, at the very least, a duration increase. Celestial Blessing, too- stacking has no effect.

    While you're at it, @Elgarion , could you please note that ALL the stances were created pretty much for PvP (short duration fights most often) so the short duration is acceptable. For long PvE boss fights it's beyond ridiculous o_O to have to reapply every 60 seconds - PLEASE ;)

    I don't see why stances (other than spell binder) couldn't either have a huge duration or just last until changed or removed. They're all double edged skills with no charge bonus, no focus cost, no reagent cost, no execution time, and no fizzle, so who cares.

    It'd also be nice if skills with no charge bonus didn't charge and just activated, even when held. Then no one would waste any time trying to figure out which things work which way or charging things that are pointless to charge.

    @Abstrax Phoenix is right. Just make 'em last longer if stacked (and I don't mean 10+ sec to stack either)

    Think of when you charge up Purify and get 24 death resistance instead of 20. Like that. Not game breaking, just a little bonus.

    Aye... stances CONSIDERABLY longer but not more powerful. I'm talking 30 min instead of 1 min for the main stances in tactics and whatever else has them.
