stand up for your right! Qs about stances

Post by DantheViking »

Quick question about the stand series of passive powers.

It's quiet simple to acquire multiple different passives that are stands. Stands proc whenever you enter or exit a stance. How does that work when you have multiples?

Example: my blacksmith has stand of the 4 winds, stand of victory, and stand of haste. Does that mean he can proc all 3 stands whenever he changes his actively maintained stance?

Or does he have to choose which one to invoke?

The way I read it seems like it's possible to proc all 3. Which is tempered by the fact that some of them require minor sacrifices.

Thanks!

I see nothing that says otherwise on them. The minor sacrifices affect that, and generally passives do stack. So I say you invoke as many as you like :)

My smithy, king of striking a pose.

Enter a stance, change initiative next round, make a weak attack, make a weak move action. Leave stance, repeat.

Of course, at his current level, he'd stun lock himself after the second round.

I think that's the idea there. Also, not the only archetype that has a bunch of that stuff, just not with stances. I figured out a seithkona build that did similar shenanigans one time. There are a couple that use Bully and Brutalize to good effect. Leaping Striker does some of this too.

Also, take a note of Penumbral Ring. Similarly take a minor sacrifice to apply the area meta. Seems like something one could and should do multiple times in a round.

All of them trigger.

It's a common question I get when I play the demos- especially upkeep trigger powers. For some reason, intuition guides players to think that only 1 power can trigger. Ragnarok is generous in all regards: many powers, many actions and no limits on triggers.
