Hero's 3rd job crash skill to be changed into a un-dispellable stance buff that consumes their combo. Every combo orb consumed gives 1.5% stance chances. So at 3rd job, 5 orb gives 7.5% stance and 4th job 10 orbs giving 15% stance. The stance will be separate from their 4th job skill power stance, so warriors will have 15% chance to activate 3rd job stance, and if that fails, 90% chance to activate 4th job stance (effectively giving them 92.5% stance). ~buff should last 200seconds, same as combo buff duration. The requirement of orb consumption will promote heroes to be active, 15% stance isn't THAT big of a game changer but will definitely be nice to have for bowmasters and corsairs. Will also help out with the latest evasion nerf on LUK. It also fits the gameplay of heroes to be more braindead with higher stance chance (but not 100% stance change) I don't play heroes, but I just think being a easy to play class shouldn't make people exclude them from parties cuz no party buff (and DrK being better than them in triple body part bosses). What do people think?
I think giving other classes besides warriors Stance would further push people away from maining DrKs, Paladins, and Heroes, because they'd already have good mobility and avoid and now would have resistance to knockback when getting hit as well. Heroes are a bit mindless to play with just spamming Brandish, but I think making them a more exciting class would be easier by changing/buffing some of their attack skills. I always thought it was disheartening that Panic and Coma are pretty much useless, even in 3rd job, and Rage/Enrage aren't welcomed party skills. Probably the easiest way to make them more wanted in parties would be to get Rage and Enrage to stack with other attack potions but I don't believe that is possible as well.
