Aggressive/Defensive Styles and Casting

[Silvernine]

Any chance that Aggressive and Defensive stances can affect casting speed? For example:

/s2 Aggressive, increases attack speed and spell damage by 5%, but reduces chance to avoid and casting speed by 5%.

/s3 Defensive, increases chance to avoid and casting speed by 5%, but reduces attack speed and spell damage by 5%.

Casters get these two styles, but rarely will a high level caster use aggressive stance because it provides no benefit.

Let me know what you think.

Pretty sure its been stated that casters will not get stances other than the standard three. As such, I doubt this ever gets implemented.

Plus this would essentially be a 5% increase in caster dps. I don't see that happening.

I would rather see a meditative Stance, something that would burn off your stamina bar for increase Mana recovery but while in meditative stance your damage/heal spells would be greatly reduced.

This would help out casters in xp groups, they could sit out 1 or 2 fights and be in meditative stance for quicker mana recovery while the rest of the group contiunes to kill mobs.

Useing Stamina bar would restrict how often they could use it, and the negative Damage/Heal would make it so you really wouldn't want to be in this stance during anything like a raid encounter or even hard content.

Every topic about caster stances has been pretty clear. Casters will ever only have 3 stances.
