Style Question

Mager

Dalayan Beginner
I've been semi AFK for past 2 weeks so maybe i missed it but I've noticed that monk styles that are listed as ACTIVE (should only drain stamina when in combat) are now draining stamina whenever i turn them on.

for example
Flurry of Blows
Pre-Reqs: Level 20, Two-Handed Weapon not equipped.
Stamina Usage: High (Active)
Effect: The monk's movements become a blur as he strikes the foe again and again. Doubles the monk's attack speed, at the cost of a significant decrease in damage dealing.

when i turn this style on, my stamina starts to decrease even if I stand still and do nothing.

- Is this intended?


also noticed it with

Crushing Blow
Pre-Reqs: Level 45, Two-Handed Weapon equipped.
Stamina Usage: High (Active)
Effect: The monk focuses his power, discounting secondary attacks for a single, powerful blow each round. The monk loses the ability to double or triple attack, but hits at triple damage.
 
Could you explain the balance reasons? Is it because no other class had such styles, or because it was just too handy being able to finish combat and not have to switch back to normal / defense / offensive stances so that you could get back the stamina?
