A '''stance''' is a position that a character can occupy that enables or disables certain abilities. Stances most commonly refer to [[warrior]] stances. In [[macro]]s and some action bar add-ons, a stance also refers to forms that non-warrior classes can take, such as [[Stealth]], [[Shadowform]], and [[Moonkin Form]]. "Form" is a synonym for "stance" in macros. They function exactly the same.

Thora Feathermoon was one of 4 Alliance Outrunners who were scouting the Barrens. The others were [[Aean Swiftriver]], [[Marcus Bel]], and [[Hannah Bladeleaf]]. The mounted outrunners rode a patrol from [[Bael Modan]] in the south to the [[Lushwater Oasis]] in the north. The outrunners were [[elite]] fighters around level 25 and fought together. Unless prepared or high-level, [[Horde]] characters were advised to keep their distance.

Some warrior abilities require a specific stance. For example, [[Intercept]] only works in [[Berserker Stance]]. Changing stance will cause a warrior to lose all their rage.

Revision as of 15:08, 27 February 2011

A stance is a position that a character can occupy that enables or disables certain abilities. Stances most commonly refer to warrior stances. In macros and some action bar add-ons, a stance also refers to forms that non-warrior classes can take, such as Ability stealth [Stealth], Spell shadow shadowform [Shadowform], and Spell nature forceofnature [Moonkin Form]. "Form" is a synonym for "stance" in macros. They function exactly the same.

Macro Stance Numbers

Warrior Druid Priest Rogue Shaman Warlock
Stance 1 Battle Cat Spell shadow shadowform [Shadowform] or
Inv enchant essenceeternallarge [Spirit of Redemption]
Ability stealth [Stealth] Spell nature spiritwolf [Ghost Wolf]
Stance 2 Defensive Bear Demon Form
Stance 3 Berserker Aquatic Ability rogue shadowdance [Shadow Dance]
Stance 4 Travel
Stance 5 Moonkin or Tree of Life
Stance 6 Flight or Swift Flight

Excluding warriors, "nostance" in macros refers to your default form.

If a priest has both Shadowform and Spirit of Redemption, Stance 2 is Spirit of Redemption.

If a druid does not have the talent for Moonkin nor Tree of Life, Stance 5 is Flight Form or Swift Flight Form.

Note that a druid can have only one of Moonkin or Tree of Life talent at this time. Tree of Life Form is a 41 point investment in the Restoration Druid talent tree. Moonkin Form is a 31 point investment in the Balance Druid talent tree. At level 80, a character is able to have 71 talent points. This is one short of allowing both of the forms to be taken.

Warrior stances

Some warrior abilities require a specific stance. For example, Ability warrior victoryrush [Intercept] only works in Ability racial avatar [Berserker Stance]. Changing stance will cause a warrior to lose all their rage. At level 58, warriors can train Spell nature enchantarmor [Stance Mastery] from any warrior trainer, which lets them retain 25 rage. This can be further increased by an additional 50 rage with two points in Spell nature enchantarmor [Tactical Mastery].
