People who dismiss the WAR complaints about stance dancing haven't put the thought in to see what the true cost of losing half your gauge means. We're talking 50 points, or two combos, or 6 GCDs when you swap from 100 points.

"But then spend all your points before swapping."

That puts us in another poor situation where now we are stuck rebuilding stacks in Defiance with a damage penalty. The 20% damage penalty over 6 GCDs to get us to 50 in Defiance for an Inner Beast would be an even larger potency loss than the loss of swapping from 100 down to 50 to have 50 left to Inner Beast.

It also just "feels" bad to play, which is going to hinder new tanks.
