The stances would only work if none of them had a damage buff but had other unique effects instead but I don’t think the team wants to add three extra buttons of on the hotbar. I would like to see ROW reworked into a mechanic you can interact with outside of PB bursts. Maybe you could increase your auto attacks by doing your normal rotation with a new wind guage
You misunderstood what they were suggesting. They were not saying bring back the fists as stances, just bring them back as weaker versions of the riddles, then, at the appropriate level, upgrade the fist to the riddle.

As an example, learn Fists of Fire at level 58, giving a 5% damage buff for 20 seconds, then at level 68, get a trait 'Fire mastery' which upgrades Fists of Fire to Riddle of Fire, which will have its current effect. Apply similar rules for the other fists/riddles.
