    I feel the -50% damage is fair since it'll only last for so long, and GL3 is still maintained
    -50% potency for all skills for 15s would yield lower dps than just having to rebuild stacks regularly which defeats the purpose of using the stance.

    Sure, if you time the skill wrong. Use it wisely during a dead phase and you'll have maybe 5 seconds of the damage debuff. But this is different for every fight. Its not an "oh duh panic" skill, its strategic

    Granted, 15 secs would be a bit long. (Cant edit on phone)

    Popping a stance to have it sit idle for 10s isn't exactly what I'd consider a useful stance even if used strategically, and the only place it'd really be viable is during Twin. I'd rather build stacks on my own with an attack speed boost, than have a stance automatically put me at 3 stacks with no effort.
