Why penalities to change stances?

[eagledorf]

I mean, if you wanted WAR to have the same penalty turning on Defiance as DRK has turning on Grit, you could make it on the GCD and impose a flat 60 gauge penalty. That would be 198 potency + 1.2 Inner Beast worth of potency lost and would be mathematically equal to what DRK loses turning on Grit.

Or if you wanted to make it like PLD, you could put both on the GCD with 20 gauge cost. Actually, I could get behind this one since it would lower the skill ceiling and make IB right after Defiance easier so it would actually probably be a good change.

Is that what you would like?
