Dang so when I read that I remembered that Sword oath used to be the name of one of the stances for PLD. And I had just read the Iron Will removal thing so it stuck in my mind when reading the Atonement section. As I had been pondering why did they give a stance off button. Which is still confusing and unless we need to actually use it all of the turn off X for the tanks button isn't gaining a spot on my cross hotbars. Doesn't mean that they're not thinking about going back to stance dancing. Not that it worked well since all you ended up doing is gaining enough enmity so that you could then turn that stance off in order to dps better. Which would go against their whole we want to make things easy on everyone mentality they've developed. Even if stance dancing was slightly more engaging.
