Feel free to move this and the above post to a new thread as it is a derail of sorts.........

The whole weakness thing is not style dependant.

Here is an example

My Monk can use boundless fist on a mob, using that creates a "Enraged" state on the Mob. My groupmate Mr. Rogue detects this and he knows that any time a mob is enraged his backstabs do more damage. So he then stabs the poor sod in the back for a gazillion points of damage. This of course creates a "Staggered" state on the mob which then take advantage of with Crescent Kick so its my turn to deal extra damage....etc etc.

To me its almost a mini game to work within your group to figure out the best chain of events to maximize your damage.

Here is an old post form the VG forums its not complete but you should get the idea.

You should have only the style in whch you chose, sounds like the beta buff toons got bugged or perhaps it was to give you a taste of all 3 styles. Either way it sounds interesting

I buffed 2 Monks to 35.  The first had Dragon and Drunken stances while the second monk had Dragon and Harmonious.  So, only abilities that are labeled as "mastery" are specific to their stances?

HI guys first post. During Beta, we had the opportunity to switch styles (Dragon, Harmonious, Drunken). When you switched there was a bug that allowed you to keep and use alot of your previous styles abilities. So if you started with drunken and went harmonious you might still have some drunken style abilities available. However when meditating using the AUM skill you would only receive skills applicable to your current style.
I believe in the release game once you pick your style at 15 you are set. Shamans also pick their patron at 15 and there is no going back after that. So choose wisely. After 15 you will still get general skills(disciplines) of all styles but will only receive specialized (Mastery/Aum abilities) skills from your chosen style.
