Hey all,

I am having some trouble understanding how our skill "Pushing Hands" works exactly.

Does it, for example, mean that when I use this ability on a warrior mob who is in def stance, I push him out of it and leaving it with...yeah with what? And how long does it last?

Would be great if someone could enlighten me Smiley

Ya, that's about right. More and more mobs have been adopting defensive stance as they get about 50% health using this skill effectively strips it off them. I have noticed however if you do this they usually throw up a spell like ability "Thick Skin" which basicly does the same thing, but since it's a spell buff you need a arcane type / bard to strip it from them.

Right now it's value is limited and considering the Endurance cost I personally dont use it unless I have end to burn.

If you want a quick view on how efficent it is, duel with a stance using character (or normal pvp if that's your type of server). You'll quickly notice that no amout of pushing hands will actually remove the person from a stance, nor lower the effect of it in the case of scaling stance such as that of a ranger or bard.
By the same token, the time it has taken to spam pushing hands on a mob in something it claims to be a stance and the buff finally fades, it could just aswell have expired naturally.
The only use for it currently is to loose excessive endurance and give you a global cooldown.
