Stance Questions

1. Does each stance mod in this game have innate stats that help the weapon?

2. Why are some of the Rare stances just plain terrible combowise compared to the uncommon variant for a weapon?

 

I tried the rare stance for staves out and the combos for it seem to do almost no damage even to enemies on VENUS, and it has a wind up attack that seems to do absolutely nothing whatsoever.

 

I switched to the uncommon stance for staves and suddenly, literally a hurricane of death and destruction. The combos are way easier, hit way more times, the hitboxes aren't insultingly godawful. What's the point in having some of the rare ones be bad in comparison to the "lesser" stances? What am I missing here? Seriously.

1. No

2. Rare stances are generally rarer and seem to usually have more actual combos but not always, but in no way does rare mean inherently better.

So rarity of stances is just pointless then and only means "this is more difficult to attain"?

 

What garbage.

What garbage.

This is why we can't have any good stuff

1 - Not all stance mods do.  However some have additional damage multipliers or change the damage type or add AOE knockdown or ragdoll or something on certain attacks.  It's not entirely mapped out though since none of it is displayed in-game so people have to find it out via testing.
