Stances are toggled abilities that alter various aspects of a character, such as damage dealt or block rate.

The following are the stances available to certain classes. Note: most of these were removed with the Helm's Deep expansion, and the Hunter, Minstrel and Warden now are the only classes with stances, and they NEED to have one as they can only been changed, and not removed without selecting another. Even their stances have been somewhat altered.
