Summary0018121: SM/BO mechanic breaks during large scale fights

**Expected behavior and actual behavior:**
Originally I thought this was specific to Plan B, but it seems to be an issue with Best Plan/Balance mechanics in high lag fights.

If you use these mechanics in high lag fights such as City or a Fort door push, you will occasionally (and often) be reset back to the first stance during the middle of your rotation.

This issue is compounded when using Plan B. The addon action bar and the class mechanic will think they are on different stances. You can use Sudden Shift or another ability to change your stance, and both will then be back on the same stance.

Issue seemed to start with the hotfix that patched the Chosen Crit Reduction ability

Some more info here:

**Steps to reproduce the problem:**
- Use a Black Orc or Swordmaster in Fort or City (high lag areas?)
- Note that during heavy lag fights such as in the middle of a door push, you stance mechanic resets back to the first stance about 20% of the time
- Throw keyboard

It is incredibly difficult to give my party Whispering Winds when my stances keep reseting before I can get to the third stance

Yes this bug has been around for a couple of months now. Doesn't just happen just in laggy fights, I have had it in city too. CC chains seem to confuse the stance mechanic too.
Skills get grayed out out of sequence, sometimes they are actually available because the stance is valid and sometimes not. Makes playing SM pretty miserable at the moment.

This issue is still happening. I recently started playing BO and SM and I noticed that during large fights, especially when blasting pots are in heavy use the stance got de-synchronized. It means that in career mechanic perfect balance / best plan is displayed when in fact basic stance is active. This is especially visible for Plan B addon users such us myself.

Still happening and ALOT, like every 30sec or so.
If using PlanB it greys out your bar and you can't do anything to get "unstuck" except using suddenshift to reset your bar.
Tries to wait 5 minutes to see if it would reset by itself, it didn't.

Adding some feedback here, this is on my SM, in improved balance stance as per the Core stance widget (on top of my character) and i get "Requires improved balance" when i try to use an ability. You can also see the toolbar below (plan b) with buttons disabled, but i agree that the problem is not on Plan B.

The problem still persists. Please look into this if possible, 2 classes are currently very clunky to play.

This really hurts SM and BO a lot.

I can confirm it still happening. I was testing SM today on Constructs in Altdorf and I got my stance progression reset few times. Like I was using Taunt before pressing Ether Dance hotkey, but sudenly I got back to basic Balance stance.
