What is duration of Echoes of the Ancestors?

[brian14]

All "Echoes of the Ancestors" are active abilities, with 6 seconds cooldown, yet none of the descriptions say how long they last.

Until you activate a different one.

They count as some kind of stance.

You do need to reactivate them when you modify your destiny.

So for all practical purposes they are passive abilities, just mutually exclusive ones. Cool!

Yeah, learned this one the hard way... upped Fragment of the Song: Valor to T2, and all of a sudden, my songs weren't as long as they were. I spent an hour complaining about how rank 2 killed the song duration from rank 1 before i realized that neither my Echo nor my Harmonic Resonance was active... lol

But yeah, they're effectively passive abilities, once you go into stance you can forget about it (at least until you spend an ED point). Even holds through death & logout, unlike some stances (Subtle Backstabbing, I'm looking at YOU! And Harmonic Resonance, for that matter, but that's not really a stance, so I can forgive having to warm up the voice every time...)
