Granadosource's take:
Standing shot is a stance that doesn't really need any introduction. Anyway, as a musketeer or a rifle user it is inevitable not to use this stance. Standing Shot gives the following as bonus after maxing the stance: Accuracy +30, Critical +9%, Attack Speed +8%. This allows rifle user to always achieve 100 Accuracy making it stronger than pistols in terms of damaging. The strong fire power of rifles is its strong point making one hit killing a possibility. The only downside of using rifles is that it is slow and don't have a real Area of Effect damaging skill.
PvE-wise, Standing Shot is perfect for AFKing and Power Leveling low leveled Characters. Birdfall is perhaps an underrated skill of the Standing Shot stance but it is actually very destructive. Combined with the Levitation Stance's Reverse skill, any flying unit can fall down within seconds with such a spammable skill as this one. I haven't really gotten a good grasp of Blind Flash but so far I've been using it on normal mobs and it works wonder as blinded enemies really misses you even with out evade. In PvP, Blind Flash actually works well against Pistol users allowing Rifles to out duel them. Covering Fire is the Rifle's only AoE attack but its small Area of Effect radius and long recovery time makes it a bit useless for mobbing. Head Shot and Precision Strike is a rifle's bread and butter in terms of dealing real damage. 500% and 700% of damage from a rifle is very destructive. This is a great tool for dealing damage on Raid Bosses or simply hunting mini bossses in the world of Granado Espada.
