Getting permanent stance as a mage

Hi guys! I love stance with all my heart, and I want it for my mage. I do have a plan for this, but I want to know if this will work or not. I did not find any other threads around, so pardon me if this is a repost.

This is how i figured I'd do it:
Mihile link skill Lv.2 lasts for 110 seconds and has a cooldown of 180 seconds, right this means I'd have 70 seconds that I had no stance, BUT my main is a mage, so i have 50% BUFF duration increase, that teamed up with about 14% buff duration from abilities should give me 64%.
So if this is the case, it should now last for 180.40 seconds and have a 180 second cooldown, which means it would be timed perfectly! This teamed up with the auto buff pet skill *should* give me permanent stance, RIGHT?

Would this work? I'm not familiar with pet auto- buff as i never used it. The %BUFF Duration does also work with link skills, right?

If anyone could confirm this works, please get back to me <3 Thank you! If you liked this idea, do it yourself stance helps so much!

I obviously care about it since I made a thread about it? Go away please. And no, not /thread

Thanks to everyone who replied! Even though i got a few mixed replies, can anyone confirm either? If you have both autobuff and Mihile link skill, try it for me please <3

Not true. I've put Infinity on autobuff before. ^^

I've kinda got it overkill, but I ended up with 40% Buff Duration on my Inner Ability, plus another 10% from maxed Empathy, plus another 5% from Monster Life.

So all my buffs actually last twice as long as they're supposed to, including Mihile and AB Links.

[quote=Anthoy84]50% buff duration from Buff Mastery + S Ranked-Mechanic Card (15% buff duration) will do the trick.

I'm not sure if you can put Mihile's Link Skill on an Auto-Buff Gem since it has a cooldown, but you could give it a try.[/quote]

Yeah thanks! I already have it from my abilities so I'm set, but that's kind of what I need to know if you can equip Knight's Watch or not... Need to find someone with a pet& a mihile!

50% buff duration from Buff Mastery + S -Ranked Mechanic Card (15% buff duration) will do the trick.

Depending on server lag, you should have unlimited stance. If you combine this with an S-Ranked Mercedes Card (-4% cooldown duration), you should be able to have 100% uptime on Mihile's Link Skill.

I'm not sure if you can put Mihile's Link Skill on an Auto-Buff Gem since it has a cooldown, but you could give it a try.
