== Acquisition ==
'''[[Signet of Capture]]'''
* [[Prophecies]]
** [[Malinon Threshammer]] ([[Sorrow's Furnace]])
** [[Slonak Copperbark]] ([[Iron Mines of Moladune]])
** [[Thorgall Bludgeonhammer]] ([[Grenth's Footprint]])
* [[Eye of the North]]
** [[Taskmaster Durgon]] ([[Vloxen Excavations]])
** [[Marln Steelfist]] ([[Battledepths]], only during [[Attack on Jalis's Camp]])

== Notes ==
* The fastest sure way to capture this skill is from [[Taskmaster Durgon]] with the quest [[Dredging the Depths]] entering from [[Vlox's Falls]].
* [[Lieutenant Mahgma]], found in [[Fronis Irontoe's Lair]] during [[Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza!]], also has Dwarven Battle Stance, but it cannot be captured from him as your [[skill bar]] is replaced with [[Dwarven brawling]] skills.
* This stance can be maintained indefinitely if used in combination with [[Dwarven Stability]].
* The interrupt lands before the attack skill does. If the enemy is set to resume attacking after their action would complete, they will then transition into an "attacking" state after being interrupted. This will satisfy both [[Counter Blow]] and [[Counterattack]]'s conditional bonuses against attacking foes. This significantly increases the reliability of these two skills in PvE, even against caster targets. This will '''not''' work if you hit them during [[Aftercast delay]], as the interrupt will not apply to a target in that state.

== Trivia ==
* All the bosses that have this skill are [[Dwarf|dwarven]].
