We're certainly not talking Blade Cascade levels of brokenness here, but your Encounter stances don't seem right. No class really has any "always-on" powers beyond what's given to them by their class, paragon path, or epic destiny.Fighters and barbarians have some really powerful stances and rages that create an "always-on" effect, but they are daily powers and thus the effect only persists for one encounter. If I select the right utility powers as a Historian, by spending three minor actions in the first round or two of combat, I can ensure that I spend EVERY fight:immune to flankingimmune to fear effectsforcing enemies to spend twice as much movement to reach my position. I can shift away from them, but they can't shift (normally) if it would put them adjacent to me.The historian already has a large number of class powers and plenty of class feats with additional always-on effects. I recommend that you change powers which are currently Encounter (stance) powers. Depending on original intent, either make them a more powerful Daily stance or Encounter ability that's not a stance - probably part of another action, or a minor or immediate action.</blockquote>
