You know that stun...
 
... doesn't even last long enough to save your life. It lasts a total of 2 seconds tops from what I can see. The mob hardly stopped in its tracks before it continued to hit me.

So nothing to get excited about unless it was meant to be longer and something 'bugged' up.

On the other hand, being able to wear armour is nice.

a.L 02-04-2009 09:15 AM

Do you stun often?

AegisXOR 02-04-2009 09:16 AM

Regarding armour, you can expect to see a lot of rich bastards twinking the noob KQs now that they've got extra toys to play with..

:/

No... I was on my archer who doesn't have a high crit % but still... quite a low probability of actually stunning.

cillia 02-04-2009 09:26 AM

dang thats to bad :/
i wonder if the stun time is different for each class? o.0 also, i have a feeling that kqs just got easier for lower lvls :o

hmm is roumen flooded with people? xD

Loveless 02-04-2009 09:29 AM

No, there wasn't a lot around... I just went in to pick up my candy and see how the crit/stun worked. I wasn't expecting the stun to be 'long'... but... it doesn't make any difference? At least archers will be happy to know that this will not hinder their kiting, at all.

EDIT: I tested it out on my cleric who crits every other attack... I stun about the same rate as my archer would crit which is... not very many.
It seemed a little longer... 3 seconds maybe? Lol

cillia 02-04-2009 09:58 AM

lol i wouldnt be suprised if its in this order
clerics-3%
archers-2%
mages-1%
fighter- big fat 0
lol xD since fighters already have stun... xP lol idk

Ivramire 02-04-2009 10:16 AM

Seems Clerics/Mages will benefit most then.


Least it isn't game-breaking xD

a.L 02-04-2009 10:25 AM

At least the stuns can possibly save me from death while AoE-ing a heap of mobs. xD

Ivramire 02-04-2009 10:35 AM

Still, what about Mages with FN and Inferno?


Even 2 seconds or so of Stun is a big deal, seeing as FN also slows you down. Did anything change there?

a.L 02-04-2009 10:41 AM

Huh?


<--- mage

Blaaaaaaaah 02-04-2009 11:02 AM

I was talking to a fighter and he said the stun lasted about a second for him.

a.L 02-04-2009 12:31 PM

Well, I finally tried it out on my archer and I have to say it was royally underwhelming.

And my expectations were pretty low to begin with. :/

Loveless 02-04-2009 05:36 PM

... I told you it was hardly noticeable. Heck if I wasn't actually looking at the mob window up top and knew that crit = stun... I would've totally missed this. It's not going to save anyone from certain death.

Mindspank 02-04-2009 05:41 PM

I want my blood back. These stars are gay.

Ralath 02-04-2009 07:36 PM

They've been there long before the blood was. -.-

Destrus 02-04-2009 07:40 PM

wait what? what have i missed D:? crits stun? blood? stars? wth is going on here DD:

Phantom Badger 02-04-2009 07:50 PM

Whats all this stun about ? I havn't been on recently XD

They were never as prevelant as they are now and they were not accompanied by a sound that makes a critical hit sound like a face flatener with a cast iron skillet in a bugs bunny cartoon.

They might as well change us all to loony tunes.















I got dibs on sylvester...

Destrus 02-04-2009 08:10 PM

i call bugs. but you're saying they changed blood to stars?

Mindspank 02-04-2009 08:15 PM

Yeah it went from little stars, to blood, to bigger stars falling away from the critical graphic and an annoying metallic clang sound. So like I said before...

I want my blood back.

Phantom Badger 02-04-2009 08:19 PM

Or Feces How awesome would it be to get a crit and shit to hit the proverbial fan that is our screen

Hessah 02-04-2009 10:10 PM

the stars are new isnt it?! i dont think it was there before the blood... i like the stars... it doesnt cover up my entire screen!



Maybe the stun would help my archer AOE kite? (slightly) keeping the mob's distance?

Loveless 02-04-2009 10:14 PM

Nope, the stun doesn't last long enough to allow you even a step of distance nor does it happen that often (unless you happen to crit every single shot then you might have a chance).

Hessah 02-04-2009 10:16 PM

ohh well then... I'll pretend like it was never implemented... thats OK then....

Loveless 02-04-2009 10:19 PM

Yeah, I think that's the way to go.

If it wasn't written in patch notes I would've never noticed...

Amber_Bamber 02-04-2009 10:30 PM

I thought before it was a big purple splat thingy,showed how much you critted in big bold numbers, and there were little stars around it? Does that count as stars?

I haven't tried killing some mobs right now, But hearing from Loveless and all you guys, It sounds pretty useless. Would you call that stun? Or would you call that.."The monster being distracted by a pretty butterfly behind you for 2 seconds"? Rofl.


Zwivix 02-04-2009 10:50 PM

The stun is even worse than butterfies. Stun is over before the animation for my next skill is half way done.

It would be pwnage if they extended the time for the stun.

Maybe this is true cause, what happends when a fighter crits while devastating. o:

Mindspank 02-05-2009 12:50 AM

When I AOE, I crit every skill useage. When I point attack, I crit 3/4 of the time. I have yet to see a stun.

Bring my blood back damnit.

CrazyVietFs 02-05-2009 01:15 AM

I like my blood.... i want it back ...

Zwivix 02-05-2009 01:19 AM

My guess its just a random stun. Its not only when u crit.

What ive notcied increases my chances of getting a stun are crits and DoT's. I usually get the stun as an openner or a finisher...

Blaaaaaaaah 02-05-2009 01:46 AM

I don't see any broken stars.. I always try to look for it but I seem to keep missing it.

Btw my magic burst makes the screen shake as well, crit or not!

Loveless 02-05-2009 02:19 AM

Blood isn't the main issue... if they're going to bring it back they need a 'turn off' button as well as make it less cheesey. I also don't think trees bleed but again, that's besides the point.

Really, I hope they change the stun to be a bit more noticeable. The dizzy stars don't even have the time to come out. D:

That's good enough for me.. the last thing i want is have a seizure while playing fiesta with all the flash and vibration LOL

mightytwilight 02-27-2009 03:42 PM

Simple fix, get your fighter to 43, max out the stun time for Devastate. trust me it's worth it.

Loveless 02-27-2009 04:34 PM

Trust me I know I'm a Lv8x fighter.
