smnolimits43 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 So i picked up Stun from Energy Manipulation. I wanted to see what it was like. I feel like it whiffs alots, and when it does land, it feels mediocre. So, should i keep it or pick up something else ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I forget what its magnitude is offhand, but it can stack nicely with the other energy melee attacks, and if combined with power boost or boost range, it gains additional utility. How do you have the power slotted, and what level of enemies are you going up against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidge Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Like other attacks, it greatly benefits from slotting. It may not need much, certainly Accuracy... and if you begin to leverage it, Recharge and Stun duration. Stuns are a bit of an odd duck: by themselves they don't speed up collecting XP (and/or Inf), yet if used appropriately against an enemy that would otherwise do something to keep you from defeating it (Fake Nemesis, Paragon Protectors, Carnies, Tsoo Sorcerers etc.) it can "speed up" collection of XP (and/or Inf). It is possible to adjust playstyles such that a player would never see the benefits of Stun (e.g. the spawn sizes are so large that they can "wait around" for certain enemies to "come back"), or the spawn sizes are so small that DPS defeats enemies before Stun would be needed. I find Stuns to be oddly satisfying when stacking enough Magnitude on certain enemies, but I won't fault anyone for not using them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a joy to stunning Master Illusionists and finishing them off before they can go ghostie. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not dump it. -Stick to need to know info only on the forums(how-to's, inf making guides, maybe a generalist run down of your chosen AT) -Interact in at least a neutral manner. You don't have to like the folks here, but avoid being personal -Try and focus your time in-game. In-game folks are generally better to deal with and get real-time answers from than forums.

Zect Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) There will always be some value to mezzing troublesome mobs, but blasters can also be successful without them.
