–

Stunning:

This is the main reason I went for a 2H Mace!

* % Stun Chance = 200 * Damage / ( Enemy Max Health – Stun Threshold % )

Right now with ground slam I oneshot white named monsters so stun won’t matter. Blue named monsters take 2-3 hits, and are ofcourse stunlocked so can’t do anything. Yellow named mobs take about 5-6 hits and are also stunlocked so also deal no damage.

There are enemies immune to stun, and enemies with an insane amount of hp that you can’t stun ( Oak, Vaal and Gneiss for example )
