Stun Special Ability Bugged?

[Sarumorpheus]

Hey, guys.

One of my heroes has a warhammer with a special attack called Stun, which is a mighty blow with a 30% chance to stun the enemy. To illustrate my issue, just now I was fighting one of the huge giant crabs and used that special ability. Damage was dealt, the word "Stunned" appeared above the enemy head together with a few yellow stars rotating in a circle. However, the creature was still able to move and attack.

Am I somehow misinterpreting this special attack? Because the way I see it, if the enemy is stunned it will become immobile and defenseless for a few seconds until it recovers from the blow, though that's not what I see. Could it be a bug then?

Thanks for reading!

Perhaps they are resistant to it. The other day, I was fighting that same type of mob, hit it, got the stars. Kept moving.
However, when I was fighting mobs in the swamp, I would land the attack, get NO visual presentation. Yet the mob would stop moving.

That seems quite strange if the visuals of the stun are displayed and they are not moving and vice versa that the visuals do not display and they are stunned. Perhaps they are flipped in the code. If they were resistant they would resist I would assume and no visuals would be seen.

I would post this in the beta patch thread.

I have noticed this too. Could be that the visual effect and the actual effect are not linked properly and there is a separate 30% chance to get the visuals, and another a 30% chance to stun the enemy per hit.

I can confirm getting the visuals but no apparent effect on hostile creatures

Confirmed too.

Good to see I'm not the only one facing this issue. As suggested, I've also mentioned it in the patch thread.

It's not bugged, it affects monster's cooldowns but I agree the effect is too subtle. We'll tweak it in the upcoming patch.

Aah! I see.

Thanks for the reply!

So the "stun" is really a slow effect of sorts? O_o
