rofl @ stun maneuvers. At least they made it less of a bitch to train in.

From my limited personal experience, I wouldn't try anything above the following at these stun thresholds:

6 rounds+: stun stance1
4-5 rounds: stun stand
1-3 rounds: stun stance2

[NocturnalRob]

yeah, to be honest, i'm shocked i wasn't killed outright.

[iJin]

:heart: :D


I'm ever so nice!




(Just cause I have my DP right with me.)

[Some Rogue]

I said let you die...but nooooo.

DP = double penetration?

those damn things are practically worthless.

then again, give me another week and i'll be lauding stunman for saving my life again

[The Ponzzz]

The trick is, never use move first. The harder stunmans are generally harder to use. The longer the stun, the less successful you will be. So start off small, using stance1 a few times or stun stance then stance1. Once you're in 40-50% stance, try for stance2 or move at that point. Stumans have a higher rate of working towards the end of a stun.

I only die against CS attacks when stunned, outside that, I just stay in defensive during my stun.

Dr. Pepper. She's a freak for Dr. Pepper.

LOL, it took me a minute but I figured it out too!

And, she's just a freak. Period.

[BigWorm]

Stunmans are okay again physical stuns, though those are pretty rare for me nowadays. I always stand up first then stance1 or stance2 depending on how long the stun is. I usually don't use move unless I think a critter has prepped a CS spell that is about to fuck me up. It's nice to have stunman get when you're disarmed and weapon and shield when you're caught unprepared.

we love the Dr.Pepper.....

Wow this bot is good.
