Talk:Stun

I like how the term stun is used to mean incapacitate. Clearly savage leap is not doing electrical damage, right? right? Venom20 20:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... As far as I know stun doesn't have to be an electric charge or something like that... I think it is correct as it is now, if Savage Leap does have an incapacitating effect. Or did you mean something else? :O --Hasselmannen 20:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

We don't know if that skill was savage leap or not, do we? Anyway, you don't need to shock someone to stun them in real life. You can also be stunned from a blow, a loud noise/flash of light (flashbang grenade) or many other such things.--Corsair@Yarrr 21:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Stun by definition is 'to incapacitate'. This can be caused by several methods, of which only one is electricity. Sharp blows to the head, asphyxiation and electricity are most common. --Decoinferno 10:47, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Savage Leap

Uhm... it's from the Sever Artery + Gash + Final Thrust video. The warrior chases the bandit and strikes him in the back, saying "Hold that pose!". Then he finishes off the guy. Also:

"and a chase skill to close the distance between you and the enemy (Savage Leap)."

^ This is from the Traits Overview article. That's why I think that they're the same and the unmentioned side effect of the skill is stun. --Thalador Doomspeaker 07:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll repeat what I said on the Savage Leap talk page; we know it's a sword attack, so why does he hit the bandit with his shield? You'd think a sword attack would actually use the sword. --hexal 08:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe he's using the sword and shield together? Zolann The Irreverent 01:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

No, Savage Leap is seen in the Stomp video to close in on the second group. You can clearly see he leaps to and stabs an enemy. -~=Ϛρѧякγ (τѧιк) 19:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

merge?

with the immobilize page. There isn't actually a condition called stun http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Immobilize —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.251.236.141 (talk • contribs).

That might seem like a logical move, but a 'Stun' could always be a technical term, or simply, not a condition. Also, we don't know what Immobilized does. --Naoroji 16:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

We also don't have enough information on Stun, either. Although it might share similarities to immobilize, stun might also have the effect of interrupting. Immobilize article only says that it prevents movement, but doesn't say of what kind. (Xu Davella 02:34, 29 August 2010 (UTC))

How is this mechanically different than Knock down?

"Stun is an effect caused by some skills which interrupts, immobilizes, and incapacitates foes for a short duration."

"Knock down is an effect caused by some skills which interrupts and causes the foe to be unable to move or attack for a short duration."

There might also be different ways to escape from them. WoW has stuff that makes you break and become immune to fear, but you can still be stunned; while other skills make you immune to stuns but you can still be mind controlled, etc. -Auron 12:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

See here and here. Basically, stun is removable and immunity to knock down is not the same as immunity to stun. –~=Ϛρѧякγ (τѧιк) ←♥– 23:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Is stun a condition? -- Blue Phoenix 00:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes.

While the wiki has yet to take note of it, skills such as Meditate and Contemplation of Purity are both proof of it. A F K When Needed 04:14, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Shake It Off proves ArenaNet are being every bit as inconsistent in Guild Wars 2. My expectations of the game have been shaken a tad.

Basically, we don't know. It looks like different people at ArenaNet have different ideas, and if they're not singing from the same hymn sheet it leaves us in the dark.

To be fair, it's possible they changed their mind (one way or the other) at some stage, but that still leaves us without an answer to your question. A F K When Needed 04:28, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Pistol whip causes stun. and I don't know how to add a profession and the skill icon and all that jazz.174.100.25.69 01:06, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Done. You can click edit to see the code behind an article. Simply mimic and preview until it looks correct are the basic steps. :) - Infinite - talk 01:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Is stun stackable?

Can stun be stacked? -- Blue Phoenix 01:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

They didn't mention it as being stackable, and it wouldn't make sense with its effect anyway, so I would assume no. Aqua (T|C) 01:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Visual Representation Note

Moved this to notes, keeping more in like with the GWWiki format. Feel free to revert if you disagree Khamul787 10:24, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Shared effect

"Stun shares its effect with knockdown" - Could this affect traits such as Unsuspecting Foe, in that bonus etc. also apply to knocked down foes? Mediggo 11:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I played thief with Basilisk Venom quite a bit in sPvP during BWE2, and I think that when Stone (Basilisk Venom) is applied to a foe that is knocked back/down, they are, um, stoned for 1 second after they get up. It seemed to happen at least a couple of times. Mediggo 06:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

IIRC, having Basilisk Venom applied to oneself (Stone (effect)) creates a similiar visual effect and essentially same restrictions as Stun. I also believe that being turned into ice block by Ice Bow's Deep Freeze does the same. A similiar effect can also occur when using Rune of Svanir), which, however, also makes the user invulnerable and may thus be a positive effect. Mediggo 12:30, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Food Items that break Stun

Is there a list of food items that break Stun and Knockdown? My low-level chef crafted Cheese Triangle which reduces damage while affected by Stun, Knockdown or Knockback. Darcy 13:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found it. I would add it to the page, but it seems I don't know how to add something that complicated. Darcy 13:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Jade Winds not actually a stun

Can we get this clarified? The official description is "Jade Duration", and while the icon looks like stun, as far as I can tell it is not, as it is not affected by superior sigil of paralyzation after a quick test on the nearest boar. What I don't know is if this is a bug or intentional. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.10.188.242 (talk) at 19:26, 24 January 2016 (UTC).
