In Path of Exile (PoE), the Stun Mastery passive skill offers a variety of enhancements that significantly boost your ability to stun enemies and improve your own resilience against stuns. These masteries are designed to make stuns a powerful tool in your arsenal, while also providing defenses against being stunned yourself. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each feature and its strategic implications:
Feature: 100% increased Enemy Stun Threshold.
Reminder Text: The Stun Threshold determines how much Damage can Stun something.
Analysis: This feature effectively doubles the amount of damage needed to stun enemies, making it easier for your hits to cause stuns. It is especially useful for builds that rely on stunning enemies to control the battlefield and maximize damage output.
Feature: 200% increased Stun Duration on Enemies.
Analysis: This feature triples the duration of stuns inflicted on enemies. Longer stuns keep enemies incapacitated for extended periods, allowing you more time to deal damage without retaliation and providing better control over fights.
Feature: 20% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you Stun an Enemy with a Melee Hit.
Analysis: This feature grants a 20% chance to gain an endurance charge each time you stun an enemy with a melee hit. Endurance charges increase your physical damage reduction and elemental resistances, enhancing your overall survivability and making you more resilient in combat.
Feature: +50% to Critical Strike Multiplier against Stunned Enemies.
Analysis: This feature increases your critical strike multiplier by 50% against stunned enemies, significantly boosting your damage output when attacking stunned foes. It synergizes well with builds that frequently stun enemies, maximizing the damage dealt during stuns.
Feature: Hits against you Cannot be Critical Strikes if you’ve been Stunned Recently.
Reminder Text: Recently refers to the past 4 seconds.
Analysis: This defensive feature provides immunity to critical strikes for 4 seconds after being stunned. It mitigates the risk of taking high damage from critical hits during the vulnerable period following a stun, enhancing your survivability.
Feature: 25% chance to deal a Stunning Hit to Nearby Enemy Monsters when you’re Stunned.
Analysis: This feature gives you a 25% chance to stun nearby enemies when you are stunned. It turns a defensive situation into an offensive opportunity, allowing you to retaliate and control nearby enemies even when you are incapacitated.
Feature: Gain Adrenaline when Stunned, for 2 seconds per 100ms of Stun Duration.
Reminder Text: Adrenaline grants 100% increased Damage, 25% increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed and 10% additional Physical Damage Reduction. You cannot gain Adrenaline if you already have it.
Analysis: This feature grants you Adrenaline when you are stunned, providing a significant boost to damage, speed, and physical damage reduction. The duration of Adrenaline scales with the stun duration, offering powerful offensive and defensive buffs during and after being stunned.
The Stun Mastery passive skill in Path of Exile provides a comprehensive set of enhancements that maximize your ability to stun enemies and improve your resilience against stuns. By increasing the enemy stun threshold and stun duration, gaining endurance charges on stun, boosting critical strike multiplier against stunned enemies, providing immunity to critical strikes after being stunned, stunning nearby enemies when you are stunned, and gaining Adrenaline, these masteries ensure that you can effectively control and dominate the battlefield. Mastering these features allows you to build a character that leverages the full power of stuns, making you a formidable force in the dangerous world of Wraeclast.
