The time between two stuns, is 0.1 second. I think this testlog speaks for itself...

Not alot of combat in Lusternia is 1v1. That said, in this situation, shieldstun is overpowered.

Shieldstun is overpowered in any situation, including, and especially team combat...where one person can keep you stunlocked while the others swiftly kill you, without giving you a single chance of any kind to survive.

Shieldstun is perhaps a bit too much for classes with passive attacks to have. I think it may be best for shieldstun to be removed from the combat skillset, but leave shieldreposte. Shieldreposte is in no way overpowered, since it is essentially a passive ability that requires the person actually hitting shieldparry for it to have a chance of firing.

It was only overpowered because an Aquamancer's demesne has a passive stunning ability as well. It is no way overpowered in the hands of a class without passive effects such as demesne and faes.

You also had hallucinations, which was stunning, as well as jellies.

Edit: In your situation, I woulda put "drink allheale;fling hangedman at ceres" in my command bar and held down enter.

I.e. only knights...and of course I had hallucinations, there wasn't a bloody way to cure it. And regarding web or hangedman, you can't do anything while prone, Ceres.

I like that strategy, holding down enter to spam a command so you don't totally get owned? I'm pretty sure Lusternia's combat is a lot more complex than just merely people whoring shieldstun over and over again while their demesne/angels/demons/faes are beating the crap out of their opponents. But I might be wrong considering how everyone is using it nowaday.

Who's everyone? Tuek, myself..

Amaru.

I have yet to seen any evidence of which a Knight have whored shieldstun to completely shut someone down and kill them, on the other hand, it -has- been showned that it completely cripples a target in yours, Amaru, or Tuek's hand. And please don't tell me it is because you guys are superior fighters, it doesn't take any skills to repeatedly shieldstun someone. Either you can't admit that shieldstun is too powerful in non-knight guilds or you don't want the ability changed so you can keep winning fights so easily.

For a knight, it's about impossible actually killing someone with shieldstun/slash...but for any other class it's out of place, like suggested before, either cut the stun length with 50% or take it out of the combat skillset and place it in knighthood, as an ability that gets activated once the bonecrusher or blademaster specialization reaches fabled/mythical, or have it highly ineffective at low skillrank, and increase effectiveness with higher skillrank of the knighthood specialization.

I did it once on you, to test its effectiveness, and because I had 0 power. Since the complaints, you won't have seen me using it. Don't be unfair.

Pfft. I've used shieldstun all of two times. Once on Jelaludin. Once on Thorgal. To note, after killing Thorgal with it, he liched and ran away (Why of course, Lichdom sucks right?). I then dueled him a second time, not using shieldstun, and won. Then a third time not using shieldstun, and won. It is only a viable tactic as an Aslaran, which I'm certain is what Ceres was at that point in time too. I rarely use it, because I hate being an absolutely untanky Aslaran that can't take damage, and I die in seconds to teams. I prefer being dwarf or mugwump, in which case there is about a second and a half or so (which is a long time) of which they aren't stunned. Cutting stun length down by 50% would be to drastic. Why would a Warrior even bother using it then?

The longer it takes them to fix this, the more people will start doing it.
