RDM/DRK and stun (post update)

[cassiraa]

Pretty sure stun is bound to the 95% acc rule *now.

Pretty sure it wasn't before, at least, on stuff that didn't resist stun.

[Judai]

We spam Bio on him all the time, never hurt resists. It was either just a random resist or maybe Shield Bash helps up the resists. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Really, if you can't recover from a missed Fulm or two, you have more things to worry about then missing a stun.

Could have also been a thoughtless person using a Platinum Grip?

The grip doesn't proc enough to be an issue, be lucky if it went off once in 5 of these fights.
Just sold my grip, worthless.

Also forgot to add this: wings never went down the whole fight, that's never happened for us before

This isn't new, hasn't happened to my LS but another LS that manaburns everything has had it happened to them a few times.

dont you just need high spike damage from say a rng to bring down its wings?

[Judai]

Crit attacks and crit WSs seem to break his wings.

Random stuff has always randomly resisted stun in my experience. Never very often, but certainly not 100%

RDM/DRK 210 dark skill, Jupiter staff: all 3 stuns I casted on Khimaira were resisted

before update: I casted in 200skill and never used jupiter staff, never was resisted.

--
Fought Cerberus earlier but I was /blm so I can't report on rdm/drk stuning him

Main question is why weren't you using Jupiter's Staff before? lol. As for going 3/3 resisted stuns, it's probably just bad luck.

edit: And yes although the chance is very low, most/all mobs can possibly resist stun. I've had it happen to me once or twice on Ebony Puddings.

I didn't have one because I don't nuke on rdm (ever) and having a jupiter staff for a spell well known for having 99% accuracy is kinda stupid (and a waste of inventory space) the reason I have now is I've been leveling blm.

hell alot of my stuns probably got cast with terra staff on, still never saw a resist (Terra on would be my "standing" macro as a just incase I get hit) and I cast stun from the menu so i don't equip change for it.

[Shuemue]

Well now you've learned that if you half-ass shit, it'll bite back eventually.

[Seditedi]

You CS Stunned DL before w/o a Jupiter's Staff or even its NQ??????

sorry my LS small mans stuff, and doesn't have number for DL, ofcourse we can beat every other dynamis with under 12 people

[Rocl]

Doesn't Terra staff impose a penalty on Thunder spells? >_> That certainly wouldn't help, lol

[Vail]

in theory it would: but I still didn't get resisted once in 50+ combined cerb/khimairas

not every stun was cast in terra staff, but I'm sure a fair number was, aswell as pluto's staff, apollo's staff and my seveneyes for all I know.

the likely cause was the pld's shield bashing.

[Shuemue]

the likely cause was the pld's shield bashing.

While the shield bashing may have increased resistance, the fact you're casting without the correct staff is also not going to help.

Go spend 10k and get +10% accuracy on your stun.

[Seditedi]

Yes Rocl, -15% M.Acc from using Terra's staff on thunder spells lol...

[aurik]

My 58 blm got resisted stuns on cerb with a terra's staff, switched my macro to macro jupiter and problem solved.

[Evelyn]

never been stun resisted on cerb or tiamat, but Khimmy resists do happen and have happened for a while. Last time we had serious problems with it was when we had a NIN/DRK tanking. Even with 210 skill and a Jupiter's Staff I'd get 50%+ resists by the end. its gotten to the point where we just use BLMs to stun now.

go re-read what I posted, all my resisted stuns were cast with Jupiter's Staff

Hope to god that your NIN/DRK wasn't using Stun in his hate routine.. lol. NIN/DRK works, but can't really use stun that often, absorb works in place of stun, but yeah, don't use stun.

[Evelyn]

that was before we realized it resists stun that badly. But either way, Khimmy still has and does resist rdm stun, so extra magic acc and skill is needed.
