Should a Stunlock Groundslammer Use Multistrike?

"
Trading DPS for increased stun will always slow you down by that bit. It only buys you some survivability for that little bit of stun time.


You don't trade DPS for stun, DPS increases your stunning ability. The ability to stunlock bosses gives you far more true DPS than any other support. No repositioning, constant dodging or anything else required.

In the version I just posted, you don't even use the stun gem with your main DPS clearing skill, the purpose of stun is mainly done for completely stunlocking bosses(they don't move at all and do no skills). It's not simply "little bit of stun time".

Show us a video. I have not seen stunlock work so well in the past. I want to see it now.

Permastunning multiple map bosses, granted this is 1.1.1, but it works

He's doing it with a onehand too which has a lot worse stunning ability than a two hand. Shows a pretty good example of stunlocking a boss though.

Do note that stun scales off single player HP so you can also stunlock just the same in a group.
