Character stops moving when hit

When i'm running while getting hit by mobs whether its melee or ranged, my character stops running and makes her noise when she gets hit. What is making my character stop running? This happens even on mobs that have just fire resis and no special affixes. it's annoying because i'm trying to run away or kite and my character just stops dead in her tracks and the mobs catch up.

You get stunned, read the thread in my signature if you'd like to know why its happening.

get stunned noob

ahh ok. figured it might of been stun but wasnt sure since its never happened this much before. its as if every hit stuns me and if i'm getting hit by multiple mobs i can forget it, i wont be able to move and i'm dead. i did swap some gear around yesterday so i mustve lost whatever stun recovery i had so now i'm just seeing it.

thx

Remember that not only is there stun recovery to aid you in kiting, you can also just gain more maximum HP as you have to take a certain % of your HP in damage from a single hit to be stunned in the first place.

I've been playing with a character with Unwavering Stance for so long, I've forgotten what being stunned feels like.
