Hits that should stun me aren't, why?

Hi,

I'm currently building a self-stunner with the new jewels, wanting to use Cast When Stunned to trigger spells in rapid succession.

The issue is, that even though I take a significant amount of damage (100+), none of my self hits seem to stun me.

The wiki has no indication that self hits couldn't stun you, neither is it noted anywhere.

Is it just buggy at the moment, is it an inherent thing (that just isn't explained and I wasted about 10 hours now) or what is it?

To stun myself, I equipped a Gluttony Belt and specced into the Mastery to base my Stun Threshold on ES - since I have 0 ES, I should get stunned by taking 1 damage already. This works when thedamage source is my enemy.


Thank you and have a pleasant day,
Midan

Self damage can't stun you, this is intended.

Reflected damage can't stun too, so Hiltless won't work either.

Stunning yourself is not a valid action in the game engine, because under normal circumstances it can lead to infinite loops. There are explicit warnings that occur if it happens, so we can fix it. Scold's Bridle happened to avoid the infinite loop until crash because of a timing technicality, that doesn't mean it's safe to leave in long term.

On of the base rules we have to have as a consequence of how damage works is that players are unable to stun themselves with damage.

I'm not qualified to comment on balance concerns (there may have been some as well), but any time I'm told something can stun itself, I know something needs fixed.

Per Mark. It's an old post, but it remains true.

Is that how they treat player complaints on balance/design? :)
As in, "you are all not qualified, we are not listening to you" :kap:

Thank you for your answers, that makes my build extra sad now; gotta look how I cope with that and if I keep the CWS setups intact. :)
