Heavy stun on player is ridiculous

I can understand why the player stun bar exists to act as a negative force against the player, but there are very significant issues with it.

First, it's not explained... anywhere??? Suddenly, I'm just getting stunned for what, FIVE seconds? It took me getting stunned at least 10 times before I even noticed the bar above my flasks. I have no idea of any way to counter it outside of getting additional stun threshold, which seems quite ridiculous that such a significant loss of player ability has no way to counter or play around?

Second, the length of the stun is utterly insane. I believe that it also removes defences like blocking. So, when I get heavy stunned, I can't move/dodge roll/do ANY OF THE DEFENSIVE MANUEVERS YOU'VE TRAINED ME TO USE IN YOUR GAME, AND THE DEFENCES I'VE BUILT ARE NOW USELESS. FOR FIVE WHOLE SECONDS it feels like. The specific coded number may be 4, or even 3, but it's still an extremely long amount of time to take all the player power I've built up for my character.


Third, it seems like the bar can be built up WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY STUNNED? The only thing I can do for FIVE WHOLE SECONDS is drink my flasks and when I can finally get up I see that my stun bar is nearly FULL again and I immediately get heavy stunned and almost certainly die because I CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR TEN WHOLE SECONDS IN A GAME WHERE EVERY SECOND IS MEANT TO MATTER.

And fourth, it's seemingly impossible to discern at a first glance which enemies will stun you more than others. Obviously, there are some rare enemies that have the 'stuns' tag. But there are also certainly regular mobs that build up your stun bar more than others, and I have no idea how to discern that, because once again IT HASN'T BEEN EXPLAINED ANYWHERE.

Please let me play your game.

I really havent dug into the mechanics to deep yet, but i wonder, cause i almost never get stunned (at least doesnt seem like it, dont notice it). So question...

Is getting stun build up affected by health perhaps? Cause its actually the only stat i have been focused on atm. Which is hard to get mind you... Thanks GGG for leaving Warriors with like uhhh, no life compared to ES... again!

Stone charm.

Great!You can be heavy stunned!
Almost everyone else will died befroe they are heavy stunned!

As far as I know, the only way to be heavy stunned is by blocking and parrying, the bar goes down pretty quickly if you stop doing either.

That explains it. I never use raise shield.

I have the same Bug, apparently, i t could be a shader bug in your computer, that make your "taking down" and your car trying to get up infinitly as long as you the mobs "stuns" you,
Hilarous bug ty, my car become unplayable.
Hope they fix this at 0.3 .

Just Noticed the stun bar near the Potions. Was using Resonating Shield, that what had make me heavy stuns. Just have to less use it for not being stun.
In fact it s weird, i wanna use it for packmobs cleaning, but more mobs they are, more stuns i got. and more mobs they are, more use of this skill i need .
So idk, it's a kind of nonsense.
