I see why 50% stun avoidance was created?

That being said, it like to understand more about partial ES and HP calculations.

So ill simplify it to make it easier to understand. A melee toon with 50 ES and 2k HP is hit very hard, hard enough to be stunned. So does he get a 50% chance to avoid that stun?

The stun reduction comes from chaos inoculation passive, not from ES gear in general.

Are you implying that CI gives 50% chance to avoid being stunned?

Im quiet sure that CI doesnt give the effect, unless they changed something recently. In the mechanic thread ES is stated to always give 50% stun avoidance whenever you have more then 0 ES.

If that is correct, when i have 1 ES should i still have 50% chance to avoid the stun?

ES gives 40% stun evasion, as long as you have so I think even if you have 2k hp and 2 ES you would have chance to avoid stun for 1 hit. CI does nothing with stun evasion. It only gives 50% more ES and chaos damage immunity at cost of all life -1.

This is not true. Any amount of ES on any character, whether they have CI or not, is granted the 50% stun resist. In your example, YES, they have a 50% chance to avoid that stun. Even 1 ES gives you that bonus.

ok, I realize I should dig for validation.....gimmie a sec...

As long as you have greater than 0 Energy Shield, you have a 50% chance to avoid stun.

This is from the mechanics thread if you're interested.

I'm wrong, oh well.

Thanks guys for double checking with me.
