Unwavering Stance

Just to clear things up; US "Cannot evade enemy attacks" would make it pointless to stack Evasion, correct? Sorry for the dumb question still learning this game

I'm pretty sure I would not recommend allocating passive skill points to any evasion nodes while using Unwavering Stance, unless you also use Iron Reflexes and turn it into armor. Same thing for your gear.

I may be wrong though. *shrugs*

If you want to stack evasion after picking up unwavering stance, the only way it will be beneficial to you is if you have iron reflexes. Any evasion without that keystone is a waste.

I have a question relating to this keystone as well, and was going to post it in the mechanics thread to ask until I saw this. Sorry to jack your thread :P

If I am using a shield, according to the mechanics thread a block animation is only played if you block an attack that would have stunned you, and those attacks which would not stun you are blocked with no animation. If you have Unwavering Stance and cannot be stunned, does this also mean all blocks will not have a block animation, and therefore block/stun recovery is completely useless?

Youll never play any stun-related animations with unwavering stance. So yes, it makes stun recover / block recover nodes and affixes useless.

You know this for sure? Charan gave me a different answer and he even said he talked to some alpha members too. If you're right though, this is a huge help as it'll save me several passives that I'd otherwise dump into block recovery.

Bump. Does Unwavering Stance prevent block stun?
