Stun

Template:Under Construction Template:Infobox Stun is a Crowd Control strategy that causes an opponent to stop both movement and attack. Stun functions much like Knock Down but the opponent stays on their feet and is not thrown to the ground. Stuns apply a Resist Crowd Control on the target (which causes the target to become temporarily resistant to subsequent stuns/knockdowns/mesmerizes/roots).

The following abilities have a chance to stun an opponent, and are being tested/confirmed as to if they generate crowd control resistance. Please edit this page if you can confirm or deny resistance.

Ability	School	Is Resist Crowd Control Applied?
Crushing Blow	Bludgeon school	Yes
Knockback	Bludgeon school	Yes for Stun / Yes for Knock Back (Will apply two stacks of Crowd Control Resistance if both are applied.)
Ground Pound	Bludgeon school	Yes (Stun is only possible if player is Bludgeon Specialization)
Body Slam	Heavy Armor school	Yes
Gust	Air Magic	No for Knock Back / Yes for Stun
Discharge	Air Magic	Yes
Lightning	Air Magic	Yes
Chain Lightning	Air Magic	Yes
Lightning Storm	Air Magic	Yes
Charge	Shield school	Yes for the Knock Down / Yes for the Stun (Will apply double Crowd Control Resistance if both apply.)
Shield Bash	Shield school	Yes for Stun / Yes for Knock Back (Will apply two stacks of Crowd Control Resistance if both are applied.)
Sap	Subterfuge Skills	Yes for mesmerize (the tool tip is inconsistent: it uses both stun and mesmerize to describe the crowd control component. However, this skill appears to apply a mesmerize, and not a stun).
Chaos Bolt	Chaos Magic	Unknown/Untested
Flaming Bash	Shield school + Fire Magic	Yes for stun (the tool tip is inconsistent: it uses both stun and mesmerize to describe the crowd control component. However, this skill appears to apply a stun, and not a mesmerize).
Shield Smash	Shield school + Earth Magic	Yes for knockback; Stun is broken, so this skill does not stun (so a stun induced Resist Crowd Control never gets applied).
Shock Arrow	Ranged school + Air Magic	Unknown/Untested
Titan Smash	Bludgeon school + Heavy Armor school	No for Knock Back / Yes for Stun
Stone Fist	Earth Magic	Yes for Stun
