Stifle & Stun

Sres · 09-01-2009, 06:37 AM

Any advice on stats/kit that help to avoid stifles & stuns, or at least reduce the frequency, as an example last night a group with myself tanking went into Scion of Ice and the books gave us a bit of trouble with myself body pulling and getting stifled on the pull.

Just a note, I'm in a casual guild, so not looking for raid capable gear etc. Mainly doing Void Shard and instances.

Here's my current stats and a link for my kit on EQ2Players:

Death March, then pull?

Freedom of Minds.

Immunity Signets.

Aura of the Crusader in the TSO tree come's in handy quite often. If that isn't possible then I would Suggest buying some Immunity signets from the city merchants in East Freeport/South Qeynos

Never thought of Death March before pulling, good call.

I'm working on Aura of the Crusader, it's next on my list of things to get with AA, just working on the 10 in the Crusader list, not far now.

Tell you healer to be quick with the cures on pull.

Scion is way easy.. Dont really need to cast it every time its up in that zone... Save DM for when ya need it in that zone like those books and those griffs at the bottom... gets easier with aura of course

Don't run into the little crystal egg traps either, they put a pretty long duration uncurable stifle on you. Everything else should be curable, so just have your healer watching.

Agreed Scion is easy, it's the books and griffins that caused us a lot of problems (or at least the left mob).

I used Death March before pulling last night which was great with some mobs in the Necrotic Asylum.

Yeah get aura of the crusader ASAP. Combined with freedom of mind/action pots, that will resolve 50% of your stun/stifle issues. It's one of our better abilities.

The remaining 50% are incurable stuns/stifles that pots/aura don't work on...like those stupid eggs in scion, several mobs in NA, and the void slide from Tythus. You can't remove those, but you can immune yourself from them with deathmarch/sanctuary/signets.

Then there's a 3rd set of control effects you can do nothing about, like the ice from hammer in NA, the ice from Mynzak, and the detarget/force targets of Tyrranus, Anashti, and 2nd dude in Munzoks.
