Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Raminax]

Probably wrong thread to ask (though I'll admit it's lovely), but is anyone else having issues with Leg Sweep's stun not seeming to exist? Does anyone know what triggers it?

To be specific, at times when I perform Leg Sweep, I'll cause the damage and nothing else. I'm not getting any "Stun (Resisted!)" messages popping up. It just seems to act as if there actually isn't a stun component to the skill. It's quite rare that it happens. I usually try interrupting things such as 100-Tonze Swings if the tank is struggling to avoid them, and the stun of Leg Sweep not registering is... both painful and annoying. -_- Am I missing something here? Is there some separate accuracy check for the Stun? Or does it require you to hit from a particular angle, such as the Impulse Drive combo or Heavy Thrust?

There are two different things.

1. A stun can be resisted if you've hit diminishing returns. You're not seeing this; this is not what is happening.

2. Many boss attacks cannot be interrupted. The bosses are immune to stun -- not because of diminishing returns (Resisted!), but because they are coded to give a big F U ,,|,, to interrupt mechanics.


You're seeing #2. Run away from 100-Tonze Swing .

Leg Sweep is notoriously unreliable. From my experience whether or not the stun will apply depends entirely on when you use it during your usual ability spam. If you use an ability whose animation is easily canceled then Leg Sweep should be fine, however other abilities do not interrupt as easily and this seems to balls up whether the stun is applied or not. It doesn't matter if you get the stun off while the spell is still casting, it still won't apply (you'll even see the little "+Stun" thing in the scrolling combat text).

It's pretty annoying.
