    awww.... Well I guess i have more homework to do about that, but I am guessing it's not a bad thing ever in non-boss fights right? I mean, they still last a short time and it sounds like interrupting one of the possibly 2 or 3 effects may be a time saver...

    Was kind of fun to do something besides raw DPSing, I mean, tanks and healers seem to do a lot much more in their roles, was thinking stunning/interrupting was kinda of a DPS role. Sad to be wrong.

    Don't take it out of your wheelhouse completely. Just don't use it whenever it is available on bosses. Sometimes it will be a dragoon or monk handling the stuns .. it depends on the party. But spamming stuns will mean it won't work when you need it to. On non-bosses, go for it.

    I would actually disagree with this in most scenarios. -Most- bosses are already immune to Stun so you'll want to use OGCD Stuns upon cooldown for the damage that they cause. Honestly, the only exception I can really think of is Ifrit's Eruptions that can be Stunned. There are adds in several boss fights which you need to Stun and don't want to build the resistance up, Leviathan, T5, Forgall (even this can be silenced though if stun resistance is too high), orb phase of Brawler etc. However, it's something that you have to learn on a fight by fight basis. I will tell you that my default mode is to use Brutal Swing (WAR stun) as soon as it is up.
