Stun-resist indication

[Xerkrosis]

Is there some display which mobs can be stunned?
I know mobs build up a temporary stun resistance, when they've been stunned many times in a row. Not talking about that.
I mean the ones who have stun resistance right away. Would like to see which one I can actually stun before I waste Low Blow and it becomes too late to run out of the AoE.

In early dungeons you can even stun bosses, in later dungeons some big mobs resist stuns.

If the enemies cast bar flashes yellow it means it can be stunned, if red it means it can be interrupted, but a good rule of thumb is past ARR any dungeon boss/adds can't be stunned, but any trash can be, there'll be some exceptions but it generally sticks.

I'd rather see the stun resist buff on enemies over guessing.

I'd rather see what type of damage an attack does so I know if I should waste my "magical only" mitigation or not but hey.... I think it's pretty easy to assume most mobs can be stunned and bosses can't.

I'd also like that too, but you know, I'd also like to know if something can or cannot stun so that way I'm not wasting Low Blow/Leg Sweep...

Maybe colour code the floating text of different types of incoming damage to indicate what type of damage it is, as well as in the battle log, if it isn't already, probably be the best way to go about implementing it.

I mean in most cases if the target is immune to stun, there's probably nothing in the next 30 seconds that gonna be stunnable, so doesn't actually matter. Tank and Melee stuns are pretty minor use, especially if you got a WHM in the party. I find myself using Interject more than I do stuns.

I mean.. literally every mob that isn't "boss-like" in every dungeon. So you can't stun bosses themselves, or anything that looks like it's bigger than everything else you're pulling. Idk, seems self explanatory, then if you do kick something that for some reason isn't stunnable... you learn not to do it again.

I thought of that too. Would really help since even if you mitigate something that is correct to the damage it is... you never really know the difference 90% of the time.

What?

No, if it flashes, then it can be INTERUPTED, using the interupt skill that is only accessible to tanks and ranged physicals. The cast bar does not go red at any point to indicate it can be stunned.
