Smite should affect Nurgle blessed enemies
Amazing that your whole role can be invalidated because one single guy in a mob can walk up to you and calmly one-shot you through lightning in his brain

It's almost like they're BLESSED to be TOUGHER! Wow! What a concept!

I mean, what exactly is preventing you from stopping your attack, equiping your melee and then dodging?
If you spotted him that way, you should've at least had enough time to switch your weapons

Sorry that not every enemy can be completely stunned to death for free :bbtcat:

You got time to charge smite, let it bounce for a moment to stun the horde, then swap to your staff/melee. It makes sense though, smite can't be the 100% stun lock for all (as opposed to say Trauma staff to knock over big guys) so I wouldn't be surprised if we find a new mob or so eventually that laughs at it.
All the trash not killing effects have so many asterisks involved you should just stick to killing things generally. If your game plan for dealing with elites is hoping people kill them when shocked you'll be let down by randoms a lot.

braindead answer. Why not make them flameproof, bleedproof, critproof, 95% damage reduction, ranged proof, if they're so blessed?
Take the snark to reddit no one wants it here

Learn to read. One blessed rager in a mob of crushers maulers heretics gunners etc etc etc, walks calmly through your CC to one-shot you.

There should at least be SOME stun threshold for nurgle hblessed, they shouldnt be simply immune to siutun

You're meant to prioritize them to avoid that end result.

It's the entire gimmick.

I've not heard of this blessed mechanic l. I haven't left herssy yet. Is there a difference that lets you identify them? Initially 8 thought it was just some enemy types but I assume it's some thing specific to auric a game mode I'm only just ready to try on heresy.
You have me intrigued

If you can't smite them with smite. Smite them with your staff.

Makes sense, the ZERO dps skill designed to stagger enemies does not stagger, and the crit one-shot staff that isn't designed to stagger does! Who developed this, Riot?

Unless it was a recent change as I have yet to try it, the smite staff was always meant to be the CC staff, so the weapon designed to stagger, does stagger. Granted I've yet to touch it since the rework.

I think you both miss the point, his "smite with your staff" mean outright kill it, not stun it.
