being stun locked

[Ban885]

is is poe gonna to change being stun locked by minions that using charge/leap attacks
especially when a group of them use it and you are stunned to death,
same goes with like mobs using cold damage they instantly freeze you and you cannot move.

I don’t think so as there are ways to avoid being stun locked.

'Soul of Brine King' in the patheon or 'Unwavering Stance' keystone can help deal with stun. Chances are you're being stunned due to not having a high enough life value and taking big hits.

With freeze you either flask it off or get immunity to freeze on your gear/passives. In the current patch you can have your flasks auto unfreeze you without having to press any buttons.

Soul of the Brine King? Stun support can be more useful then CWDT at times.

There is even a new flasks against stuns now, saw that in act 7 as a reward.
Or just get a suffix on any flask to lower MS stun duration.

There is some stuff on the skill tree as well with a few points of investment, unwavering stance is the go-to node for any melee on the left side of the tree, else there is broken dodge on the right, or just blind for 50% evade.

Stun Support is a godsend imo.

Any high dps or high burst works with it. Unless of course there is a global CD on stun-locking mobs.

I think the winning move there is to have something that either stops stuns altogether or stops them temporarily after you got stunned once. Immortal call to survive the stun chain and then movement skills to get out also works, as does having dodge/block/evasion to avoid getting hit by every single stun.
Do keep in mind that stun chance is based on the damage taken compared to maximum hp. As such, you might want to get something like Valyrium if you've got an ES character to make your stun based on ES instead. That should bump you out of range of most normal critters stunning you.
As mentioned above, there's a key node and a potion that can also prevent it, while peeps like Slayers can just get immune while leeching.

I can't recall when was the last time i did not have Brine King.
It's pretty much mandatory. I have never used any other major god pantheon.
