Description

Inflicted By (Ability)

Stun

This effect stops the enemy in their tracks for a couple of seconds, giving you the chance to retaliate or flee. Rogues can take advantage of stunned enemies for automatic critical hits. Victims forget their current target and may choose a new one when re-evaluating threat.
