I dont want to live with it, its stupid even stupider then the hero innm which needs to be burned to the ground.

Your point no matter how accurate is a nonsense reason to reduce stun rates. I could see if thurcydides didnt stun well because he is a blue hero. But why should he not stun well and cianna and shyads stun rates drop in half? They shouldnt. I believe this is a bug and needs fixed and have opened a ticket. I encourage others to open tickets as well

Reducing the stun rates is not all bad imo shayd was kind of unbalance agasint bosses

New heroes are rubbish? Have you seen Bryn stun? No I don't think you have.

Learn the game before you complain.

Block decreases several forms of damage.

All mages can block, it reduces the damage they take from physical attacks. Since I started using Herja as a tank I have seen her block attacks quite often. But mages don't counter attack.

I actually agree with this. I do wish they hadn't also apparently reduced Shayd's hit rate. I could be wrong, but it certainly seems that she was hitting far less then she used to against the same bosses. I wouldn't mind the loss of stun rate if she would just HURT something. But the combination makes her nearly worthless. Same goes with Smoulder, if he hit everyone, he would be a bit more worthwhile, although his low damage would still be a bit frustrating. Its the weird decision on Tynon part to make higher end mages have a high base miss rate then physical attacks that is one of the primary things keeping mages from being useful. Add in the lack of ability to crit and you exacerbate the problem.

Dont know why everyone thinks Shayd is useless, only reason I was able to beat the Judgment sword/staff boss in heroics was because of Shayd, as of right now there is no stunner better then shayd except for Aphrodites which most dont have .
