Since then I have also gotten Shayd on Beta and I run both, full time. I also finally got Shayd on live server and she is a full time hero. Her hit rating isn't the best, but I get more stuns from her then I see Cianna get. The runes I try to use are Vitality, Intenseness, Preciseness, and Nimbleness. I am also currently trying a Burliness in Beta since she can be very frail. I find that, formation being key, she can take a beating, dodge a good bit, and when she does hit cause destruction. I am working on my live Shayd, but both my Beta girls hit for around 15K-18K. Just my thoughts on the matter...
I am on a winning streak over 1000 in the arena and i'm ranked number 1 for my realm. I don't even run preciseness on cianna and her stun lock works almost everytime. I am assuming that your taking into account not every hit from Cianna can even be a stun lock as it is a skill move not a regular attack. In my opinion Cianna is one of the best heroes in the game.

As far as the shady's hitting hard, yes they do, in the rare event they do make contact with anything but air. I have 3 lvl 4 rubies embedded that i will never take off at the expense of 100 gems to remove and put a stronger one on.
