[1.1.1] Evantis's Permastun Build and Stun Compedium

Let's say, you don't have it:
You hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach, walk up, hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach, walk up, hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach, ...

Let's say you have it:
You hit (from a little further away), hit, knockbacked out of reach, walk up, hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach, walk up, hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach...

The only difference is:
If you walk really close before hitting, you may get a three "hit, hit, hit, knockbacked out of reach" instead of just two hits.

"Master of the Arena" is sitting next to sexy life nodes and very close to Accelaration.
And it offers Strength and Damage. There's not a single reason not to grab it.

So if you are playing with 3 other players in a map with this build, will it have a much harder time stunning monsters because of the increased HP they have?

Is this build good for maps in general?

Stun in groups:
Stun treshold is not affected by number of players. You stun alone -> You stun in group.

Map viabiliy:
Why shouldn't it be?
Same drawbacks as any other melee, and same strengths.
If you like the playstyle and have ok gear, go for it.

Is saffells frame necessary considering I would not have any spell block besides the 12% node, but would have 78% resists and slightly overcapped as well?

Has evantis leave the game.
I like his guide soo much. And i miss his good answers?

Has anyone more information?

so, stun is not HP based but a fixed threshold. Is freezing like this as well? I mean, between stun and freeze, which one to choose for endgame bosses? (people on the other thread about glacial hammer permafreeze are debating if its better, and I believe they haven't seen this thread)

I believe they have seen this thread. ;)

Check out poewiki.com for stun and freeze treshold.

Stun in Poe: more of a "ministun", you have to reapply it permanently to get "stunlock".
Freeze: more noticeable, longer effect, if you "crit-freeze", some monsters stay frozen like forever.

Both are quite effective against normal monsters and minor bosses, quite useless against fat bosses.
