100% + increased stun and block recovery

About Stuns and Stuns/Block Recovery, the mechanic thread says the following :

Whenever a player or monster takes damage, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played. The default length of stuns is 350ms. The duration of stuns can be altered by reduced block and stun recovery, increased stun duration, and similar modifiers.


So, what if, with equipments/passives, I have 100% increased stun and block recovery (or more) ? Does it means that the stun duration will be reduced by 100% ? That completely eliminates stuns, right ?

The calculation could be done differently though, but how ?

My guess is that the animation would just play 100% faster. (i.e. twice as fast - 175ms)

I had a character with over 100% recovery and the animation still plays.

EDIT: I'm not 100% sure about this because I didn't play that char for a while (it is in legacy) so my memory might be a bit blurred.

So if what you say is right, the formula to calculate stun duration would be something like :

350 ms - (175 ms * increased stun/block recovery %)

No that can't be right. I also made that up, it's a guess.

What I meant was that your recovery speed is 100% by default, which makes your stuns last 350ms. If you get 100% bonus from passives and gear, your stun recovery speed is 200% (100% default + 100% bonus) and becomes effectively -50% stun duration, 300% stun recovery would become -66% stun duration etc.

Mathematically I have no idea how to write it down. If I find out I'll report back;)
Edit: I guess it would be as simple as 350ms/(1+bonus)

This is something I thought, very possible to be wrong.

175 is the result so you can hardly have that in the formula :P

If wiggin is right (which makes sense to me) then the formula would be

350 ms / (1 + increased stun/block recovery%)

*Edit: Good guess

or you can just the passive that makes it so you can't be stunned and just laugh off stuns... lol and yeah believe it would double the recovery time.

better calc to find stun duration would be: 350/(1+increased stun/block recovery % in decimal form)

ex. 20% increased recovery:
350/(1+.2)= 291.6ms

this give the correct equation for a 100% stun recovery as well!
350/(1+1)= 175ms

the other equasion works for the 100% but not the other.
350 ms - (175 ms * increased stun/block recovery %)

100%
350-(175*1)= 175ms (correct)

20%
350-(175*.2)= 315ms (incorrect based on check)
350*.8 = 280ms (the check)

Even if the 350/(1+bonus) thing is right, the stun duration might come into the equation after that.

As in: Stun duration = [350ms / (1 + decimal stun recovery)] * (1 + decimal stun duration)

Is it even any different from what you guys say? I'm so bad for not knowing this.

My guess is that stun duration and increased stun recovery are calculated in the same formula :

350 / 1 + (increased stun recovery - increased stun duration)

So, if you have 70% increased stun recovery and the monster smashing at you has 30% increased stun duration, the stun duration would be :

=350 / 1 + (0.70 - 0.30)

=350 / 1.40

=250 ms

Edit :

According to Mark's answer later in that thread, increased stun duration and increased stun recovery are calculated separately. So, in that case of 70% increased stun recovery and 30% increased stun duration, the proper calculation would be :

350 * 1.3 = 450 ms

=450 / 1.70

=265 ms

i'm opening excel again....

calc with stun duration thrown in is this is think.

(350(1+stun duration))/(1+stun recovery)
50% increased duration and 20% recovery
(350(1+.5)/(1+.2)= 437.5
