Guild Wars 2

Playing around with Chrono for a while with Fractals and the like for weeks now and I just realized this quirk. When using the shield 5 on anything (ANYTHING, including inanimate objects) the target becomes stunned. When using the 5 on a boss with a full stability bar the skill goes ahead and stuns the boss anyway without reducing the bar at all. Twice, one for when it goes out and one for when it comes back. The dazed debuff appears on the object I’m hitting but it does NOT interrupt the npc when in the middle of a skill, only when they aren’t doing anything. The purple highlight also appears around the npc as well, indicating they are “trapped in time”.

This has gotten to the point where fractal groups depend on me to stop the boss from doing anything at any time so they can get a little more damage in. Is this a bug? Hopefully this won’t be nerfed anytime soon, enjoying it a lot.

It shows the stun on the boss because it shows they are being stunned. It does not actually stun them, nor does it interrupt them.

The reason why it shows up now is because of the Breakbar. It, like disabling conditions, appears but does not actually affect the boss. They simply lower the Breakbar.

On non-Breakbar enemies, it does stun.

If you are seeing stuns and interrupts on a Breakbar enemy, it could be due to the massive breaking that ToT does, causing the bar to actually break (and proceed to start kitten stun that DOES go off).
