Kind of a newb here, but is that possible with a decent slice? Is it normal? Is it rare? I used to be an armorsmith but never did stun armor, so tell me please
and please no flaming 
thanks
and i know it's not possible at all unsliced. I mean sliced just to clear it up.

I'm sure it is. as long as the base is 65% or more. you'd still need a good effect slice though

Adding stun layers to comp puts stun in the special protection line which can't be sliced, so the stun resist is purly based on the layer quality. 85% base is possible with a good eff slice. The ~65% base comp needed for 85% base isn't hard to make really, but its really heavy.

yes its possible, an armorsmith was doing it on shadowfire, but of course it will take a good number of pieces to get good enough slices

87% base is the max possible you can get on Shadowfire with current resources. I've made thousands of pieces of Stun armor and only got 1 87% base piece.

40% stun/90% base is possible, at least on Chilastra. People are making 40% stun/67% base pre-slice right now, which is the bare minimum needed to hit 90% base (with a 34-35% eff slice on all pieces). You need 12 points and the best resourcesbut it's certainly possible.

I've been a bit luckier than that, but it's still exceedingly rare. I tend to send 45 suits of 40% stun / 65% base and 45 suits of 80% kinetic / 70% base to my slicer at the same time. I almost always get back more 80% kinetic / 90% baseparts than I do 40% stun / 85%+ base parts.
But that's the nice thing about being an armorsmith, isn't it? I've got both 80% kinetic / 90% base and 40% stun / 85% base suits for my alt.

My PvP suit is 83/43 stun helm/chest and 90/28 rest.
I'd rather have that then 90/40 I think.

Yes its really not that hard to make. Its all in the slice. On Naritus you will prolly need 3-5 suits to get the right slices. My 80Kin, 70Base suits cost 200k a piece just to give ya a frame of reference. Sometimes I make single layer elec suites using Janta hides andNS layersto make high base, low encum suites just for this purpose. Obviously this can be very costly. Thing is PvPers on my server arent afraid to pay a few mil for a suit like this.
Its not unheard of to have a customer request a factory run of 10 suits just to reach these stats based on random slices.

Goodness you boys on other servers are spoiled.
On valcyn we cant seem to find any good Crism, so our armor never goes above 36-37%, and also the highest non-enhanced base we were making was 70%, but that wasnt stun, that was kinetic. Best stun ive seen was 37% stun and 69% base. I wish we had the kinda resources you fellas had
