I actually have a newfound respect for stun. Apparently it was either a glitch (in which case it happened twice) or Stuns working as it should. I was fighting an Imperial medic yesterday (I am a rebel) I sent my grand wrix in, he took damage, I ran in and pressed polearm stun 2 by accident. he got the little stun marker and I considered it a waste of HAM, so I did sweep 1 to try to make up for the screw up. He fell to the ground and I started pounding him......I started to wonder if he was going to get back up, he did but only to fall down again....By the time he died he never got 1 hit off on me cause he had been on the ground the entire time!!!!! Either Im missing somthing or Stun is my new favorite move! Oh and then it happened again like an hour later on an imperial trooper, on his back for half the fight.

This happened after you stunned him? Are you sure he wan't dizzied somehow?

It's a bug, I'm sure. There's no way the devs intended to allow any knockdown to keep things down indefinitely. I haven't tested it much to make sure, but I have noticed that stun + knockdown results in not getting back up at least some of the time, though the stun may just be coincidence as I use it fairly often. Dizzy doesn't seem to factor into it, as it fails to keep anything down these days.

I've had the same thing happen with a smuggler character stunning and then knocking down with dirty fighting moves. The enemy just lays there until it's dead. I actually thought this had already been fixed, since I haven't seen it happen lately. I sort of hope not, with so many things broken it's nice to have a few bugs that benefit us.

Dont use macros. Back before the KD change, I had a macro that was something like

/ui action toolbarSlot09; /polearmsweep2; /pause 2; /ui action toolbarSlot10

This changed my LVA out for a reinforced combat staff, sweeped, then changed back to LVA. Reduced my HAM cost from about 169 or so, to 45? I believe.

I dont use macro's, because specials hurt, and I find I do more damage without them, without the delays. I hit for an average of 600 damage with a 128-445 LVA every 1.2 seconds.

My technique of fighting, and I can take most things that are yellow, intimidate from 20m, move into range, dizzy, stun, sweep, intimidate again, berserk, stim, beat on it until intimidate is about to drop, rinse repeat intimidate/berserk.

I dont think realize just how much of an ally intimidate is. It reduces damage about half or so. I can tank enraged bull rancors, taking hits from over 500 down to 250, without much healing need. Intimidate sits in my F1 slot, because its my best friend.

Juvy Krayts hit me (although still drop me really fast solo ) for about 250-500 damage, factoring in intimidate and natural wookiee armor.
