Warrior Kick, 55+ stun
 

At level 55, warriors gain a chance to perform a stun with their kick. Does this have any implications for aggro generation?

Curious to know this if I'm ever in a tanking situation where I have a chance of taking a hard-hitting riposte. Thank you.

Doesn’t seem to do any extra aggro.

Melee stuns were bugged in classic (and long after) to not generate the additional aggro they were intended to.

Sorry this doesn't help.

No extra aggro. It’s an extra button to press “just because” on most mobs. On caster mobs it can be quite useful.

Man though … if it had even half the aggro of a melee weapon stun proc … that’d be sweet.

Not the answer that I was hoping for, but good to know for sure. Jimjam, if you have any source regarding the melee stuns being intended to aggro, I'd be curious to take a look.

The stun component seems to hit just as often as not. Are there any firm numbers about the proc chance?

If the mob is casting and you kick and the kick hits, my experience is it always interrupts anything that can be interrupted/stunned.

Exceptions are like stun immune giants in Kael etc that can only be interrupted with push.

It was a dev post on the live forums around about Dragons of Norrath time. It is why they suddenly started adding a lot of furious bash items.

Thank you both for the information. That's what I needed to know.

Works great in duels too

press moar button do moar hitty-hit

I still do compulsively even though it only adds like 0.5-2 dps lol

But let’s be honest, when playing a warrior there really aren’t that many buttons to push. Other than positioning a mob and being ready to taunt … having that extra button to HULK SMASH sure does make me feel like a real avenger.

I try not to just spam bang it though if the mob is a caster … especially if said caster is a cleric trying to heal itself or a Krup wizard trying to melt my face off.

But yeah if a 55+ kick generated full stun hate it would be a lot more useful. Even if it had like a 40 second refresh timer. It certainly would make holding aggro easier.
