Once a mob is stunned with one hundred blows any subsequent damage dealt to it
has a chance to break the stun. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's why it lasted so long the first time, then broke the second time once you wacked it. hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

One Hundred Blows stun duration was changed in PVE to be variable here.

One Hundred Blows - 6 sec or 12 sec

Or

One Hundred Blows - 3 sec, 6 sec, 9 sec, 12 sec

I can't remember which of the two it was.

[Ambrotos]

As I recall it wears off and gives the message like it was the full duration. Pretty sure it was covered in the old Tstaff bug thread when it was changed. No idea about the first part of your log tho.

I almost want to say Whirl till you Hurl is the same way, and it will break before giving the message.

[Tecmos Deception]

Yeah, whirl acts the same way.

[Splorf22]

My understanding was that only hits would break whirl. I could be wrong. You can also see that in the first part it had a nominal duration of 18s.
