Game Mechanics: Giant and dragon stuns

[Nirgon]

Source:

--==Extra Info on Stun Immunity By Ugli Itchibottom==--
Ogres can not be stunned in PvP melee. Period. Not from the front, not from behind, not even from behind with slam/bash. Most NPCs bashing can only stun them from behind. Exceptions are giant class MOBs, which includes giants of course, and cyclops, as well as sarnaks and Drolvargs in Kunark, and wurms/wyverns/dragons. Giant class mobs even get a chance to interrupt with normal hits, not just bashes. Other mobs can *ONLY* stun Ogres from behind with bash. PCs can not stun them except with spells.
----===----

I do certainly recall giants and dragons being stun masters in melee. Meaning they stun you hard core... you don't stun them.

However, the addition of sarnaks and drolvargs is quite interesting and not something I'd remember!

I haven't seen any of these mobs stun on their regular melee attacks, but they should have a chance to do so.

Maybe others want to contribute as I keep hunting.

That addresses ogres. How bout regular melee from giant sized? Should stun peeps.

I remember running past the 2 drolvargs in front of KC and getting stunned quite a darn bit.

[heartbrand]

Pretty sure this is inaccurate whoever posted that. I remember Furor raging how the ogre warriors in guild could tank the velious shit and hold aggro because of frontal stun immunity but he couldn't.

[Nirgon]

I'm not saying ogres shouldn't have this problem with dragons+giants...

I'm just saying that the regular attacks on dragons and giants should have a chance to stun here and having been attacked by fire giants... I can confirm they don't.

These mobs appear to also be able to bash for more than regular mobs:

[22:38:22] Derakor the Vindicator bashes YOU for 202 points of damage.

Gorenaire bashes YOU for 131 points of damage.

Gorenaire bashes YOU for 124 points of damage.

[Metallikus]

i'd like to point out that on most of these logs you posted where the guy gets stunned, it is either from a bash or a KICK (warrior style stun). The only one without a bash or kick is the one where a temple guard hits the guy at the same time vindi is whipping his ass.

[Nirgon]

Could be 55+ mob kick but I don't think so? The first one of Derakor is rock solid.

[Nirgon]

Here's something Nilbog used as evidence before, these are plane of hate mobs that aren't bashing and still managing to stun on regular melee hits (forsaken revs are casters, no bash... hm!):
