Stagger Functionality (How to Turn a Boss into a Training Dummy):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Written by Avarilyn
Each CC type has a set stagger amount based on the CC duration. If you apply
the same CC multiple times in a short time, it has reduced stagger effectiveness
compared to using multiple types of CC.
Bosses have a total of 200 stagger HP. That means 23 ranks of Crippling
Darkness (23 second stun) would generate a total of:
* 7.652 x 23 = 175.996 Stagger
This means that you would almost instantly stagger the boss when you trigger
Crippling Darkness.
Each time the boss is staggered, there is a multiplier applied to your stagger
damage to artificially make it take longer for the next stagger.
* Stagger 0: 100% of usual stagger
* Stagger 1: 80% of usual stagger
* Stagger 2: 60% of usual stagger
* Stagger 3 onwards: 10% of usual stagger
That means for Stagger 3 and onwards, the boss takes 10 times as long to stagger
as it did for the first stagger.
CC duration on gear also proves to be completely additive and not multiplicative
of any sort. The test used Smoke Bomb, which has 20.4 Stagger Damage without CC
increase, and adding Exploiter, Smiting and CC Duration on gear, it ended up being:
* 20.4 x (1+0.12+0.173+0.4+0.2) = 38.5968
In game, this value was shown as 38.59, so likely minor rounding errors.
From quick testing, elites seem to become unstoppable after roughly 5-6 seconds
of hard CC (used 12 second Daze, and they kept breaking out roughly half way
through). This unstoppable lasts for 8 seconds.
Barbarian: How to Regenerate Fury on Boss Stage:
------------------------------------------------
Make sure you have atk reduce evade on boots and evade cooldown temper, have
resource Gen masterworked on ring, have resource gen masterworked on your banished
lords.
To maximize your fury vs bosses, try this rotation:
* Charge up fury first with meta dashes, then spin and kick.
* WotB, then meta after 4 secs, get to full fury, ww, then kick.
* Then pop rallying cry, meta, ww and kick again.
* Then you stand in a boss shadow ability, pop challenging shout to tank the hit,
and use the damage taken to regenerate fury, and ww to kick again.
* When all these skills are on cd you use meta spam to regenerate fury.
* Also, starless will really help you reduce the amount of resource ww is draining.
