Stun + expel, does it overwrite?

I've never been a fan of expel because it stuns you. I tried it on a few genies a while ago but always removed it for AD or an anti-stun skill.

But I was thinking if a sin pops stealth on you with a stun (lets say level 10 headhunt for a 5 second stun) and you hit expel would the expel overwrite the other stun?

Lets say you have an 80 dex genie for an 11 second expel. Sin stuns you for 5 seconds, 1 second later you hit expel. Now, does your stun wear off in 4 seconds and you experience another 7 second of immunity? Does it overwrite and become 11 seconds of expel immunity and stun?...

I know I should know this but I haven't played with expel much in the last few years.

    Expel is a seal, not a stun.

    Expel doesn't stun you, it seals you. Ironguards stun you. More importantly, stuns do not over-write each other. I'm rather surprised that you, a BM, didn't know that. What you CAN do, if you have the vit on the genie, is use Will Surge + Expel. That way you prevent the seal but keep the immunity. It also initially baffles most sins and leads to tons of hilarity.

    Or just time purify+expel right.

    Bah, I was remembering IG and expel as the same effect action. That clears it up. Thought it might be seal but then remembered getting stunned for immunity like IGs. Even when I had it I would just block expels effect with purify or trip spark anyways.

    I did know that, hence this thread asking if I can use their stun to block the expel effect which I thought was a stun.

    Yah, I knew this combo (couldn't remember if it was Will Surge of Badge of Courage) but even for PvP genies I try to have more dex/str than a weaker but more spammable vit/mag genie.

    Alright, thanks for the help guys. It was a stupid question and this can be closed =/
