Help Avoiding perma stun as barb?

full dex kiting genie

You can predict a stun early on and use fortify on a genie to counter the stun. That, as well as using things like AD on a genie, or your anti-stun skill as well.

Roll demon and use Demon Roar,
sins will no longer be a problem

Get Faith on Genie, if you got a high lvl genie with good genie gear equipped.

So the title kinda says it all but heres why i ask. just did nw and every now and then a sin would stun me out of stealth and then kept me stunned untill i died about 20 seconds after. now i was spamming pots, genie skills, anti stun buff even tried sparking but because i was stunned none of it really worked. So yeah, basically does anyone have any tips to, i guess, "get out" of being stun locked untill im dead. Thanks in advance guys


Get Solid Shield on ure genie..its Like Invoke.

Usually when sins get a hold of me with their stuns I either go for AD if they are r9rr+12, or solid shield if I can tank it. I would default to solid shield all the time but I'm uncharmed 99% of the time, so if I can avoid losing HP then I will.

During any part of a fight and I can't use Violent Triumph for one reason or another, I always have Vacuity pots on hand. I found that these pots are very, very helpful for me and since I had started to use them I found that being stun locked was almost a non-issue.

One mistake sins sometimes make is they'll seal without immobilizing... So if you're sealed just automatically get in the habit of moving away from them by just a bit. If you were lucky and they made that mistake, then while running away you can throw on a pot or line yourself up for an attack. If they did not make that mistake and did both seal/immobil.... Then holding down a movement key isn't a big deal because you wouldn't be able to fight back anyway.

If you know a sin is stealthed nearby, do a lot of running and jumping in tiger form. Remember you have 10k extra P.def in tiger form.

Lastly is that the best defense is a good offense; spamming Flesh Ream and Mighty Swing will benefit you immensely. And don't forget to use Bestial Rage for extra chi. Make sure to use Bestial Onslaught if you want to chain other skills on the sin, like Devour/Penetrate Armor/Slam/Armageddon/Alacrity. If not, stick to 100% accurate skills.. As in, the moment it goes off CD you hit that button again.


One other thing, you may think that if a sin sees you use anti-stun that they will stop wasting their stun skills...... You will be wrong more often that you think, sins are in the habit of using those skills so it would force them out of their muscle memory.
