What is wrong with this resistance ?

So except wearable items like armour, weapons, rings, amulets, relics and medals…which are very few and ruin builds…there are only these that offer some minor Stun resistance :

Leathery Hide - Component - for helm there are others way better for ulti diff that cannot compare to this
(Used in head armor)
+5% Health
+24 Armor
25% Reduced Stun Duration
Required Player Level: 24
Item Level: 30
Faction: Homestead
Blueprint: Leathery Hide

So…what is wrong here ? Why so few ? Why so little bonuses…and why nothing that can actually compete with others on ulti diff ?

Because unlike other resistances it doesn’t go down to -50% in ultimate. Now this I’d love to see, someone with -50% stun resistance doing AoM.

3

That I didn’t know - seems reasonable, but still, overall, very few choices of stun resist and all not competitive…at least 1 lvl 90 augment with 25% reduced stun duration, available for anyone, no matter what faction they have friendly or enemy !

Green armor is your friend.

-Leathery Hide gives 25%, it’s a component that goes on your head.

-It’s pretty barren through devotions but there’s an easily accessible amount on the first node of Empty Throne that gives 15%.

Just from the above, any build should be able to achieve 40% easily.

-Soldier and Arcanists can get a free chunk from Scars of Battle and Conversion respectively.

-% Reduced Stun Duration can be crafted from the new Stoneplate Waistguard belt and comes with 25% immediately, though most builds prize the belt slot, there are some where they’re missing a good option (like Poison builds).

-Galakros Dread Plating also comes with a chunk as it’s base as well for Aether/Elemental builds.

-Finally, there’s suffixes on rares like of Kings or of the Flesh Hulk.

Maybe I’m missing other sources but there’s a good amount of options and I don’t think stun resistance is something they want to make as plentiful as the other resistance types evident by how it’s usually paired with the other crowd control resistances and as mentioned above how it suffers no penalty in Elite or Ultimate.

There is a 25% helm component, and some augments with 10%. There is a recipe for boots and/or belts that have 25% resists on them +other stats.

7

Well, many of them are competitive.
Leathery hide. 25% stun res, 5% HP - why not?
Throne devotion 1 point. 15%
Stormtitan Threads - massive HP boost and ~25% stun res.
Soldier/Arcanist masteries have stun resist too.
Green items with “thunderstruck” rare prefix offer nice stats, and stun resistance.

Most of Barrowholm faction gear has stun resist including the craftable belts
