If any lvl40+ assasin backstabs anyone then they deserve to die.... PA and CD is way more effective as this 2 move combo does high damage, bleeding and stun... combine this with a nice dot and a nice debuff ie 100str/con debuff and then u might have got owned.

novamir/zarko, is that stun any good? lvl 2x stun usually is only 4sec or so I believe?
zerkers got a rather good stun style, 6 sec i belive, evade reactionary 2nd step stuns.. Im looking forward to use aurora borealis, lvl 50 Laxe parry-reactionary style, better bonus dmg than doublefrost, and snare + v.heavy attack speed debuff, in next patch where parry should be fixed!?.. gogo^^

My level 15 thrust stun is 6 secs and comes straight off a block, most medium stuns are 5 or 6 secs.

Shame minstrels dont block much, and we got our own stun. So many nice thrust styles wasted
That block stytle was pretty useful in pvm though, saved using power for insta-stun, also all the evade styles are great, but i still havent put them too good use in rvr yet.

Roll-on respec and dragonfang

hmm how about remove our shields, give us evade 3 and two hand weapon spec.

Minstrels get their biggest nerf next patch when resists effect stun/mezz duration... means that if someone hits u, the stun is not long enuf to get a mezz in. Its already too short if a tank is hitting you and has determination 2 or higher (just ask Sub) soon it will just become a waste of endurance and power.

oh yer forgot too add the stun would prolly be long enuf if it wasn't for this lovely bug:
You cast stunning below
you play mezz
you are interupted by the player you just stunned.
Stun wears out
you play mezz
you are interupted by a immune to stun player who is now whacking you

The other day i met sub in sauvage, saw him running at me so i stunned, it literally lasted one second, i barely had time to get my flute out let alone play mezz, even Sub admitted it was a lot shorter than it should have been.
Earlier that same day i stunned a mob, couldn't believe how long it just stood there, i had time to mezz it twice, easily.
