A Stun is an effect that temporarily immobilizes a player or an opponent.
Control Effect Stuns[]
Control Effect Stuns are caused by specific active powers, trinkets and consumables.
Control Effect Stuns can be normally Broken Out of unlike Counter Stuns.
Powers that cause additional damage to helpless opponents include opponents affected by Control Effect Stuns.
Opponents in most Level 30 group PVE content have a Dominance requirement that must be met in order to be affected by most Control Effect Stuns.
There are a few active powers that do not require a Dominance check to inflict a Control Effect Stun.
Specific Gadgets, Light, Mental and Quantum powers only cause a Control Effect Stun in Controller Role.
Tanks have group Control Immunity powers that prevent Control Effect Stuns for 3 seconds.
