Unwavering Stance is a keystone passive skill. It grants stun immunity, but prevents the character from evading attacks.
It sets chance to avoid being stunned to 100% and sets evasion chance to 0%. It does not affect dodge chance. Normally, whenever a player or monster takes damage from a hit, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played. The Unwavering Stance keystone grants guaranteed stun avoidance. Evasion is the first layer of defence that increases a character’s chance to evade incoming attacks. However, if the character cannot evade attacks, which means enemies will always hit regardless of their accuracy rating or chance to hit. Is Unwavering Stance worth it? It depends on your build and gear. |
Unwavering stance doesn’t remove evasion rating it just removes your chance to evade. Iron Reflexes keystone removes all evasion rating and converts it to armour rating. It is therefore possible to utilize the effects of both keystones simultaneously.
The base duration of Blind is 4 seconds. Attacking with Resolute Technique or attacking a target which has Unwavering Stance will nullify the miss chance. Blinding a target will also reduce its effective critical strike chance by reducing its chance to succeed confirmation rolls of critical strikes. Blind is not an elemental status ailment and is not affected by the Crystal Skin notable passive skill.
Chance to hit can not be lower than 5% but can hit 100%.
Dodge is a layer of defence that grants a chance to prevent a damaging hit.
There are two types of dodge:
Dodge Attacks and Dodge Spell Damage are both capped at 75%.
