Crowd Control (CC) and Skill Affects

Stun – Prevent movement and skill casting until the effect ends or is cleansed by a healer. Interrupts skill cast of the affected player. Stunning a target just before they get unstunned is a great way to lock down a player and do lots of damage to them easily.

Knockdowns cancel stuns. So when you and your other DPS use all your stuns, use a KD at the end of the stun combo to maximize the amount of time your target can’t move. This is one of the basics of PvP.

An example of this is: Warrior + Lancer combo = Chained Leash -> deal damage until stun reaches ~1 second -> Shield Bash -> deal damage -> Cascade of Stuns -> deal more damage -> Scythe + Wallop
