Been searching around for this answer. The first part- 20% increase to CC, sure I love chill and freeze lasting longer. But the second part? I have no idea when/how often monsters become unstoppable. I got a great roll on the item (50% damage to unstoppable) but have no idea how much it’ll actually come in to play.
Thanks!
Unstoppable is when monsters get that broken chain symbol above their heads. There’s one specific dungeon affix where monsters get Unstoppable when they’re below 30% health. Elites also gain Unstoppable when they get hit with back to back CC like freeze and stun.
One thing I’m not sure about is Bosses. I know they’re immune to CC when not staggered, but I don’t know if that counts as them being Unstoppable.
it’s also a good PvP aspect
Extremely worth it. It is one of the few ways to squeeze some extra DPS out of the boots slot.
Bosses are not treated as Unstoppable. Its a temporary buff, with visual clue of broken chain above the monster. If you dont see one, its not Unstoppable.
I’m testing a Retribution/Shared Misery combo on gloves+boots and I kind of like it so far.
Shared Misery has a 30-50% chance to spread CC. Retribution gives 20-40% more damage to stunned enemies (also some single digit % to stun distant enemies on being attacked which is trash).
Pretty good for general mob group clears. Teleport in with Raiment, pack gets stunned, since teleport has a pretty high lucky hit chance some stragglers get stunned pretty consistently, too. Frost Nova then watch the fireworks.
Not particularly useful against bosses (Edgemaster with 10-20% damage depending on resource left would be more consistent overall) but they’re a pushover anyway.
If you’re running a true ice shard build it’s worth a try. Might even be good for the CC spread/blizzard hybrids that focus on lucky hit.
Not using shared misery but yes to the rest as an ice/shock sorc using arc lash. The current build i just shifted towards uses no mana so the 20% boost is constant.
All are cooldown abilities on my bar except arc lash, it keeps me shielded constantly (with barrier dmg bonus 25%) and with shock skills constant stuns+ice constant vuln and freeze i dont need shared CC.
