So about Stagger?

Is this something that you have to be in group content with a healer and really high damage to effectively learn and utilize?

I swapped from WW to try out BM with Prey doing WQ and basically got no Stagger. I figured most of that stuff was avoidable so no biggie. So I decided to try a delve and occasionally got a little bit of stagger but it didn’t seem to do much or line up with the really big damage spikes hitting my health bar. So I went into a follower dungeon to clear out a quest and finally started seeing a fair amount of buildup on the bar.

If this is correct would this be the only mitigation you aren’t able to get a feel for in general gameplay outside of instances or am I just doing something really wrong somewhere?

You could get in doing world Quests if you do huge pulls. Also if you really want to test it out outside of group content you can go beat up on the raid target dummy and after a bit of time it’ll do huge stagger building for you as well.

Hmm, seems an odd design choice.

There are a couple ways you can try it out, like doing huge pulls or grabbing rares and letting them hit you. But even then it raises it by so little.

Yeah the best way is either do big pulls in delves, run dungeons, or raider dummy
