1 year ago Noting that the magic accuracy on stun does seem to be lower than it should be. Saw a number of stun resists on Tiamat from BLMs with capped dark skill, either nq or hq staff, and + dark skill gear. On retail in era, a NIN/DRK could reliably land a stun on Seiryu (although noted to be shorter duration). Found this on eden's github since it was also bugged there for some time: https://github.com/EdenServer/community/issues/2075.
https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/79130-NIN-RDM-vs-NIN-DRK In the similar bug report linked above, they mention that on bg forums, nin/drk was discussed to frequently be able to land stun, and a nin/drk would have very minimal dark skill compared to a capped blm in drk skill gear.
The description for stun on the wiki states: "The Stun effect itself is extremely accurate, even at low levels of Dark Magic Skill. Targets that are highly magic evasive or have Lightning elemental resistance may resist this spell's effects."
A 2007 bg post about toau kings mentions that stun was more difficult for nin/drk to land on khim/cerb (landing about 50% of the time but no resists for blm and rdm/drks). https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/44468 They also mention here that nin/drk stuns are much shorter duration but do land a bit.
Considering well into ToAU nin/drks were still landing stuns with minimal +dark skill, I am assuming that stun magic accuracy is too low right now on Horizon, as geared BLMs are being met with resists when they really shouldn't be.
Seen stun resist in an XP party multiple times which should be close to impossible.
