  1. Just a tid bit of info for the person that made the huge deal over someone saying elect blasters powers sometimes cause targets to shake, and seem stuned. I've tried it, and if you read the descroptions of each power in the creation phase, you'll notice I believe its says lightning blast, can cause the foes to be stuned, shaking and disoriented from the blast which can last up till the for takes more dmg.

    I've witnessed this when a Emp/Elec defender hit a foe with that power, you see a faint static discharge around the foes body, and he stands there shaking violently for a few momments, roughly 2-3 seconds as it was during the first we were engauged in. This happen several times from just a defender's blasts, so imagin a true powered Elec blaster using it, with hasten, means almost unlimited shock stuned foe, when you fire off the same power over and over. Now then, in my own trials with a elec blaster, as was my first choice before I desided I thought Fire best fit my characters background and story line. I noticed this stun effect very rarely in the early levels. Maybe 1 in 4-5 foes would get shock stuned. However, this amount went up marginally as he leveled, and by time he was 10th, the blast would most times shock stun them after 2-3 hits from that same power. Means it ramps up in power and effectiveness with levels, and like alot of powers, has its secondary effect percentage increased with levels as well.

    Now, you can say, your 5 min servey of the power is absolute, and that you know better then anyone else, but you can't disallow another persons insite on the point cause they are testing it via higher levels and different enhancements. In fact I tend to believe the effect triggers more with more ACC you have, cause my bud is a Elec/Dev blaster, and uses targeting drone 100% of the time. This doesn't mean all elec powers can stun or shock stun as it were, but some can and will. THough some are rigidly made just for it and others use it as a secondary minor effect for mostly visual reasons, but also to a degree, for tactical use when and if it does happen, you can watch for it and know when to leap in with other powers to knock them out faster.

    Now then, I don't know if its possible to constantly stun, guess it could be, but in effect it is possible to stun with some Elec powers, 3 that I know of for sure, one is lightning blast the second power in the set, and it even says it will do it in the description given in the power selection screen.
