Borresaine does not give the stun effect (-30 Deflection, -30 Reflex, -4 Perception, -4 Intellect, -4 Dexterity, Allows Rogue Sneak Attack) when you make a crical hit and hit with the effect. Instead the enemy can't take any action or move.

Borresaine does not renew it's effect if you hit with the stun effect while the enemy allready is allready stuned by the bow. If you score the stun effect while, the stun effect gets a new time, but there is no effect on the enemy for the time of the new stun.

Hello, heartkaare. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the bow not renewing the stun affliction.  I have entered a bug into our database regarding this issue.  

 

When it does hit, it is working as intended.  Stunned characters cannot take any action at all, as seen in the description of Stunned in the Cyclopedia in game.  Thanks for your support!

Thank you for the answer and response.

The text from the Cyclopedia in game is:

 

"Stunned characters can't take action. Dexterity, Perception and intellect are all reduced by 4. Reflex and Deflection are reduced by 30. Overrides Stuc and Prone."

 

Okay so borresaine gives the first part of the effect, but misses out on the reductions and does not qualify for backstap. Maybe this is the way it suposed to be, but it another effect than the stun that is refered to in the Cyclopedia.

 

Another minor thing in the text for Borresaine the word "Stun" does not link to Cyclopedia, maybe because it another stun. In game that is so well done as PoE it feel wird to have the same term for two diffrent effects. It is a lillte confusing.

 

Thanks again.

Hello again.  I see that the additional afflictions are not being noted in the character panel.  I will bring this to the attention of the appropriate team and make sure that all relevant information is added to our database.  Thanks!
