    A quick note that I forgot to mention; Each time a boss gets staggered, the stagger they take is reduced. At first, they take 100% stagger, after the first stagger they take 80% of the original stagger, after the second they take 60% of the original stagger and finally from then on it is always 10% of the original stagger.

    Thanks mate. Your work is highly appreciated by community.

    Oh my goodness! How could I have possibly missed such an incredible event? Ava started filling the channel with content. It's like Christmas and a birthday on the same day! Ava, you are an absolute legend. Your contribution to the rogue community is unrivaled. Keep up the amazing work and don't look back, your work is priceless!

    hey Ava, thanks for the in depth content. Loving all these math even though my brain takes a while to process them all. I just want you to know you are a much appreciated content creator for D4. I hope in the future we can have tools like Path of Building, it'll make your job and our game so much easier to min-max a character.
  • I recently made a poison trapper build, to stack as much poison (2 million per trap) and poison duration as possible. Using stealth and laying four traps at once. On the third lot of 4 I have noticed stagger occurs. I have stacked close to 200% duration on poison triggered from traps, there doesn't seem to be a cap on duration. I want really long duration so I can spam traps on top of each other. My build is only half optimized hoping to double the poison output and duration when I have finished masterworking. I have tested on dummies and helltides Boss and everytime I add third set it staggers every time. I am also using stun grenades via going into and coming out of stealth and evades. This is a seriously fun build. Got serious movement speed and dodge so I lay traps as a square overlapping in centre. Then proceed to get surrounding monsters agro and run them through the poison. Watching them melt before they leave the poison pool is so much fun.

    ITS A AMAZING WORK!🎉🎉I really hope than D4 could fix that bug so we finally can digging some cool build to play.😢
  • @TheJosquire
    Thanks for the explanation. With Tempering, if i apply LHC to stun on one armour piece, and LHC to freeze on another piece, is the overall stagger time less because they are in the same CC bucket? Or is LHC different because each LHC is calculated separately?
  • @LiansEltrut
    Thank you. This is very helpful. Is there a way to slow down the depletion of the stagger bar once it turns blue? Also, it seems some bosses recover from stagger faster than others, i.e. their stagger bar when blue goes down very quick.
  • @VienHoang-fm3kw
    Also Ava, I can stagger pit 130 bosses about 3 times before they become incredibly difficult to stagger just like your comment below. What would be a tip to help combat this and push it a little further? I'm a HS Rogue, with LH stun/immobile/slow on affixes, concussive strikes aspect and smoke grenade are my main sources of stagger.
  • @spencercurtis86
    Bro deserves a trophy. I love nerd math. Question do all lhc tempers share the spam protection? Like lhc stun lhc freeze? If that question didn't make sense, is it better to mix your lhc crowd control tempers.
  • @qutiephoebe2154
    Hi great vid. Im using a rogue heartseeker. I have Lucky hit 2x freeze, Daze and stun in my armors. Is that ok? Whats your recommended setup? Thanks
