Best Ascendancy for Stun
TitanWarrior · 3 nodesTitan (Warrior) has the most ascendancy nodes about stun: 3, among them Crushing Impacts, Stun Buildup and Stun Buildup. Next: Martial Artist (1), Oracle (1) and Pathfinder (1). 5 of 22 ascendancies have at least one such node. Counted: nodes about stun and daze. Patch 0.5.5, from the game files.
A count is not a damage number: one notable can matter more than four small passives, so each row lists the nodes it counts. Pick the ascendancy, then read them. Abyssal Lich is left out: its nodes are in the files but not on this patch's passive tree.

The bells are themselves always Primed for Stun, they can be Culled, and Hits against them are always Critical Hits.

Grants skill Moment of VulnerabilitySend out a temporal Nova to take advantage of enemies' moment of vulnerability. Hitting enemies that are Primed for Stun, Electrocution, or Freeze causes a visage of them to appear, lasting as long as the original target would have been affected by the form of Immobilisation used to create the visage. A portion of the damage dealt to visages is also dealt to the original.

- Devotion to the King
Grants skill Queen's ProcessionWhile active, Sprinting turns you into a locust swarm which deals Physical Attack damage, which is not based on your Weapon's damage, in an area around you. You take damage and gain Heavy Stun buildup if this Hits any targets, but damage you take from other sources while sprinting will not apply Heavy Stun or interrupt your sprinting.
