Stun Recovery
Stun Recovery shortens the time you are unable to act after being Stunned. It does not reduce the chance of a Light Stun, raise Stun Threshold, prevent a Stun, or make Heavy Stun buildup empty faster.0.5.4d

What Stun Recovery does
Current rulesUse Stun Recovery when the problem is how long a Stun interrupts you. Use Stun Threshold or Light Stun avoidance when the problem is how often Hits Stun you. Use modifiers that make Heavy Stun buildup empty faster when the problem is a partially filled Heavy Stun bar.
- Light Stun chance is separate from recovery
- A Light Stun is a brief interruption rolled from a single Hit. Its chance depends on the Hit's damage relative to the target's Stun Threshold. Stun Recovery changes how quickly you regain control after the Stun succeeds, not the chance that the Hit causes it.
- Heavy Stun uses buildup
- Heavy Stun is triggered by filling the target's Heavy Stun buildup to its threshold. This is a different route to a Stun than the immediate Light Stun roll. Players and their Minions normally cannot be Heavy Stunned, although actions such as raising a Shield, Parrying, or riding a mount can permit it.
- Stun Threshold changes susceptibility
- Stun Threshold is the defensive value used when determining Light Stun chance and Heavy Stun buildup. Raising it makes incoming Hits less effective at causing either result. It does not shorten a Stun that has already begun.
- Heavy Stun buildup recovery is another stat
- A modifier such as Your Heavy Stun buildup empties 50% faster clears accumulated buildup more quickly before the threshold is reached. It does not mean 50% increased Stun Recovery and does not describe the duration of the disable after Heavy Stun triggers.
- Avoidance prevents specific Stuns
- Cannot be Light Stunned stops qualifying Light Stuns under the stated condition. It is prevention rather than faster recovery and does not by itself say that Heavy Stun is prevented.
- Current sources do not publish an exact duration formula
- The current PoE2 descriptions say that increased Stun Recovery makes recovery faster, but they do not publish a base Stun duration or a numeric conversion formula for this stat. This page therefore does not use the older Path of Exile 1 duration formula or present an invented worked result.

Its Bonded Boots effect grants 50% increased Stun Recovery. The normal Boots effect instead grants 8% increased Movement Speed while Sprinting, so the recovery modifier must not be shown as the ordinary socket result.

Its Bonded Boots effect grants 200% increased Stun Recovery. It has a separate Bonded Boots effect that reduces Chill and Freeze duration.

Back in Action grants 80% increased Stun Recovery. Quick Recovery grants 40% and regenerates 5% of maximum Life over 1 second when Stunned. Chakra of Stability grants 30%, regenerates 3% of maximum Life over 1 second when Stunned, and adds 1 Stun Threshold per Dexterity. Abasement grants 20% and additional Stun Threshold equal to 30% of maximum Energy Shield.

Defender's Resolve makes your Heavy Stun buildup empty 50% faster. Resolute Reprisal gives the same rate after you have successfully Parried Recently. These clear the buildup bar and are not Stun Recovery modifiers.

Steadfast Resolve prevents Light Stun if you have been Stunned Recently. Wary Dodging prevents Light Stun if you have not been Hit Recently. These prevent Light Stun under their conditions rather than shortening its duration.

6 rules- Stun Recovery affects the recovery period after a Stun has been inflicted.
- It does not change Light Stun chance.
- It does not add Stun Threshold.
- It does not prevent Light Stun or Heavy Stun.
- It does not make Heavy Stun buildup empty faster unless the modifier says so separately.
- No exact current PoE2 duration formula is used because the cited current sources do not publish one.

Stun interrupts the target's current action and briefly prevents it from acting. Path of Exile 2 has two related systems: Light Stun is rolled from the damage of one Hit, while Heavy Stun is caused by filling a separate buildup bar.
mechanicStun ThresholdStun Threshold is the target-side reference used to determine Light Stun chance and Heavy Stun buildup. Raising your own threshold makes incoming Stuns less likely, while lowering an enemy's threshold makes that enemy easier to Stun.
mechanicLight StunnedAny Hit has a chance to Light Stun the target, interrupting their current action and preventing them from taking actions for a fraction of a second. The chance is based on the damage dealt, up to 100% base chance for Hits that deal 100% of the target's maximum Life. Chances lower than 15% are treated as 0%.
mechanicHeavy StunHeavy Stun is the longer disable caused when an enemy's Heavy Stun buildup bar fills. Eligible Hits add buildup based on their damage, and the bar begins to empty after buildup has not been applied for a period.
