<div>Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to the game and scouts in general.  When researching CAs on websites prior to choosing a class, I saw Cheap SHot being described as a stun that breaks upon mob taking damage.  This would obviously mean that you would have to turn off auto-attack almost immediately in order to be able to get a positional in.   I have assumed this is how it works for most of my 20+ levels and have rarely used it. </div><div> </div><div>However, looking at the in-game description, I dont see a reference to stun breaking upon damage.  How does this work now?  Is it 2 second stun regardless of damage delivered, ie. no reason to turn off autoattack?  Or is stun breakable?</div><div> </div><div>Once again apologize if this is a silly question, but I've been searching through posts and it seems people talk about it both ways.  Any input appreciated.</div>

<div></div>Currently the stun does <strong>not</strong> break on damage. However, the stun length does vary depending on the difficulty of the mob. On ^^ and ^^^ mobs the stun will only last a second or 2, only long enough to flank the mob and get off 1 attack. On easier mobs it will last longer allowing you a couple of back/flank attacks.

cheap shot used to break on damage, but since LU13, it doesn't.Way it works now:If a mob has no arrows or it has down arrows: Stun for 6 secondsIf a mob has any up arrows at all: Stun for 2 secondsIf a mob is a true epic: Stun does nothing<div></div>

<div></div>Thanks for the clarification.  Had not played since before the combat revamp so still somewhat clueless about some mechanics.
