Old Daka's Stun doesn't proc on finishing blow

Eris_Discordant

Old Daka's Insightful Blow has a 40% chance to Stun a secondary target. [First target is 45%, second random target is 40%.]

But on finishing blows, this Stun never ever procs.

Out of 100 finishing moves, we should be seeing it (either Stun or a "Resisted" notification) roughly 40 times. Observed value is close to zero.

My guess is a problem with how negative effects are applied and that this step is skipped when the target is dead.

Apply Negative Effects To A Single Target Algorithm:
--Is target dead?
----If yes, exit negative effects algorithm
\\Applying effects to dead targets would be a stupid waste of CPU resources.
--Apply negative effects.

Just a theory. Regardless of the cause, please fix it.

I thought this was a bug! Glad to see someone else had observed it. I've resorted to not using Daka for finishing blows for quite some time now.

Unless it's recent change, my Daka has stunned on killing blow in the past. Don't remember when I seen it last time, but thought it was cool. Hopefully it isn't broken.

I think I've seen it. Rare though.

I have seen it but it is rare.

I had a finishing blow with Daka in GW today and I did see a resist message on a secondary target.
