does fire dmg + knockback = stun only for missile weapon?

i wanna know if fire dmg + knockback stun only for missile attack or it can be with melee... thx for posting!

i think the "stun" effect is dependent on whether or not the damage exceeded a certain percentage of target life i think it was 1/8th but i am far from sure. it can occur with any attack ranged mele or magic or elemental. some attacks always cause it, and some duration effects will force it regardless of damage. such as smite and mindblast , that swirly ensures they go into stun or fhr animation regardless of the amount of damage applied even if its just 1 or 2.

knockback is totaly different from "stun", it well knocks em back.. and has a 50% chance to trigger in pvp.

ive heard fire dmg causes "stun" but ive never seen conclusive evidence to support it.

so if im barb and do a ww at another ww, with 13-20 fire dmg scs, ww = uninterrutible, if 1 of my hit drop 1/8 life of opponent in ww, does that will put him into fhr? even if ww = uninterruptible? and mayby give more chance to blow opponent?

It doesn't have to be Fire damage. It could be Lightning damage if you want. It doesn't matter the type of damage, as long as it's enough to put them into Hit Recovery.

It may be a myth based on the fact that Assassins use Wake of Fire and Mind Blast to keep opponents stunned. The truth is, the stunning effect is caused by the MB swirlies, with which any form of damage will put an opponent into hit recovery. It just so happens that Wake of Fire is the fastest and most reliable way of causing that any form of damage.

WW is uninterruptible, so nothing you can do will stop another Barb in his tracks when he's in the middle of a WW.
