Unwavering stance - working as intended?

It says cannot be stunned, now for me that means being frozen, unable to move - Silence means not able to attack etc

im going to assume this has a different meaning in PoE?

because there is a creature boss in the city of sarn outskirt map that throws a trap, when you stand on it you are stunned, unable to move - but i have unwavering stance and yet i still get stunned.

so, i would like to know if this is working as intended or a bug, or stunned has a different meaning to what i know.

Thanks
With love

that's bear trap it's not a stun done by damage , but a ability stun. Unwavering stance will not counter this.

Working as intended

Well to me, stun feels like you should be unable to perform an action, cuz that's the meaning of the term in real life, and this is pretty much how it works in the game. When you're stunned you're unable to do anything except use pots(and maybe scrolls/currency? haven't tried).
Perpetus, the boss in City of Sarn, does not stun you, he locks you in place with Bear Trap. You're unable to move but you can still perform any other kind of action you normally would. Heck, you can even get away while the trap is active if you use skills like Leap Slam, Whirling Blades and Lightning Warp.

so, its an ability stun - that i would like to be added to the tool tip, because its tricked me into thinking it works against all stun effects,

"Cannot be stunned by normal means, ability stuns still stun you" - perhaps

but a minor detail.

So i learned a new lesson today! Ability stuns are different types of stuns!

I think that the term ability stun is very misleading. There is no such thing as "ability stuns". The trap that "stuns" you doesn't stun you at all, it immobilizes you. If you've perhaps played DotA or LoL, there is a meaningful difference between the two. Stun means you can't do anything at all, immobilize means you can't move (but can still attack, cast spells, etc.).

oh right, immobilize - after now finding this out, im not even sure i want this node now.... i mean, if i can still be stuck in one spot, it kind of makes it pointless outside of cold freezing me, right? - i mean this in the terms of me being a bow build, to move around alot, if i can still be stuck in one spot getting this node....Hmm....yeah.....

Can you guys explain what else this unwavering stance is also good for? outside of cold freezing me etc

unwavering stance is good for avoiding stuns...believe it or not

You can still be frozen.

PoE has several "on hit" or "on crit" mechanics. Some of them trigger only when a certain type of damage is dealt like for example Ignite.

Stun is also an on hit mechanic, but can be caused by every type of damage.
Whether or not a target will be stunned is determined by the amount of damage dealt and the amount of max hp the target has. You need to deal a certain % of the targets max hp in a single hit to have a chance to stun. The higher your damage, the higher your chance to stun. It can even go up to 100% if you deal enough damage.

im new to the game, i clearly had a different view of what stun meant for the game - im here to learn afterall!

so, stuns, what exactly is defined as a stun in the game, can monster normal attacks have a chance to stun or something?

i mean, traps don't stun, freeze i've now just learned is not a stun < ? o_O the crap...

what exactly does this stance negate? and please don't just say stuns, i mean what am i looking out for? what can actually stun me? - is the benefits of getting this stance actually worth getting? if so, why?

It's used by melee characters since they can't afford to be stunned. Some mobs like chargers can stunlock your character which will quickly lead to death.

Read on the mechanics of stun since you seem to have many misconceptions concerning it.. The wiki explains how stun works and what it does much better than I could. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Stun
