Those two stats are incredible hard [filtered] stuff.
Has nothing to do with skills but more to annoy someone.
1.6 sec stun duration removing is a damn lot and certain combos arent working anymore when reaching lvl 56 (when u get the ear rings)
I had a lot more fun pvping when this stat didnt exist before lvl 56.
Then we got another op stat. The so called damage reflection (30 damn %)
The one is just a combo breaker for everything and the other one is for commiting suicide if u face someone who knows how to kite and heal
Slayer still has super mobility damage and biggest knockdown chances.
I am a warrior and i pretty much need my target to stand so all my skills (which are multiple attack) need to hit to do dmg.
This is same with the lancer he aint be able to do dmg if the target moves around
If every Warrior/Slayer could just stunlock a ranged class from 100-0 any time they actually managed to catch up, the game would be broken. Even with the skills each of the classes has to get away currently, they still have problems. So I see no problem with those earrings. It's the same in every MMO - no one likes getting stunlocked, it's a skill-less way to fight. It's OP and offers no chance of the other player to fight back. Find another way to kill your target. As for the Lancer, his job is not to kill people. The Lancer is great at what they're designed to do. So are Warrior's/Slayers for that matter.

Slayers already got their high dmg output and high knockdown rate. Their stuns works well combined with overhandstrike/anything else. For the warrior there aint anything that fits perfectly if the target has the rings. You use a skill that wont hit 100% and youre vulnerable at that time.
What do u mean about the Lancer? I thought this game is based mostly on pvp, so every class can do something. Imagine them without stun, they would be like a zerker

Warrior's and Lancers are better at harassing people and keeping the clothies in check. They're not suppose to 1v1 kill people like the dps are. They should be helping focus people when they can, but they can be a real pain if you send them after your Healer/Sorc. They don't need to kill the guy - a stun/knockdown here and there is annoying enough as it is and then after that you're forcing the Sorc/Healer to just kite you around all day, effectively taking them out of the fight until a groupmate comes to help them out. Or you could also do the opposite and try to protect/peel for your clothies, harassing anyone that tries to come near them - and either tearing up the guy who wants to be stubborn and really try to take them out or he goes away and your clothies are free to do their thing. Either way, they are both very essential classes to a group fight - they can get in more than enough stuns to do their job properly, they don't really need to be doing stunlocks to be effective.
Hell, the other day I had a Warrior catch me off guard in a group fight and managed to stun me long enough to get his nearby teammate (who I think actually was also a Warrior lol, fml) to come help him out and the two of them kept me stunlocked to death. I wasn't able to get my shield up or Fiery Escape/Backstep to get away, and my teammates were too far away and busy fighting other people to come help. The timing was perfect on their part and they had good coordination. If it was 1v1 I probably would have gotten away from just one Warrior, but proper teamwork meant he was able to keep me busy long enough to get his team to help. Game working as intended IMO. I messed up and proper skill and teamwork took me down pretty darn fast.
Slayers are slightly OP though, so I'm not even going there. They can do anything they want.
I think the design intentions for the warriors as middle dps with stuns gets nerfed down a lot with the earrings. Backstab stuns is reduced to 1 second or so, for example. Yes you now have to work a lot more to kill your opponent. You work a lot more and will have more chances to fail , while other classes don't really get affected as much,because they either have other CCs or enough DPS to make up for the utility of stuns. A warrior cannot really beat a healer with 30% reflect and stun earrings, it takes a ton of skill and luck to beat an ok - very skilled healer.
