Stun threshold on Rhoa

I've just built an Amazon, and trying to use a Rhoa, and it's seems great when it's going, but, I'm perma getting stunned off it and then getting killed 50% of the time. Reading through other threads, some people have suggested getting some stun threshold nodes, and I don't understand stun and its threshold at all. There are 3 clusters I can see availalble to me if I respec 3-4 damage points, the chakra of stability, deft recovery, the great boar. These contain % inc stun threshold, and 1 to stun threshold per dex.

Does anyone know how much % stun threshold, or 1 to stun threshold I need to stop it happening? Pob is saying I've got 1751 stun threshold currently, and I'm getting non stop stunned. If I took one of the clusters it'd take me to about 2600'ish. Or is stun on Rhoa only mitigated by evasion? -That would be a very expensive swap for me as I'm running ES/sanguis

Pro tip. The moment you fall off rhoa, hit pause and relog.

First of all, always start by posting your build from poe ninja or other similar sources.

Second of all, for an ES build the best way to usually get an easy access to stun threshold is through the stat "Gain additional Stun Threshold equal to X% of maximum Energy Shield" which is both available on the tree and more importantly as a suffix on sapphire jewels.

Lastly, if your build can spec into Chaos Innoculation there is a bug with heavy stun build up since the rhoa release in 0.2 (which is what riding the Rhoa is) where you basically become immune to it if you have both CI and a Rhoa.

Regardless of how much Stun threshold you end up getting, the default behaviour of the Rhoa mounting is that it never depletes unless you dismount, so even if you're getting more of that stat you'll eventually get stunned anyway. The stun bar is displayed on the bottom left of your screen, if you see it fill up too high, dismount, let it deplete and remount.

ou can experiment a bit and look at the stun bar when running through maps. Really depends on how much you get hit.

Don’t sleep on Perfect Essence of Ruin

If you’re running a CI build or a no-ES build (armor or EB/MoM), this perfect essence modifier may do more for your build than the hybrid modifier on your chest. 15% physical taken as chaos is an enormous reduction to physical damage when you have good chaos mitigation. For me, I am a Chayula with 90% chaos resist thanks to ATD.

Build Theory: Blackflame Incinerate Infinite DPS Autobomber

[Based off this concept of using invulnerable Unearth minions.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1nquubx/chaos_walking_simulator/) Since Blackflame turns Incinerate's Ignite into a Chaos DoT and Contagion-afflicted minions can proliferate all Chaos DoTs (not just ED), in theory the Compounding ignite stacking people are doing with Oil Grenade should work here too. This could be one of the fastest builds in the game, especially with how many instances of damage we should be getting. The new minion support from passives and gems make them faster, and they are already invulnerable with Brutus' Brain (which does not block their Contagion-touch from dealing damage). The issue will be solving single target (since we won't have Contagion'd minions during solo fights or fights with long downtime), which may be as simple as just running a Crossbow on Set 2. Class and gear options are pretty open. Lich, Oracle, PF and Varashta may be good immediate picks. If someone tests this before I get the chance, I'd like to know how it goes.

I have a [new character creation] problem

That about sums it up. So far I have made: oracle (ice wolf, plant, reap, choir, coc comet), shaman (bear), varashta (djinn/minion, plant, whirling assault), stormweaver (infusion), blood mage (coc comet, blood spear), pathfinder (poison, ice lance), titan (whirling assault, ember fusillade), smith of kitava (whirling assault), mercenary (crossbow) Fully admitting I have a problem. With that embraced, any ideas on what to go for next?
