Fix Focus loss please

[MéLAnoR]

Its very irritating to lose your focus when you apply a high focus requiring skill like RoT or MS when you get an interruptive effect like stun.
Even if the skill says success you end up with stun and not only the skill does not apply but also you lose your focus.
e.g : You have agroed 3 mobs and have to apply RoT to get some space and you hit Intent concentration then apply RoT but at the very sec the skill says success you get a stun from a goblin and you end up with 3 mobs not rooted and melee range on you.You also dont have much focus left to apply RoT.
This is very annoying in pvmp also when you are about to finish a creep with MS or escape from a nearby zerg with RoT you end up with almost no focus and no instant multi CC against a zerg or gank.
Dont come me with reality reasons that we should lose focus when we get a stun cause we dont lose focus when we are interrupted its skills that should intended to work and gives success message whereas they actually dont work and waste your focus.Plus this is a game not a reality show in which i can count many non-logic features that are implemented to make it fun.

Hunter is not the only class suffering from this.. When im doing an attack on my champ or warden and i get stunned before the actual damage is applied, but after the skill has been triggered.. Both classes do nothing (other then beeing stunned) while the champ did loose his favour and the warden did reset the gambit.. its crap but i think i read somewhere it wont be fixed soon..

Indeed, we depend highly on being able to create some distance.

I always carry a stack of peerless or other tripple traps around -- it's a small backup plan -- downside is the induction.

Its really annoying isnt it?
you actually plan yourself over an attack and it just doesnt work and puts you in even more danger.

Hehe yeah its pretty crappy (especially on my warden when i really need that 5gambit long hot).. not sure if there are more classes suffering from this though..

Hehe yeah its pretty crappy (especially on my warden when i really need that 5gambit long hot).. not sure if there are more classes suffering from this though..at least you dont lose the gambit when it is 3/5 right but just at that tiny moment when you hit the apply button and its interrupted?

playing a RK too, i can confirm this affects that class as well. in emergency situations we are quite dependent on our stuns

now it happens that i click the skill but get stunned by the mob faster than my skill's effect is applied. left there, unable to do anything (for a few secs), cooldown on skill.

yes, they are other means of escape/fight, there is a wide skill-range.

anyway, it's annoying

yes but it seem to happen very often and especially on gambits that start off with an animation (instead of ending with an animation)..

WE better bug report this the more the better reported :) (http://community.lotro-europe.com/bug.php)

It's annoying, but in a way it's makes perfect sense.

The shots that require Focus are, generally, precision shots that would require concentration to pull off. If you were hit so hard you were stunned, you would lose concentration.

Therefore they would probably say it's working as intended.

Personally think it makes things more interesting for Hunters, I feel pretty overpowered nowadays (Not complaining btw) and a bit of random gimping adds spice.

Its really annoying on my poor mincer though, who's struggling to scrape the skin off rice pudding since MoM/High resists have come into play. The War Speech AOEs are both instant and both affected by the same stun/lose damage issue.

It could be working as intended though, wouldnt like to assume this is a bug.
