Just out of curiosity, what were the classes of the other chars in the game?
I need to run more testing, but I am starting to see a strange trend with any type of elemental damage and the stun effects that a bear can do with either maul or shockwave. It seems that if the stunning hit lands at the same time as an elemental attack, the elemental attack does way more damage than it would normally, as if the damage was calculated with a negative resist or something.
It doesn't seem to happen if the monster is just stunned, but if the stunning attack and the elemental attack hit at the same time. FO and shockwave when hitting things at the same time where killing things in 1 or 2 FO hits when it normally took 4 or 5 FO's and 15+ shockwaves by themselves. It was not just the FO's hitting multiple times either. It was repeated with fireball and glacial spike spells as well. FO was used because it was easier to time the hits to be simultaneous with it. Though with what we tried maul and other spells looked to do it as well.
The tests were also not in controlled conditions, another reason I haven't posted on it before either. But I would be really curious if you were playing with someone who was using a stunning attack.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
