Quote:Do Cloak of Shadows and the stun from Mindblast work on superuniques/act-bosses
Uniques can be stunned by mind blast(at a greatly reduced rate, IIRC 15% of the time), and they will take knockback, but will never convert. Some monsters are immune to knockback(ancients for example, though they *can* be stunned). In general, only a very high lvl of mindblast, with constant spamming can keep a unique stunned. Act bosses will only take the damage from mindblast.
CoS will reduce a unique's defense, but will not blind them like normal monsters. I don't recall if act bosses are effected, but the best you could hope for is simply the defense reduction. They will obviously not be blinded. Next time you fight an act boss, use CoS; if they get the animation over their heads, then the defense reduction is most likely working.
