No, you can't...at least not when it works the way it's supposed to. ST
lasts 18 seconds and is broken by *any* damage...melee or otherwise
(including DOT) However...the way things are right now you occasionally get
a good 30-40 second stun on the creature and it will sit there taking
everything you can dish out. GZ stated in a news post that they would fix
this ASAP. I've also run into this scenario..2 mobs, one ST'd the other
being taken down by party/pet. Once that first mob is dead your pet will
turn on the 2nd one if it hit you, or the pet at any time..just a heads up
:)
