Almost all the builds with SW3 i looked up dont put a single point in restrain. Why? Restrain looks wonderfull to me. Is it really not worth it?
- Bosses can’t be stunned.
- The best stun is death. You can kill mobs pretty quickly with a decent weapon, so Restrain’s stun won’t be on for long anyways.
But what about pvp? wouldnt it be usefull?
Well, the SW3 build you’re looking at are likely PvE builds.
The recent CC nerf killed it, the slow aftereffect isn’t strong either. Also has a huge HP drawback, -10K in my build.

When comparing to the additional damage you can get from investing the points elsewhere it’s just not worth it. The CC diminishing returns makes it ineffective, the Slow Attribute is weak, the HP reduction will take 1000’s of HP off, it has a low uptime, and Bosses are unstunnable.
The points can be better spent.
I never liked restrain, not even back when people are maxing them in every build.
Stun duration is so short, and it’s not even 100% up time. On top of that, hp decreases (this was not an issue for me though, since i was low level)
Restrain is only good for atkspd AA builds for some hp management and only if you’re skimping on potions anyways.
