Tried out the monk. While running maps I keep running into an issue with being interrupted mid attack. Does anyone know what this is? Is it stun, daze, knock back? I don't know what it is specifically. How do I combat this?

Are you able to do any actions after interruption?
Does it just cancel ur attacks/movements or does it actually make you unable to move?

It's a brief interruption so I don't think it's a full stun. It's like I go to smack something, they hit me and my head goes flying back, then I can hit again. Sometimes I get combos on me and I sit there flailing.

Are you using the 'Always attack without moving' option under your gem info?

Nah. Does that affect being stunned or slapped around? I figured that might mess with the monks ability to quick lunge at enemies.

It helps with stutter stepping/attacking I found. I hated melee until I found that option.
