Game Mechanics: Stun from behind code seems to be on green

That's not supposed to be in vanilla is it?

Pretty sure stunning blows from behind were classic from the very beginning.

I thought it was added around the same time as the DoT nerfs on running/kited mobs. Since they were trying to nerf kiting. Maybe not though.

Moving to resolved. Repost in bugs if you find concrete data/citations.

Just to perhaps close the books on this, since Dolalin uncovered beta and early launch patch notes it's given a bunch of insight into evolution of game mechanics. They've been added to the wiki with links to the source material.

This is a patch note from January 1999 beta that strongly indicates flee stuns were in since launch:
