It's just wasting healing surges. I'll either take another action, or hold my action.Monsters like to focus fire, as much as the PC's. And there is little reason why they shouldn't. That's pretty much why you want a defender and a controller in your group.I'm generally a proponent of playing monsters with a goal in mind, depending on the encounter. This may sometimes mean keeping multiple PC's dazed, slowed, immobilized, and prone, sometimes it means keeping a front line busy while a group of monsters try to slink to the back, sometimes monsters are focusing fire on a PC to punch through a defensive PC line, and sometimes all they want to do is eat some brains.I've removed stun as written from my game, so a player not getting to do anything is rarely a problem. In other people's games when I get stunned, I just don't sweat it, whatever happens happens, I can't do anything about it. I just have to trust the DM knows what they are doing as I get wailed on without the ability to retaliate.</blockquote>
