Diablo – Does Paralysis stack with Wyrdward

diablo-3diablo-3-wizard

I'm just curious if the Paralysis passive (for Wizard), which gives a 15% chance for lightning damage to stun the enemy for 1.5 seconds, stacks with the ring Wyrdward's special, which does the same, 13-17% chance for Lightning damage to stun the enemy for 1.5 seconds.

There's a very helpful collection about this and other item effects on the official forum.It says:

Stacks multiplicatively with Paralysis, appears to be affected by proc scalar. The game rolls for a proc from Paralysis first. If Paralysis is not triggered, it then looks for stun chance on equipment from things like Wyrdward. Does not interact with Lightning Hydra or similar 0 scalar skills that Paralysis does work with. As far as I can tell the only difference between Wyrdward and the blue-text stun chance that can appear as a random roll on certain items is that Wyrdward's stun chance is considerably higher but only works with lightning damage.
