ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Stop doesn't damage it's target, if you don't see it (or in this case radius damage doesn't work).
Only stun effect was applied.

It might be because the ant doesn't have sight of you. Most talents don't do damage if the actor doesn't have sight of the player in some cases... To prevent easy corner snipes with a scouting ahead talent. At least I think so.

Most aoe talents let you target around corners just fine. Go grab an archmage in debuf mode and test out fireflash, or the gravity talents on paradox mage. I think this effect with stop is probably an unintentional effect of how it is coded, especially as the stun can still be applied even if it does not damage
