Stagger

Stagger is a passive level 10 Brewmaster ability that causes a portion of incoming physical damage to be dealt over 10 seconds rather than instantly.

Example
A monk has 600k health and has 20% (Stance) + 20% (Shuffle) + 10% (Mastery) = 50% Stagger. They gets hit for 500k physical damage. With 50% stagger, the monk takes 500k * .5 (50%) = 250k, and the other 250k is applied as a dot that will tick for 250k / 10 = 25k per sec for 10 sec. One tick went through, but they manage to use Purifying Brew before the second tick to remove the rest of the staggered damage. Thus the total damage taken is 250k (initial hit) + 25k (first stagger tick) = 275k.

500k - 275k = 225k damage not taken.
