When I was playing the Alfa, I focused on items with magic armour and rarely was stun locked. In this case I think it is enough to keep some scrolls for emergency and you don't need to adjust your build.

It would be an interesting solution to this specific problem if strength and telekinesis (the latter does not seem useful enough at the moment) allowed moving characters for a short distance - both friendly and rival ones (with an attack of opportunity provoked). Moving with strength should require having at least one free hand; this would also be a small bonus to one weapon style. It could be a "common action" like lock-pick on the skill panel or just require dragging with a mouse, just like you interact with any other object.
