Some things of note about a gcde stun+lightpseed combo if you fight against it are:
a) You need to be aware you are fighting against the combo to start playing around it in mind. If you aren't, you'll get caught off guard the first time the combo is used and have a higher risk of losing the first round as a result.
b) When you are aware of the combo in mind, it often puts you in a situation where you have to play more defensive. Maintaining distance so that the opponent will have to move into lightpseed range, keeping at least a dash or immunity off CD, or other defensive plays depending on your build.
Just having the combo alone applies constant pressure, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of your defensive play by hitting you with other attacks until an opening comes up.
c) Having great reaction times helps out GCDE stun users as well. Most stun users generally use their stun and big hit spells in tandem, so if you avoid/go invul against the stun, you also avoid the big hit spell.
However, some players have a good enough reaction speed to withold the use of their big hit spells and only use it once they see the opponent is stunned and primed for the hit.
It's the type of build that can be hard to beat if you are not familiar enough with lightspeed to have a gauge for the range, and/or don't have the right tools to help work around it.
