QT only staggers past a certain damage threshold. I.e. if you get hit by a Bombard QT will likely stagger you, but a bunch of lesser damage shots from a Heavy Gunner won't. Even though the total amount of damage dealt may be the same, if each instance of damage is small enough QT won't stagger you.

By using Adaptation and armor you gain a lot of damage reduction, so even big instances of damage can be reduced down below the threshold, meaning QT won't stagger you. What value that threshold is, no one knows, but as long as you are tanky enough it really doesn't matter.
