ComputerSaidNo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm just looking to know for certain which abilities do we have that will interrupt a cast? The only one I know for sure is mind snap and the rest is just a guessing game for me so if someone could share this info it would be much appreciated!

Innercalm Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Force Stun, Force Lift (If Balance Spec), Force Wave (if the target is close enough). Those are the big 4 I use (including Mind Snap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralFire Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Mind Snap is your only true interrupt. The following abilities stun, move or daze any enemy not immune to stuns (enemy player with a white bar, or a boss) and thus can be used to interrupt a cast: - Force Pull - Force Wave (has a half-second windup time) - Spinning Kick - Low Slash - Force Stun - Force Lift (2s cast time if not Balance) The following abilities stun, move or daze normal or weak computer-controlled enemies, and thus can be used to interrupt casts; these abilities will not have this effect on tougher enemies or enemy players: - Project (Has a brief windup time) Edited February 2, 2012 by AstralFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSaidNo Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys, this is what i was looking for! When you say "true interrupt" what would be the difference from lets say mind snap and low slash in terms of interrupting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai-Eurah-Tird Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 mind snap is the true interupt, because it locks out the ability for 4 seconds. low slash interupts because it incapacitates your target, thus preventing them from casting.

richardya Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) In pvp if your opponent has a full resolve Mind Snap will still work to interrupt. All of the other ones do not, I think, low slash may still work I need to check. The knockbacks and stuns have no effect on full resolve opponents.

AstralFire Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Low Slash causes and is affected by Resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSaidNo Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Please correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm understanding is that even if the opponents resolve bar is full, mind snap will still work. But all of the other ones that were listed won't? And they will only work if the resolve bar isn't full. Is this because it isn't the ability, low slash for example, that causes the interrupt, but the effect the ability has (incapacitate, for low slash) and if the resolve bar is full, that means no incapacitate, which in turn means to interrupt? I hope that makes sense and I'm not confusing myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralFire Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I did not understand what you just asked. Basically, the attack hits but the secondary effect that causes the opponent to lose control of their character fails. This is not true for Mind Snap as it is not affected by Resolve and does not cause Resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklines Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) You are correct, since you cannot stun or incapacitate a full resolve target, you cannot use low slash or its ilk to interrupt casts. Only Mind Snap can be used to interrupt a full resolve target. What I am unsure of is whether you can force pull someone with a full resolve bar. Does anyone know for sure?

Anything that adds to the resolve bar will not work against a white bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
