PVP - Plasma Probe No Longer Stops Caps

Returning player after six years away. I noticed it didn't stop a cap on Hypergate and someone mentioned it. Just confirming that this is true now.

 

Any ground-targeting based AoE that can be placed freely without a player or npc target will NOT interrupt caps, like Plasma Probe but also Lightning Storm/Forcequake, Death from Above, Orbital Strike, Sweeping Blasters, etc.

 

I can't recall if melee AoEs, like for Shadows/Assassins and Knights/Warriors, which also do not require a target, will interrupt or not, but I think as they are not ticking damage they will. I'm pretty sure my guardian melee aoes like Force Sweep and Cyclone Slash interrupted caps as recently as two weeks ago in Novare Coast.

 

Other abilities that require a target but have an AoE effect will also interrupt caps ... think Thermal detonator from operatives or sticky grenades from Commandos as examples.
