How do you interrupt?

[Well]

So, I couldn't help but notice that there were a plentiful of talents which were reading "Gain X when you interrupt an enemy".

How do you interrupt? I don't get it.

By dazing or stunning an opponent when he/she is about to use an ability.

I believe the definition of a "interrupt" is very broad in GW2. An interrupt is anything that disrupts the player's action: Stunning, dazing, knockback, ect.

[Well]

Silly me, was too stuck with WoW, and was expecting "interrupts your enemy's spellcast" abilities, rofl. Could someone list what each condition does btw? I am kind of confused.

You can also interupt yourself by Dodging. Doing so in the middle of a cast will stop the cast and invoke a short recharge time on that ability.

An interrupt, in a general sense, is any action that prevents a foe from completing its current action.

• Daze
• Fear
• Knock down
• Knock back
• Launch
• Stun
• Pull

I really did enjoy using Overcharged Shot on my Engineers rifle to prevent mobs from getting off their big abilities, but it didn't occur to me until now how big of a deal that personally is, being that I despised PVE interrupt duty as a Rogue in Wow.

To be fair, putting a Rogue on interrupt duty affects their DPS. Only Enhancement Shaman should ever be put on interrupt duty!

Frost DK and warrior as well, silly.

Resource cost, noty.

I haven't raided on either toon, but I'm pretty sure based on the simulations I've seen that both classes will hit resource-dead moments where they can't DPS or interrupt.

Which is why I specifically said 'frost DK', and not just DK. The main DW cookie cutter build on EJ uses mind freeze (last I checked, which was early 4.3), which makes your interrupts free. Warriors also have talents to both remove the interrupt cost and increase damage after interrupting, but I'm unsure how they fit into the warrior specs.

Anyways, how about that GW2. The next necro build I'll be using includes a daze, so.. I'll totally have an interrupt and stuff..

On my Death Knight and Rogue I always try to spec into the talent that makes interrupts free of resource cost. But now I'm just driving this thread further off topic.

Ret Paladin.

Altough i havent really seen such a hard-interupt fight as RoS in BT. And back then Enh. Shamans were only usefull for their Windfury Totem, so you wouldnt really stack them. Which left Rogues as the Interupt bitches.

Actually, Enhance Shaman were able to interrupt with Earth Shock back then, which while still annoying to use, was still more reliable than a Rogue interrupt!

Also, Enhance DPS was on par with Rogues back in Hyjal/BT. And that's only when the Rogue had a Windfury Totem in their group.
