'nother noob question (part 2, instas)

[Shaitan]

Okay, so most classes have instas.. but which actually disrupt spellcasting please? Do any of the alb casters have insta interrupts or is that exclusive to other realms? I have heard that hib insta debuffs interrupt but this is a bug (is that true- whens it due to be fixed?) someone explain to me please

Me and Fing did an experiment about hib debuffs interrupting recently, but I can't remember what the outcome was.

So I'm no help

Im quite sure I read in a grab-bag that debuff instants do not interrupt, but the taunt ones do.

Of cause thats only as reliable as any other bit of grab-bag infomation.

Chanter's melee speed debuff interrupt casted spells (single of course), this is currently a bug and will be changed in NF. Personaly dont think it's fair with caster's have interrupt options. gogo nf

my sorcs instas: single target dex, single target str, ae dex/qui and ae str/con do NOT interrupts and have not done so for a long time, if ever. Afaik no alb casters have insta interrupts, unless your a wizzy with VP but that doesnt really count. Pally/friar taunt DOES interrupt, hib chanter dps debuff DOES interrupt and most other instas dont, unless they do dmg.

Basicl a good guide is: if they do dmg they interrupt. Exceptions are taunt spells and bugged spells.

Reavers also have 8 insta interupts, 2 are ranged the other 6 are like pbaoe's so u gotta be close, 4 of the intsta ones are debuffs and don't brake mezz, the other 2 and dd's and do brake mezz.

erm where are the 8 insta's? I can see DOT, Siphon ability (both ranged) and 1 of the pulses. That is 3? unless I am just way off base here.

I suppose you can count the aoe dmg from styles, but i just dont know which you mean when u say 8.

minser is king of interrupts

 

[superrabbit]

well, as a cler , there r some good way to interapt: instant pbae dd / instant pbae mezz, very helpful also can use some artifact charges to interapt(staff of god, silver horn, etc), most of them r instant cast also.

 

[Ocalinn]

2x dd pbae auras, DoT 1500 range, insta lifetap 700 range, 2x dps pbae auras and 2x abs pbae auras afaik

 

[Prothoe]

Afaik no alb casters have insta interrupts

Theurgs got insta combat speed debuff, fairly sure it interupts

 

[Irakaz]

2x dd pbae auras, DoT 1500 range, insta lifetap 700 range, 2x dps pbae auras and 2x abs pbae auras afaik

ah ok thanks i see the 8 now

When sum1 says insta as in interupting i think a 1 click on a button interupt, so i for a reaver i count DOT, DD lifetap and setting off 1 of the pulses i.e 3 as in earlier post.

Reason im askin is that i have an up and comin reaver and i want to use it to the best of its abilities when he gets to 50 so im interested in interupts for a caster-killer reaver or sumthing like that anyway.

One more question, why are the three pbaoe's conted twice? Does it mean cast 1 then cast another after it cos i thought u had to wait for 4 secs at least before casting another pbaoe. Be patient wit me i am still a noob at most things DAOC

any spell resisted will interupt, so if you wanna use your insta debuffs for interupt, i suggest using low lvl (the first you get of it) as i recall they get resisted alot more than highest ;p

but as said already, if it does dmg it interupts, taunt interupts, debuffs does not interupt unless resisted and some other various things ;p

It was a while since I played a caster, but I am pretty sure this is not the case. Amnesia does interrupt if it is resisted (i.e. grey ST amnesia on bards), but this is not true for general debuffs.

 

[Azathrim]

All insta debuffs doesn't interrupt. Just about anything else does.

So you are saying the chanter attack speed debuff doesnt interrupt, while im sure ive read in various places it does..

Reaver aura's are being placed on same timers upcoming patch, caused a problem with ALL aura's being on same, inc dd/dot, but now it only affects the aura's, which no-longer interupt and the lower aura's are going too.. so if your 36 or so, you get yellow debuffs and no blue debuffs like before.. I think this is how its affecting the reaver in 1.72.
