I've noticed that assassin heroes use this pretty much as an attack skill and not to interrupt stuff. Confirm/Deny?

Also, what about other interrupts such as Dchop, Dstrike, Dblow etc.... are those used as interrupts or attacks?

I think that the way the hero AI uses this skill is that it interrupts ANY action the foe is doing... most if not all those distracting/disrupting attacks say the opponents actions which includes regular attacks.

so i think the hero will use the skill to even interrupt the foe's wanding/attacking

I think that Disrupting Stab is used as an attack (maybe that's 'cause sin's attack chain mechanic?) however I'm pretty sure that my Koss is using Dchop as an interrupt (not sure about agonizing)...

Not 100% sure though...someone would have to test it I suppose....

Confirm. Despite what Skyros said, it's not used to even interrupt normal attacks - the AI just used it as an opener against a test suit of armour.

If I remember correctly Savage Slash is only used on spells and Disarm is not used as an interrupt (basically it's used as an attack skills against attacking foes).

D-Blow works fine on heroes.

Pretty sure that they use Agonizing Chop to interrupt....

At least the Heket seem to.
