Interrupts.
1 pages • Page 1
there are 3 main types of interrupts:
Mesmer interrupts: [power spike][power leak][power drain][power block] etc. these only interrupt spells and chants while they're being cast, either you hit the spell and interrupt it or you miss altogether.
Melee(Ranger, Warrior, Assassin) interrupts: [distracting shot][savage shot][punishing shot][concussion shot][magebane shot][disrupting chop][disrupting blow][savage slash][distracting strike][disrupting dagger] etc, these can interrupt any action, even auto attack(which doesn't really help you). these skills have on hit clauses, such as [distracting shot][magebane shot][distrupting chop] skill disabling. note that [savage shot][concussion shot][savage slash] only trigger the on hit clause if they interrupt a spell, but they will still interrupt non spell skills, just without the extras.
Pre skill interrupt: [clumsiness][ineptitude][wandering eye][guilt][shame] these start as hexes and whenever the hexed target triggers the condition of the hex(either attacks or casts a spell on ally/foe) that skill will be interrupted and the on interrupt cause will trigger.
as a Warrior you can use standard melee interrupt skills, or even take Mesmer interrupts like [power spike] which was a rather popular choice for Warriors back in the day. keep in mind however that knockdowns also interrupt a target's action if they were in the middle of something, and if not than it prevents them to do anything besides 0 activation skills such as stances.

read the skill descriptions they tell you what they interupts (i.e. action or spell or skill etc.) it will also interrupt chants
any mesmer interrupt with the word power will interrupt a chant.

If you run an Axe Warrior, you'll be carrying a Deep Wound, so don't forget:

Interrupt your target (as long as they are suffering from a DW) and get some extra dmg off to boot. Yummy.
