you don't realy need to disrupt WW, realy, let them cast all they want, simply chaining skills makes it worthless anyway you have to renew flurry every 5 seconds, so if you get one skill off in between if you see the icon of WW, you'll be fine

The concept of "interrupting" wastrel's is false. It has a 1/4 cast time..with fast cast it's nearly instant. When you disrupt a 1/4 cast time you are using your interrupt prior to them casting. It is more of an anticipation, involved with a luck factor, than demonic reflexes. Still funnny to see :P But I wouldn't credit anyone for it. Especially for something like Wastrel's, which is spammed frequently by PvE enemy mesmers who carry it.

Well, it's more of a greater understanding of the way the game works. When you're interrupting under 1 second casts, consistantly... it helps.

Just pointing out that it's really not "interrupting" so much as it's getting lucky. If you're interrupting a 1/4 cast time with a 1/2-1 second or even more (swinging interrupt like Skull Crack), you had to have used the skill before they casted. The ability to do this often is simply because those who carry wastrel's spam it--as they should

PvE monsters often work in a pattern, but there are never certain actions like a robot. Sometimes they'll cast frequently, some times you can watch a caster go down without casting a single spell (regardless of how you kill them). When disrupting monsters with slower skills/spells than the ones they casted, I see it as luck. If you're doing this in PvP, I consider you foolish :P. Certain instances will occur where you know they'll have to cast...but that shouldn't happen on a "consistant" basis. You may think they want to cast, and they as well, but perhaps it will take them a second or 2 to be able to (lag, positioning, indecisive) and you can easily waste your instant interrupt in that time gap, before they do a thing.

It now has a less visible, bubblier effect. Kinda like if you were seeing spots from a bright camera flash or if you were hrmmm..Dazed. I miss the old art, but in all fairness--the other conditions have minimal representative art, if any.

Heh it would be nice if your screen would go blurry when you're dazed..like in Battlefield 2, when a grenade explodes next to you, your screen blurs and it's harder to move...REALLY annoying though.

I dont consider it getting lucky.

Mentally creating a picture of the skill timing down in your head and timing your attack pattern so your disrupt is at the right time is not just luck.

Unlike ranger interrupts, you cant spam disrupting chop.

The problem is that you don't know when the right time is. When disrupting with something that is casting slower than the enemie's spell/skill you are planning to interrupt, you are firing prior to it. You are anticipating, but even PvE AI's actions are not always executed on a schedule. That is where the luck plays in--whether the enemy will or will not be casting.

You know, I have to agree with Brutani on this one. Interrupting a 1/4 second cast spell with disrupting chop is *mostly* luck, especially in PvP becasue there is just no way to anticipate what and or when another person is going to cast. In fact, when I play a caster, I make SURE that I change the timing on my skills when playing against interrupt characters like rangers so that they have to guess when/what Im going to cast next. Calling it skill is like saying you are a skillful lottery player. Yeah, you play enough, eventually you will win. use disrupting chop enough, and eventually you will interrupt that 1/4 s cast but I would wager that it only happens in 1% or less times of using chop.

In Pvp it's luck but when you've watched the skills the enemys use and how often they use it you know when to use the interupt, Like when I did it up there I just watched the dryder for a minute or so and finally got it down so then I went and interupted him. Pvp luck PvE skill

I dshotted Protective Spirit twice in a row, and RoF on the same monk, all in the span of a minute. Just ask Divine Muse >_>

-edit-

Heh, and later in that game, Famous Big Stick and I shot dshots at each other at the exact same time. Didn't catch either, though lol

And in pvp it's intuition, in pve it's predictability, not skill. Kthx >_>
