Ah, so many people hate the interrupter... surely the interrupters out here must have some moments of their own that bring a warm smile to their hearts... for example in the arenas and you hit that rez sig with a distracting shot (one of my favorites), or even that time you hit the opposing rangers poison arrow with distracting shot leaving him standing there trying to figure out what to do next...
Share some interrupter love, make us smile.
For me... in ranger interrupter mode, I stayed on a monk and had a zen timing going... he was shut down so bad he simply left the match.
You?
Oh, for those non-interrupters, without flaming the interrupters, what is it that really sticks in your craw when it gets hit?
Keep it light, please... keep it fun.
Fun with interrupts...

The best one has to be smacking down the troll unguent of some ranger who has gone "all-out-interrupt" himself but fails to throw up any defenses against my distracting shot

2 Interrupt rangers make Thunderhead Keep a walk in the park, they just interrupt ALL the stomps and ALL enemy spells.
Good interrupters can wait to interrupt a spell at 95%, instead of at 25% especially by rusty dazed migraine warriors that use signets.
I LOVED to "daze" mesmers to death before the patch, wasnt even spiking.
I really liked the opponent ranger mesmer that brought all interrupts he could to cast them all on me.
I just walked around a little bit while my allies killed their team.

Every once in a while I switch up my axe build to carry both disrupting chop and distracting blow...man, does that frustrate enemy casters. Hurts my offense a bit, but couple that with Fear Me! and you can be a real pain in the rear...

Using distracting shot on... distracting shot. Best. Interrupt. Ever.
Ranger was running around to kite my shots, then stopped to fire a distracting shot at one of the monks, as soon as he stopped running, I prefired distracting shot hoping to hit something, and got him firing his. Had a damn good laugh at that one.

My favorite interrupt is the Necro blood spell Mark of Subversion. It's great blood spiking a monk down half way and then throwing on Mark. Imagine their surprise when instead of healing themselves the spell is interrupted, they take an additional 100 damage and I'm healed for 100. Mark generally seals any Monk's fate when they fight me.

Plague touch dazed+cane them to death. Nuf Said.

Working monks over until they are running their orison and healing touch combo to keep themselves alive...then hitting healing touch with distracting shot...then watching them run...then going after them and finishing them easily.
But ya distracting a distracting...that just CRAZY TALK!

I like interrupting the fast cast power blocks.

Distracting Shot one of the newbie monks who only rely on Orison of Healing = Priceless.

interupting rez skills/spells... gotta love it

I have a hammer warrior, and I'm trying to perfect my interrupts. I am in Tombs fighting an all ranger and one monk team. I hate rangers so I go after the monk and start bashing on him. My adrenaline is up so I use Devastating hammer... he goes down, I hit him with Irresistable blow. When he gets up and starts to cast, I use hammer bash and he goes down again. He gets up and starts to run and I use Bull's strike, and he goes down again. At this point I'm LMAO. I do this over and over again. We are eventually defeated but I must have really pissed off that monk.... smile.
Yes, strike.
Yes, strike.

Gotta love power blocking that primary healer in GvG or pvp. Just watching him sit there doing nothing in the corner of your screen is worth it.

About two months ago in Scarred Earth, I was on interrupt ranger and well we were already winning against this team so I was targetting this warrior, he just freshly eviscerated one of our monks, and was a good distance away so I fire off a distracting shot...and nailed his axe rake ^_^.
AncientPC
I play an R/Me in PvP arenas, my favorite was interrupting something ridiculous like 6 rez sigs in a single match.

I don't really PvP at all, but I love interrupting Giant Stomps, and my henchmen actually appreciate when I do...
MSecorsky
It's also mildly amusing to find a monk that panics when poison arrow gets him... you start seeing him spam mend ailment or something like that instead of healing. When you interrupt that, you can almost see it's underwear fill up.

I just had a question about my Distracting Shot - Can you intterupt stances? Is it possible? Thanks...

Which is kind of funny... you'd think if someone got knocked down their stance would be broken...
However, as a primary ranger, I'm glad of it.

I power spiked an opposing mesmers power spike...completely by accident - I'd gone for the previous spell but was too slow and as he cast his power spike immediately after the 1st I got that instead.
Pretty funny to get a WTF??? when their .25 cast time spell got slapped down

I <3 my Interrupt Ranger. Monks are my favourite to pick on. I especially like when they they try to run and hide behind walls. 
Poor ickle monkey...when you tie up a monk and keep him out of the battle you know you're doing something good for your team.
Eles are fun too since they have plenty of slow cast spells that are great to interrupt just as they're about to be cast...interrupt skills should come with an extra attribute; Energy, Activation Time, Recharge Time, and Pissed-Off Frustration Caused to Victim!
Interrupting Ghostly Hero is also fun.

Was probably the time a monk started complaining about my concussion shot hitting his RoF (completely accidental, I assure you)

i love playing interrupt/poison ranger in 4v4 pvp.
these are some of my favorite interrupt moments:
- as posted earlier, distracting shot on an interrupt ranger w/ no stances using troll ungent, followed poison arrow
- interrupt healing breeze, then distracting shot on heal sig on w/mo's usually when they're about to die
- concussion shot on any casters, but especially monks because they are so hard to time. then watching the casters run around, getting interrupted everytime they are hit muhaha
- waiting until the last second to interrupt a res sig w/ savage shot so they've wasted 2.5 sec doing nothing. then as they're frantically trying to rez sig again, use distracting shot on them at the 2 sec mark as they are being taken down by the rest of my team
- this is just hilarious, but interrupting an 8 sec cast restore life at the last sec =)
- i love interrupting balth's aura because you know they just wasted 25 energy, but even more interrupting zealots followed by balths
- eles are always fun to interrupt because their casts are so slow
- most fun is probably distracting shot on a heavy enchant monk using blessed sig for energy, repeatedly. once i got into this cat and mouse game w/ a korean monk in random pvp. he would repeatedly try to fool me into wasting my interrupts so he could get a blessed sig out, but he's have to abort everytime he saw me firing an arrow not knowing whether or not it was an interrupt or not. and i'd try to catch him off guard and not waste my interrupts .. i really need to cap oath shot. unfortunately the other team had 2 monks, but this poor monk could only squeeze out an orison/mending for my constant poisoning. but yah, that was a challenge heh.
- or long bow interrupts on short cast spells using read the wind, i love that lol
- one more, sitting in the middle of 3 wars banging on me, all blinded by throw dirt, while i troll ungent and interrupt their spells and sigs, sitting pretty in whirling defense

Interrupts can be all the more fun when combined with Arcane Conundrum or Migraine...or both!
At one point I slapped those two on a fire ele and, for whatever insane reason, he decided then would be a good time to cast meteor shower.
So I go and bug the Monks for a bit, hexing and interrupting them while saving my Power Block. 15 seconds or so later I switched back to the ele, 9/10ths finished casting, and threw it just before the end.
Poor guy rage quit immediately afterwards. I love being a Mesmer.

Great fun!

Fragility is great to interupt.
It destroys the fragility build and they become useless alltogether.

I was in CA last night and the other team was down to a w/mo and a ranger.
The W/Mo was using a lot of monk spells so I slapped an arcane conundrum on him. About 5 seconds later he actually tried to cast Restore Life....

i play interrupter from time to time in random arena for fun and yesterday i had a nice laugh.
right before the match started the monk of the enemy group said accidentally in the local chat "a protter is hard to interrupt" so i ran straight up to him to test it.
about 30 seconds later i had interrupted every single skill he tried to use and killed him.
he left immediately after he died
