The game "knows" when you have pressed a skill button and so it "cheats" by allowing the RD to interupt you at that precise moment. The PVE AI cheats so the mobs can hold their own.

The way to avoid that is A: Wait for the RS to use its interupt and then use a skill (it recycles at perhaps 8 seconds). B: Use a skill that you don't care about to trigger its interupt and then use the skill you really need. C: Use your stances intelligently.

Hope that helps a little.

Even in PvP there are some players that are masters of interupt - as long as they see the castings (graphics) of some 3+ seconds spell - they switch targets and put a distracting shot.

For PvE use the advices that sun is in us gave. Mobs can cheat but cannot think

Also in the game there are skills that prevent interuption (at a cost).

I'm a big fan of ranger interrupts. Especially if I catch people using res sig.
