What cast time abilities are Interruptible in PvP?

Avran_Sylt

Hi, Still new to the PvP scene:

Since Uppercut is apparently uninterruptible, even though bashing/venom arrow/ crushing shock all say in their tooltips that they interrupt and stun players who are using cast time abilities, how many other skills are uninterruptible? My experience is only with a Nightblade DW in PvP.


These are the cast time abilities I've found so far, bolded means I know they are interruptible, crossed means they are not.

List of Cast Time abilities:
Solar Flare (and Dark Flare morph)
Healing Ritual (and morphs)
Crystal Shard (and morphs apart from C Frag Proc)
Daedric Summons (summoning cast time)?
Feral Guardian (summoning)
Uppercut (and morphs)
Snipe (and morphs)
Force Siphon (and morphs)

If these are really all the abilities that bashing and venom arrow/crushing shock actually work on in PvP, why have Interruptible attacks in PvP at all?

Solar flare = interruptable afaik
Healing ritual = no clue
Crystal shard = interruptable
Daedric summons = interruptable
Feral guardian = no clue haven't tested it on pts, assume it is interruptable cause sorc pets are interruptable
Force siphon = no clue
Dark exchange = interruptable

There are a couple rules for skills with a cast time/channel:

-If it is melee range (8m or less) it is generally not interruptible
-all heavy attacks are not interruptible

One weird exception is Crushing Shock/Force Shock. It is considered a channel now, but has no channel time or cast time. This makes it undodgeable and unreflectable, but not interruptible since there is no cast/channel time.

@danno8

Force Shock considered to be a channel in what way? The undodgeable and uninterruptible? Could it also be effected by sets such as soulshine?

It's considered a beam, like soul assault, not a channel.

Yes, but every other offensive "beam" in the game is a channel. Soul Assault, Radiant Destruction, Invigorating Drain etc...

They are all interruptible, undodgeable, unreflectable.

Then they decided to call Force/Crushing a "Beam" because Sorcerers needed more help dealing damage and didn't like that DK's could reflect so much of their paltry offensive spells (lol).

Resurrecting someone is also interruptible via bash, venom arrow and crushing shock.

Well sorcs have curse, frags, force pulse and endless if sorcs decide to use it. One is an execute and useless above 20%. One is a curse put upon someone. So two damage skills reflectable out of 3 (endless isn't used by all sorcs and is an execute) before they changed it.

It was the right change imo, and I'm a stamDK main.
