Disrupting Stab - Guild Wars Forums

I have noticed when raptors use this skill, that if you were not taking an action/spell, it simply stacks on you until such time that you do take an action/skill.

Lead Attack. If this attack hits, it interrupts target foe's action. If that action was a Spell, it is disabled for 3...9...10 seconds.

Now I was curious if this was simply a game mechanic flaw or actually the intended way this skill should work. It seems to be a permanent hex/condition until you trigger it's interrupt effect. Or remove it, if possible.

No, they just have godly interrupts so they CAN hit you right as you use it, or you get hit by a few, cast something and then get interrupted by another raptor.

You're hallucinating. There's no such thing as stacking interrupts.

If you're talking about raptors, they always come in groups. A single Raptor may lead with that skill and NOT interrupt a skill you used, but the NEXT one may interrupt you. If the skill is used when you are not using a skill yourself, it will not interrupt or cause the recharge delay. It only causes the interrupt or recharge delay when it hits you while you are using a skill.
