I have been farming ghial solo on my monk recently and its advised to take glyph of conncentration to help with the interupts that the Jade mesmers do.. they have often been interupting my Prot Spirit which is a 1/4 Spell which was getting really agrovating.. So i Decided to Look up the spell which was interupting me and it was Power Return and Signet of Disruption which are both 1/4 sec cast spells so how is it possible to interupt a 1/4 spell with another 1/4 spell?

With the Attribute Fast Casting you cast spells faster making the 1/4 cast spells a little faster, and they have godlike reflexes

Avarre · Sep 13, 2006, 12:34 PM // 12:34

That and if you cast skills in any sequence, they might miss one skill and hit another.

Yes but i have been interupted by signets also not just power return and signets are not affected by fast casting

i thought of that so i started casting spells further apart and was still being interupted

The signet shouldnt be able to interrupt prot spirit, but power return can as the NPC's have no reaction time.

What i do find annoying is how an attaxe can interrupt prot spirit (1/4second) with savage slash (1/2 second) when they dont spam interrupts and i dont chain cast.

i totally agree with that it gets so annoying but then again SV ftw

What's *even more* annoying is the fact that can interrupt PS even while you are in Bonetti's stance. I'm a pretty laid back guy, but that sort of foul play pisses me off in a microsecond.

Hmm..I Farm ghial and they have never hit Prot Spirit >_> They go to town in HB though, and sometimes Concentration itself.

What I do is:
Before I aggro the jade going across the bridge to ghial, I put up HB and PS. Then I aggro up the groups there and move across that bridge. Right before I aggro Ghials group I put my spells back up and usually get Concentration rdy. I move into position beside Ghial and cast HB (which falls under concen) and cast concentration again. If all goes well on that cast I'll put up Sliver Armor and use PS and HB liberally while I wait the 8-9 secs it takes to kill him. If that concentration gets interupted I use PS then try it again, if it gets interupted again I use HB and hope they are out of interupts then I glyph until it catches and then put Sliver up.

It basically gives me time to shrug off 1-2 interupts in a row without fear of dying.

I farm Ghail with a wa/mo and use Vigorous Spirit to lure the interrupt then safely cast Healing Hands. VS is on a 4 second timer so in a couple seconds I cast it safely as well. Can you do likewise, lure the interrupt with a quick recharging spell? How about an enchantment you already have up?

It is possible that you are getting interrupted by the signet. Sometimes they may use the spell when you aren't actually casting and catch it. I often can catch the beginning of a short duration cast when I interrupt by anticipating it or just by blind luck.
