OKAY... i know there have been other threads complaining about this... but after testing and testing some more... its time for me to post something...

these are my observations and disapointments

I have had the following happen... and this is based off of single clicking skills and not queing them nothing...

Creatures actually breaking attack speed and interupting... meaning i go to cast a 1/4 sec spell right after an attack from a single creature and boom they imediate interupt my cast

back to back interupts from the same creature with interupts that have way longer recharge time and again they can interupt faster than they can attack

Repeatedly being interupted on stances... stances have 0 cast time how is this possible...

I can understand adding challenge to the game... but i have always disliked giving the AI unfair and game mechanic cheats.... what these creatures are now doing is simply cheating not actual AI

Shame on the designers for attempting to make better AI by simply giving the mobs a seperate set of rules...

what is the purpose of fast cast on mesmers anmore when they can interupt 1/4 second spells at 16 fast casting or when stances can be interupted...

where are the game mechanics and player skill when the rules don't apply anymore... timing used to mean something now it means absolutely nothing... no mater what that creature is amazingly able to interupt between attacks and interupt your 0 cast stances....

can we please get a response on this... nightfall is arround the corner... and i know my purchase means nothing but seriousely i have quit games and refused to play any games where the programers consider cheating as good AI....

if you dont believe me... go to the desert agro a scarab crew with a single scarab nest builder (lvl22 non boss) and be amazed at the amount of cheating going on... clear the scarabs and just take on the nest builder... they will even interupt while they are in the middle of laying a trap

Your complaining about ranger NPC's interupting you. They cant see the future. Arrows have flight time. Distracting shot has a 1/2 cast time. It cant interupt you unless its just pure luck(1/4 cast time). (I even started spamming skills, only interupted sig of dovotion out of blight, rof, and inspired hex)

Edit: besides, PvE is easy anyway, unless its a difficult solo farm run or something..

He's talking about Shiro'ken farming. Yeah, they interrupt my crap all the time. And they're not interrupting your stance. It gets removed insanely fast from the Assassins, who have Wild Strike. It's annoying, I was actually just thinking how annoying it is, but it's something you have to live with. *shrug* It's not like a few screw ups aren't worth it.

solo yes... of corse otherwise it would be an inacturate test.... pve yes because we know that humans cannot interupt 1/4 cast spells except by pure luck...

when the skills the creatures are using take more time to cast than the spell they are interupting and they manage to somehow pull it off yes... they are cheating there is something majorly wrong with the AI otherwise for them to accomplish this...

single stacking skills meaning im not quiing them up... back to back meaning they managed to interupt a stance then interupt two 1/4 second cast spells wtih 16 fast casting back to back....

also being able to interupt while they are laying a trap... and being able to interupt between attacks

hit normal attack interupt hit normal attack... in the time it takes them to do a normal attack...

im not just purely whining because im some newb or something... these are places ive been to over and over and over again... revisiting these areas after a nice little break and hearing about instant interupts... its appauling what the AI is doing...
