Well, technically obs flesh doesn't prevent interrupts.. but all they have is spells, and spells fail against obs flesh. Just to clarify.

I do this any time there's a holiday with drops, really. It's fun to see all of them drop together, too.

You know what I meant...if you really want to think about it, technically, it would indirectly prevent the interrupts...if it works, w/o it, you would be interrupted. Please don't get all forum elite nazi on me...if you don't have any constructive input, please don't post.

I'll still haven't tested, but what I'm concerned about is:

Disrupting Stab-

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.

Is disrupting stab a spell or a lead attack or the same when considring obby flesh? (b/c for obby flesh u can't be target of enemy spells - Elite Enchantment Spell. For 8...18...20 seconds, you gain +20 armor and cannot be the target of enemy spells, but cannot attack and have -2 energy degeneration.)

Disrupting Stab is not a spell, it is an attack skill. It will interrupt actions even if you have OF up. All spells say "spell" somewhere in their descriptions: spell, hex spell, enchantment spell, etc. If a description does not say it's a spell, it isn't a spell.

Thank you Brett...

...then how are all you saying that OF works for farming this specific area? What are you doing to stop the interrupts?

The area we're talking about is the area around the bear shrine in Jaga Moraine. There is nothing in the area being farmed other than 60 Spectral Vaettir, which are mesmers who only cast spells and do earth damage with their weaponless physical attacks. They do not have Disrupting Stab, which is an assassin skill used with daggers. The only interrupt they have is Clumsiness, which is a spell that cannot be targeted on you while you use Obsidian Flesh.

Yeah, I think Norian thinks he's in a Raptor Nestling farm thread. Those are the often-farmed enemies that use Disrupting Stab.

Norian, as BrettM said, we're talking about farming Jaga Moraine Vaettirs (mesmer mobs) in this thread. Nobody's stabbing anybody. :-)

For what it's worth, Obsidian Flesh would not prevent any attack from hitting you, and if that attack is an interrupt, then you will be interrupted when it hits you. Obsidian Flesh prevents spells from targeting you. So, if Disrupting Stab were on the field, then you would have to plan for it.

But it ain't, so no worries. In this thread, we're just farming mesmers who can't cast anything on you because of ObsFlesh, and so all they can do is punch you in the face instead.

Please, I was clarifying my own post, not yours! No offense intended.

The run being discussed is where you run from Longeye's Ledge, through the Bjora Marches, and into Jaga Moraine, where right inside is the 60 Spectral Vaettirs. You have to run from this side to do it safely, too. In addition, these Vaettirs are unique among farms because they attack using earth damage - negating the need for stone striker.

The obs flesh build can't work for raptors, and in fact, ele builds can't nowadays because of the nerf to sliver armor - if any can, it's not the full group.

Hope I've helped!
