or just interrupt action skills and dont give them a chance to use any skills at all it just seems like it would be easier that way then just waiting to interrupt a skill or spell with rangers and and axe warriors and their interrupt action attacks it could work as a great combo

OK, I just did the interrupt protection test with a friend of mine and we discovered that- like I suggested- PI overrides interrupt protection, i.e. if you have Mantra of Resolve or Tranquil Was Tanasen or whatever the case is and a skill that would normally interrupt your action is used against you, the protection will be bypassed and you will get knocked down. Whether this is a glitch or an intended aspect of the skill remains unanswered but we did several tests using various skills and interrupt protections and every single time PI knocked down through the protection. What the skill actually does is replace every interrupt with a knockdown. So if your target has PI on, read in the skill discription of your interrupts "knockdown" instead of "interrupt." This is very interesting and brings a whole new dimension to the skill.

so if you plan on interrupting skills such as Reversal of Fortune, your best bet would taking a skill like Arcane Conundrum along
Even with conundrum, it's one hell of a near impossibility.

The limit on reaction times is tested about 1/4s, casting time of interrupts is 1/4 x FC bonus, and lag (receive information of casting, send interrupt signal) contributes some... 1/4 and 1/2 spells are still mainly still in the realm of anticipation.

Unless your FC is really high, you're ready to interrupt at the slightest skill usage, and your lag is really really low
