I'm not fully understanding Interrupts. Can any Interrupt Skill, Interrupt any action? How do these work? Also, just real quick, what's an effective Interrupt for a W/? to use on Glint, to stop her Hibernation?

there are 3 main types of interrupts:

Mesmer interrupts: [power spike][power leak][power drain][power block] etc. these only interrupt spells and chants while they're being cast, either you hit the spell and interrupt it or you miss altogether.

Melee(Ranger, Warrior, Assassin) interrupts: [distracting shot][savage shot][punishing shot][concussion shot][magebane shot][disrupting chop][disrupting blow][savage slash][distracting strike][disrupting dagger] etc, these can interrupt any action, even auto attack(which doesn't really help you). these skills have on hit clauses, such as [distracting shot][magebane shot][distrupting chop] skill disabling. note that [savage shot][concussion shot][savage slash] only trigger the on hit clause if they interrupt a spell, but they will still interrupt non spell skills, just without the extras.

Pre skill interrupt: [clumsiness][ineptitude][wandering eye][guilt][shame] these start as hexes and whenever the hexed target triggers the condition of the hex(either attacks or casts a spell on ally/foe) that skill will be interrupted and the on interrupt cause will trigger.

as a Warrior you can use standard melee interrupt skills, or even take Mesmer interrupts like [power spike] which was a rather popular choice for Warriors back in the day. keep in mind however that knockdowns also interrupt a target's action if they were in the middle of something, and if not than it prevents them to do anything besides 0 activation skills such as stances.

[distracting strike]
[distracting blow]
< thats for my bitch (glinty)

[distracting shot] [savage shot] will interupt anything

things like [leech signet] will interupt anything

[power spike] will only interupt spells (i believe lol)

read the skill descriptions they tell you what they interupts (i.e. action or spell or skill etc.)

Ohh. Thanks guys. I was able to take her down from using Distracting Shot. That +20 allowed my Hero's and Henchmen to drop her Health down to the next stage. Thanks.

any mesmer interrupt with the word power will interrupt a chant.

If you run an Axe Warrior, you'll be carrying a Deep Wound, so don't forget:

[Agonizing [email protected]]

Interrupt your target (as long as they are suffering from a DW) and get some extra dmg off to boot. Yummy.

Warrior also has access to knockdowns. If a monster is knocked down in the middle of an action, it is interrupted.

[distracting shot] is the king of interrupts.
