Guild Wars 2

I’m trying CI power build in WvW and I really like it. I’m trying to get a hang of what skills to interrupt for each class. So far the easiest to interrupt seem to be mesmers lol. So to all you interrupt masters out there please share some wisdom and list the skills beside each class that you look for to land your interrupt. Thank you in advance.

Warrior:
Guardian:
Engi:
Ele:
Thief:
Ranger:
Mesmer:
Necro:

I intorrupt Gardians if they use their Healing Signet. 2 times and he is dead. The WW from the Greatsword is also a nice target to intorrupt.

LG =)

You could always roll a few of these classes and test out their skills, particularly the builds that are in the meta right now. One definite skill to interrupt on all classes are heals. It’s fairly obvious when an opponent is casting a heal so I would be sure to always have an interrupt available for that, unless you have a teammate who you know is going to interrupt the heal.

I can’t give you a breakdown of what to interrupt for each class, as I am regrettably unfamiliar with some of the classes, and I’m sure there are others who can give better detail than I.

I’m far from a master, actually I rarely use CI, but here’s a couple of easy ones.

Warrior: Pretty much every gs/hammer skill has some huge tells lol, arcing arrow on his lb is a long cast time and obvious animation.
Mesmer: Channeled AA on gs makes it hard to not interrupt em.
Guard: Whirling wrath if there dps.
Ranger: With the new lb, it shouldn’t be too hard to ruin there rapid fire. There melee attacks aside from maul on gs are loaded with evades and quick cast time, so you’ll have better luck on there bows.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to get too in-depth, but for

Warrior, Guardian, Thief, Engi, Necro you can check the videos here:

I’ll edit this post with more detailed info when I can.

Heals are the most common thing to look out for. Although some heal skills are impossible to interrupt like the guardian block heal or thief’s roll heal.

Warrior: If you’re not in a position to avoid their attacks, I would interrupt any stuns they have and generally their adrenaline skills.

Guardian: If they’re using the healing book elite, I would lock that down. Staff might skill should be prevented in group fights. Between shouts and meditations, it might be difficult to interrupt any of their good utilities. If they’re using the signet heal, that should be your top priority.

Engi: Supply Crate would be on the top of my list of things to interrupt right away.

Ele: Anything with long casting times is generally bad news. Easy to interrupt though.

Thief: Interrupting a thief at any point is detrimental as they rely on their skills heavily. Key skills to interrupt would be the heartseeker after blackpowder (If d/p) or CnD if you can anticipate it. Preventing stealth is very painful for a lot of thieves. For thieves that rely on evasion attacks, it will be difficult to land an interrupt. It’s best to use dazes/stuns to prevent them from activating skills, not interrupting them.

Ranger: Rapid fire or maul. Their elite too, if you can.

Mesmer: Phantasm casts, mantra casts and especially their heal. Oh yeah, mass invisibility and moa morph should also be interrupted unless you can dodge moa morph.

Necro: Preventing them from doing anything in death shroud. If you can remove stability from their elite forms, preventing them from doing anything in those forms works too.

What I love to inturpt:
What I do to all is:intrupt heal skill and inturpt them while im on ileap→blurred frenzy combo.
Thief- on blackpowder,when he use the heal skill:cloack in shadows.And somtimes when they about to die with halting strike ofc.
Mesmer-somtimes in the start of the duel to make him panic and not using izerk,Mass invisiblity ofc.
Warrior-When he uses the channeling skills(such as 100b,whilwind axe ect),if I get hit by hammer stun.
Necro-mostly the feast on cond heal skill,the skills of DS,and lich(after you strip them with stability).
Ele-when they do the fire line thingy,and when they using the frost bow freeze thingy,or the earth high dmg and cond burst that takes so long to charge up.and ofc meteor shower.
Guard-when he use empower on staff,when he about to swing his gs on you,when he get you in the hammer ring.
Ranger-Rapid fire mostly(when they not using the gokitten quickness),when they switch to gs infront of you.
