Guild Wars 2

Well, I’m toying around with builds and I came across Bountiful Interruption (Chaos XI).
I couldn’t find any answer elsewhere, but it looks like this trait is not working as intended.

“Apply a random boon to yourself when you interrupt a foe. "

This trait applies no boon if you use daze. But taken directly from the wiki:

“Daze is an effect caused by some skills which interrupts and prevents the target from using skills for a period of time. It does not stack in duration. "

While this trait is already very weak (albeit no one would use it in a regular build), it should be at least doing what is written in it’s description. It could use a buff in general though.

it interrupts skills by preventing use of them it isn’t specifically an interrupt. Daze prevents skill usage…. as a result of that it will interrupt “the ability to use skills”, that is it is not a direct interrupt.

Interrupt traits only work when they actually interrupt a skill, i.e. you use Daze while your target is using a skill and the skill is interrupted.

Are you sure of that…. Daze just activates a flat skill CD on all skills… the reason it technically interrupts is because a skill isn’t activate until the cast is over so the skill is hitting CD before the cast finishes, thereby interrupting it in that fashion. With actual interrupts, it interrupts the actual cast initiating a recast CD that is usually shorter than skill activation CD.. They act differently mechanically as far as I understand.

I get a boon if I stun a target even if it is doing nothing (golems in the mist), though I’m technically not interrupting them.

Daze’s primary effect is basically a Silence, preventing the target from using skills for its duration. It is also however an Interrupt effect, like Stun, Push, Pull, Knockdown, Launch, etc. When an interrupt effect is inflicted while the target is casting a skill, that skill is immediately terminated and goes into a 3s (I think) CD. This is the effect that procs “On Interrupt” skills.
