Guild Wars 2

I’ve gotta admit, these interrupt skills have been pleasantly surprising. I was messing around with a 10/30/0/0/30 shatter build in the mists. Knight’s Amulet-Zerk gem, Runes of the Eagle. Just doing basic Mesmerish-shattery stuff and making people rage and call me OP.

I was running Dueling II, IV, X for spits and giggles but I realized I didn’t really need the fury since I was stealing it with Arcane Thievery left and right. So instead I tried Furious Interruption and at first I barely noticed the effect.. But when I started planning for it?

- iLeap + Swap + Diversion = 5 to 6 hits from the auto attack while saving me a Blurred Frenzy
- Diversion on people trying to stomp allies and quickness rezz.
- Diversion on people rezzing/fighting for quickness stomp.
- Scepter auto actually becomes good!

I still can’t say whether its truly worth it or not yet, still playing around with some ideas. I think if the 15 sec cooldown was reduced to maybe 10-12 or so it’d be much more appealing.

I know, in theory, the interrupt traits don’t look so good, but I urge people to really play around with them and try em out. Bountiful Interruption and Halting Strike have already proven that they’re worthwhile, and Furious Interruption really doesn’t look so bad when you figure out uses for the 3-sec Quickness. (Are there any Quickness Runes/Sigils?)

Combined with Halting Strike and Bountiful Interruption its pretty cool, could be VERY good with Staff and Chaos Storm

Currently playing around with Bountiful Interruptions myself

Check out Osicat’s Shatter Heavy 3.0 build Staff+Sword/Focus build. Bountiful Interruption + F3 Diversion (Daze) + Focus Pull (Interrupt) + Chaos Storm (Daze) + Hoelbrak Runes.

The longer and more opponents, the stronger you become. 25 stacks of might is often obtainable.

Furious Interruption would have earned its place in my build if not for the ICD 15 seconds. Halting Strike and Bountiful Interruption are really good.
@Chaos: Sigil of Rage provides Quickness, I used to have it on Scepter but my crit chance was low so it didn’t really shine. I think you might want to try it out if you go 30 deep in Dueling.
