I have conducted some research on the arrowhead hatchlings in Auric Basin for the interactions between the interrupt traits in the Domination/Chaos/Chrono lines and break bar on bosses, and here are some interesting results:
- Confounding Suggestions will drain more of the break bar. A f3 with a single iLeap without this trait takes away approximately 50%, and 65% with it.
- Dazzling works everytime, even when the bar is broken
- Illusions of Vulnerability (minor), Furious Interruption, Power Block, Chaotic Interuption and Delayed Reactions do not work at all.
What does this mean? All the interrupt traits/sigils are effectively useless in a boss encounter, they won’t activate even if you break the bar, only when the interrupt text appears. Granted there are better options in PvE, however this was done for the purpose of clarity. It’s also worth noting that Illusions of Vulnerability is unavoidable as a minor trait. We should have a change on this.
