When is the break point of being able to cast through interruptions?

Should a level 39 be able to interrupt a level 50 casting ?

What about a level 42? Level 20? When is the break point?

These past few days Ive seen casters and healer types cast through people that are meleeing and hitting level 50s, casting through amnesia and DDs from sub 50s and its not even phasing them. And watching a video on the forums I noticed it on there too.


I always remembered that if you were interrupted (unless it was SUPER low player) you got interrupted.... Set me straight forums!

Amnesia doesnt trigger an interupt unless its resisted, it just cancels the current cast.

So depending on the cast time for the spell it could just look like its doing nothing.

a little off topic, but since u mentioned lower vs higher lvls in rvr...is it just me or does it seem lower lvls' spells land more frequently on higher lvls and the lower lvls resist more spells casted from the higher lvls? @vlalkor

it does seem like that sometimes. grey spells from greys landing majority of the time, while you resist a 50's higher spec spells. understand baselines having a higher chance of landing but not specs.

edit any resisted spell can interrupt you even low level players. excuse given to kill all in area before a erm fight.

Yeah I realize that but they also casted through mez interuptions and resisted amnesia.

I'd have to do some testing to confirm. It seems that spells the 20s land more than in the 30s but I'm wondering if that is because there is more of a bonus for level 50 in the group? (In my situation) ... Either way Stop trying to kill me while I'm leveling, its already hard enough!! <3

I get everything landed on me from lower lvl players, mezzes, stuns and all styles seem to hit me more often than when i am up against a lvl 50.... whether it is true or not idk, but ive seen a lvl 50 rr 6l4 hero taken down by a grp who conned grey as they landed all their dots and styles and debuffs and even when i am on my low lvl chars i seem to land my spells and styles more on lvl 50's than when i am playing on my lvl 50...

Here's my theory:

In RVR the resist rates are supposed to be adjusted so that a lower level wont get perma resisted as if he/she was casting on a level 50 mob. IIRC the level of the player is ignored, so it's only spell level vs target level. Which should lead to more resists by default due to the lower level toon casting lower level spells.

But maybe the "to hit" bonus from higher level group mate still kicks in (probably shouldnt vs rvr targets), making lowbie toons essentially unresistable?

As for the original topic. It was supposed to be that realm targets of any level interrupted you pretty regularly. Thus why the grey con druid pet was always feared.

Exactly what I knew to be true too. In RvR level doesnt matter spells hit, but they should interrupt too and they were not in this case.

50% of the spell cast.
