Fluffle 1,506 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out what Interrupt and Perception are supposed to do. I think many of you do consider Perception a dump stat. I do not want to discuss that here. I rather would like to know what's the idea/concept behind Interrupt. If I succeed in interrupting my enemy a lot does that mean they should be less able to hit me because they are busy "being interrupted" ? Do I efficiently reduce their attack rate if I interrupt them a lot? Or what is the idea?

Fluffle 1,506 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 So Interrupts only apply to special actions and spells? On the PoE wiki it says "If a character is hit while preforming an action such as casting a spell, attacking an enemy or reloading a weapon his action is interrupted, if he can't maintain his Concentration." This would include interrupting normal attacks, would it not? Somehow that led me to believe that I could interrupt an enemy from attacking me (if I succeeded the interrupt attempt). Furthermore the wiki says: "If an action is interrupted, it stops. If it's a repeated action like reloading/firing or performing standard attacks, it will restart from the beginning as soon as the interrupt animation finishes." I have yet to see this "interrupt animation". Has anyone tried it out? :/ Is the information on the wiki even up to date?

Leferd 3,046 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I could be wrong. Sawyer wrote on it somewhere. Will have to dig up... "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to post Share on other sites
