Spell interupt merit

[Kaylia]

If I get +8%, is it a raw "+8%" chance to not get interupted on any spell, no matter what my skill level is or level difference with the mobs? I'm debating between crit down merit or interupt down merit. 13% chance (5% base +8%) on /nin doesnt look too bad.

Hard to tell, but it seems to be. I have Lv4 Interruption merit and have seen a handful of miracle casts on THF/NIN, even though interrupt rate from any Lv70+ mob should be 100% vs. 114 Ninjutsu.

Almost certain there is a 5% cap (like everything else). It saved me a lot on war. That's why I'm wondering if it would push it to 13%, or keep it at 5%.


Same for enfeebling on blm. An interupt on a poorly timed sleep/bind/grav can often mean death.

Sadly it doesn't matter how much spell interruption rate -% you stack, it'll never kick in when you really need it to.

I went with Spell Interrupt Rate Down 4/4 rather than Enemy Crit Rate. Combined w/ Sorcerer's Belt on BLM I'd say it's fairly noticeable.

Other than Crit+ for DDs and Enmity+/- for people that only play jobs that would benefit from one or the other the Other category doesn't have much else going for it, really.

As a RDM who does a lot of sleeping-a-bunch-of-mobs-at-the-same-time type of shit, I love my 4/4 interruption rate merits. I get interrupted a lot less than other mages in the same situation and tend to live more because of it. It's also handy when trying to put up Stoneskin/Phalanx while getting beaten on while soloing.
