Also i remember someone (Kaeko maybe ?) mentioning a theory saying -interrupt down would actually be a sorta "diminishing factor" on the casting time during which you would be interruptable, maybe starting from instant you cast.
Has it been debunked ? (thinking about something like, with -50% interrupt down, getting hit during 1st "phase" of spell casting = no interrupt, but getting hit during 2nd "phase" = interupted)
If that theory work, then PLD/nin could potentially mix shield skill, haste and fill remaining slots with spell interrupt down, to time their utsu casting exactly just before 1st hit (eat it) to allow spell get off just before next hit, with 100% success?
