MMO combat isn’t all that complicated, for the most part. Hit bad guys with the end of your Pain Stick, don’t stand in the fire, and if you see a cast bar happening, you flail about looking for your interrupt ability that you totally forgot you even had.
I’m of mixed feelings about interrupt abilities in combat. They are really satisfying to pull off, and I do appreciate the devs giving me a chance to avoid a particularly nasty attack. However, interrupts don’t always work (sometimes it depends on the boss and whether the devs let you interrupt), take up a spot on your crowded hotbar, and can be fiddly.
Do you like interrupt mechanics in combat? How about when they’re used against you?
