Quote:Yes Bolty, any hit or damage interrupts the channeling.
An interesting twist to this is that it also affects priests in a small way. Mind Control is a channeling spell, so any little hit will break the control and send the mob after the caster. This can be important, because often when I've used MC in solo situations, I'll MC one mob and the mob's partner might choose to come after me instead of the mob I've MC'd. Before, I would absorb a few hits before I'd finally get my pet to do enough damage to take aggro off me. Now, one hit will (probably) break the control. Also, if the companion is a mob with an area of effect attack, that'd be nasty. Still, MC's range has increased, so maybe in the end that'll compensate for the change by making it more likely that mobs will attack my MC'd pet rather than me. We'll see.
As was said when D2's 1.10 patch came out: We will adjust.
