First let me say that I am not in the beta so am flying blind with any suggestions that I make. Having said that, I was wondering if maybe a compromise between the people who want to get rid of the "stuttering" and the people who think it should stay could work. What I am thinking of is a kind of chance to interrupt. Like maybe only 33.333333333333% of the time an attack will interrupt a spell. If you prefer a more diablo variant one could also consider having interrupts only happen when an attack is above a certain percentage of your health. A system like this could even be implemented across the board. Since melee characters have more health their attacks would get interrupted less, but still might sometimes. A mage's would get interrupted more often, but not all the time. I'm wondering if the mage is so underpowered right now that it needs to never be interrupted or if it just needs to not always be interrupted. From what I am hearing it also sounds like the melee classes could use a bit of interruptions now and again as well. I mean if you get hit hard in mid swing there seems to me to be a pretty good chance that you are going to mess up your swing. : ) I don't know how the damage system works in World of Warcraft though. If a particular monster always hits for the same amount then the percentage of life option wouldn't be such a good option. However the staight interrupt a percentage of the time option would still work. So what do you think of all of this? Does it have to be all or nothing with the interrupts?
