Game Mechanics: Player's bashes are not interrupting mob spells.

@haynar:
So you confirm that this bash work as intended, it's merely a cosmetic fix that won't ever have any use in raid, correct?

[elwing]

So can a gm confirm whether this work as intended? It's pretty much useless atm, is it intended?

ianagm, but assuming takp numbers are correct, yes, it is effectively useless and that is classic/intended

A couple of trips to Permafrost yielded no success against the spellcaster ice giants there (which are relatively low level, only 50ish). Best I got was a couple "regains its concentration and continues casting" messages and I'm not even sure those were due to bashes. As noted preiviously, bash SHOULD interrupt things, even if not totally reliable. "It didn't work all that well" is not the same thing as, "It doesn't work at all." I'll continue testing as circumstance permits.

Any update on this stuff? When I leveled my Warrior his 55+ "Stun Kick" always worked fantastically well to interrupt caster mobs in places like Sebilis.

Is the situation with Bash a different thing altogether? Are we talking about only "raid level" mobs?

REALLY hope to see this get sorted out before the G99 launch. The ability to sword+board Bash is a real strength of the Knight classes in regards to group content! (ESPECIALLY on a fresh server of ungeared players)
