How to interrupt casters on my 51 Ranger?

[Woodrow]

My ranger has always struggled with casters because I haven’t figured out how to interrupt their casting. As I see it my options are:
- kick (doesn’t seem to do much)
- weapon proc (too random)
- weapon “push” (ie. moving an enemy thereby interrupting them) (I don’t understand this mechanic really but I think more hits = more push?)
- spells (I’m not aware of a quick spell I can fire off when a caster starts to cast that will interrupt)

What do?

[Skarne]

More hits/Close to target as possible = more chance to interrupt spells, but this is not as effective as it used to be.

The only thing I can think of is using the push method with a stun proc weapon, although I don’t know one for ranger.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance, I main a bard

I remember when I played my first monk.

I was like.. Uh, im helpless in this scenario?!?!

Never played a class that couldn't at least try to force an interrupt until then.

Even an outdoor knockback spell for rangers would have been nice.

Rogues, and monks, rangers and anyone else? just SOL?

I spent like 15 minuets fighting a level 18 blue healer the other night on TLP lol

I'll add a 5th option:

- clickable effects (i'll have to look into whether there are any clickies or consumables with spell interrupt effects)

If the problem is a healer, say a spectral curate, they’ll only heal them-self if they are engaged in melee. Root them and shoot bow (toggle sit between shots to recover hp/m).

If it is a serious problem you can dw stun procs as well as cast your stun proc buff. Unreliable though.

Oh cool I tried rooting while I melee'd because I knew there was something with root causing them to stop casting, but that didn't work.

What are some good stun procs to DW for ranger while Im asking?

Push was fixed (nerfed hard) a while back on P99. It is no longer a reliable method to interrupt mobs casting.

Faster attack speed would give you more chances to land hits and thus more chances to interrupt through damage.

i think stun proc weapons for ranger are fairly limited.

Ykesha proc stuff like Ykeshan War Club (9/24)
Old school Fluxbladed Axe (7/22)
Sarnack Warhammer is maybe the best bet (9/20)
Rod of Lamentation (2h: 25/36)
Veridix's Shortsword (13/24) & Veldrak's Shortblade (13/23) from VP

Sarnack Warhammer seems like far and away the most bang for your buck
the VP stuff would be neat
