Pillars of Eternity Director's Commentary Streams with Josh Sawyer

[Prime Junta]

A higher camera angle would help also.

PoE actually has "special Interrupt abilities" already: http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Thrust_of_Tattered_Veils

But players evidently haven't found them to be useful enough for them to become a thing.

 

[Prime Junta]

It doesn't work reliably enough to be worth using. I've tried.

 

[Excidium II]

Does it even have a higher interrupt chance?

 

[Infinitron]

Does it even have a higher interrupt chance?

Only duration I think, but the idea I suppose is that you'd build a character with high Interrupt chance from attributes etc, and then use spells like that.

 

[Excidium II]

Well I mean it's not like it's a big duration boost, at most it's 1 second. At that rate you might as well cast magic missiles and get less interrupt time but at least kill the fucker faster.

 

[Prime Junta]

Exactly. Also spending a spell to interrupt isn't worth it if the interruptee won't lose the spell he's casting too. As it is, it's a net loss even if you succeed.

 

[Tigranes]

Exactly. Also, AFAIK, bonuses to interrupt chance weren't being counted properly early in patch life. Might have been fixed later, but maybe the numbers don't make a noticeable difference anyway?

The only character type that could rely on interrupts, I think, was a super-fast-hitting dual-wielding rogue. But then, usually, that just means your enemy is interrupted by being dead.

Super fast-hitting dual-wielding barb is even better. Carnage, baby.

 

[Atchodas]

You can set auto-pause "enemy starts casting" then use your blast interrupter wizard , works better than any melee build for sure

When building mage blast builds with heavy cc are my favorite and require least micro and resting

Shame I can't watch twitch right now. "ZyklonBen_1488"

 

[Sentinel]

Why did I even tune in?
As soon as I do there's some faggot asking about making a protag a transgendered character. Got immediately triggered.

 

[Sentinel]

Is KrogSeven Roguey screaming senpai please notice me?

 

[Infinitron]

lol which one of you was that?

 

[Fairfax]

Did Roguey interact with Sawyer?

 

[Infinitron]

Roguey never participates in these live chats, sadly.

The PR flack sitting there playing Pillars is pointless. Just call it "Sawyer's Question Corner" and make it a monthly feature so we can bask in his facial hair.
