I don't see any hits on you for more than 30-40 points or so, @Balec Fares deCani. This is likely in line with the new calculations that take max hit points into account when figuring interruption chance. Are you experiencing this when fighting mobs that hit harder?

Edit: Here's what @Chris said about it:

Chris said: ↑

When damage is applied to a player, they completely ignore hits up to 1/100th of their max health PLUS 1/10th their concentration skill. So if you have 250 health and 65 concentration skill, any hit that does less than 250/100 + 65/10 = 9 points is completely ignored. This works by effectively subtracting that 9 points from the damage for the purpose of interrupting.

So in the above example, if you were hit from 7 points, 7-9 = -2 effective damage for interrupting and nothing happens. If you got hit for 34 points, then the effective damage would be 34-9 = 25 damage.

So if any damage gets by your base interruption protection, your chance of getting interrupted is:

MAX( MIN( ( ( EffectiveDamage/health)* 200% ), 5%), 80%)

So, your chance to get interrupted is 5% or twice the percentage of your health you took, whichever is greater but with a max chance of 80%.

So in in the above example with a 34 point hit on someone with 65 concentration and 250 hps, 25 got by the interruption defense. 25/250 *200% = 20% interruption chance

If the same target had been hit for 150, then the math would be 150-9 = 141 effective damage, 141/250 *200% =112.8%. In this case the 80% max chance would be used. While that sounds extreme, remember that until this release, that would have been a 141% chance to be interrupted no matter what your health or skills were.

The exact math for this might change slightly but that is the current implementation. I’ll try to let people know if it changes in the future!

Again, my apologies for not clarifying the critical hit fix sooner. I'll do a better job of relating big changes before the release goes live in the future.

@margaritte, thanks! Was not aware those changes went in. Guess it's working as expected then.

There was actually a known issue with the code as a result of the recent changes that made it very difficult for anything to interrupt mid-cast. Chris is adjusting that now, and an upcoming patch should see much more predictable interrupting behaviors. Thanks for reporting.
