Throughout playing my wizard, my skills keep getting interrupted randomly even when enemies have no channeling interrupting abilities. This is horrible and has led to several deaths. Why does it keep happening and how do I stop it?

    Mobs that physically hit you can interrupt with the hits. Usually it shouldn't be a very big deal though. I don't know what level range you're in, but dying over and over again sounds like you need to adjust your play style.

    Maybe a combination of letting your hp get too low and then getting interrupted at a bad time? Either way, try to use Force of Will and Will of the Phoenix to push mobs back, and if all else fails practice kiting. If they can't hit you, they can't interrupt you.

    1. It is common for all Wizards.
    2. To reduce possibility to be interrupted by enemy use skills with short channeling time or Essential Sutra.
    3. All types of interrupts can be tested while tanking bosses (especially melee bosses).

    Last example: my character had been interrupted something like 7 times during fight with level 90 boss.

    I have screenshot of it.


    You can use hit and run strategy to reduce possibility to be interrupted by melee hits:
    1. Use spell to attack.
    2. Jump using Distant Shrink.
    3. Use spell to attack.
    4. Run from the enemy (few steps).
    5. Repeat from (1)

    Uhm, what exactly are you killing...? I rarely have issues with being interrupted between slow, stun, seal and knockback o_o

    Seal, knockback, slow, stun can't be used on bosses and some mobs.

    Above boss for me (not know, what it was for OP though) was Volcanic Ambassador.

    He/it did ranged attacks only, but had interruption ability.

    I will post screenshot today here.

    It was very interesting for me since level of the boss was more, than level of my Wizard.
    Edit:
    As you see this boss do some physical debuffs to my character and sometimes interruptes my Wizard.
    Since I tested bh69 run to tank all bosses my character has HP charm (not used during this fight).
    Here are all 12 interrupts.
