I have searched the forums for more information on the subject but have yet to come across any. (maybe I'm just blind) I was wondering if anyone can tell me first of all, why is there the existence of interruption of channeling when one has not been stunned, and how does one make themselves less susceptible to this happening. I ask because I am a lowly cleric that can't aoe farm because of these seemingly random occurrences. This doesn't seem to be logical when I am fighting magic based attacks. Does this symbolize fear in a character?... It makes no sense at all. I am 100% up for your channel to be cut when your stunned but when this is not the case AND is happening several times every second against more than one enemy.(And happens more than often enough against solo enemies at awful times to cause possible death) Any information on this would be incredible or just stop by and share your thoughts. Thanks again guys.

    any channeling can be cancled by a spell or physical hit
    even as a barb who has a 0.2 second channel on most spells i use, i have been interrupted doing alacrity or flesh ream, it happens sometimes, if a mob is poisoning no chance of it

    If magic was real, I would most likely be interrupted when being kicked by trees or fried by giant bunnies. It would make sense to have interruption problems I guess but yea it's annoying but makes it more interesting.

    idk, sometimes melee hits cancel mages, it happens more often than not on clerics and wizards because theyre more opt to get hit

    I wouldnt call it interesting if the cleric who was healing you as you was tanking kept getting interruptions from an AoE boss, It happens often to me, at times i just have a massive line of interrupted messages going up my screen and ive often died by it or a tank has died because purify got interrupted.

    It happened to me too... I assumed that as a quite high level veno, I could go in a bundle of mobs 30 level under mine, saying some bad things about their mothers, and then laugh with my bramble Hood on and throwing some noxorious gas....


    But the 10 of them never allowed me to channel, and I got that list of interruptions, a quick run away and some % missing in my proundess pool.
