Constant interrupts or Skills that specifically interrupt?

[Copestetic]

Title pretty much sums up my question for the PvP community. I'm wondering what people think about having skills that specifically interrupts a spell/skill with a cast time versus interrupting a caster with every skill.

Personally, I'm for it ( obviously ) as it's what I'm use to in other MMO's namely, Guild Wars 1. Every class there had skills to interrupt a Monk ( Healer ) or other priority target. Even some that interrupted melee classes.

I'd really like this not to turn into another "Healer OP" thread as I'm sure it's the first thing to come to mind to people who routinely try to 1v1 an average skilled WHM or SCH. I personally think this would promote a little more "skill" within PvP instead of spamming 1234567890.

Any thoughts?

There are already enough buttons in this game, we don't need any more.

Healers arn't OP vs people who have a vague knowledge of what they are doing, but this would probably tip that balance drastically if healers can free cast more than they already do

Get surecast, swiftcast and upgrade equanimity, dont use them all at the same time and keep regen on everyone, just get used to playing WHM in frontlines and eventually you will rarely care about being interupted vs the majority of players

I don't personally have an issue with getting interrupted, and when I do it's because I have 4-5 people focusing me with EQ on CD. I don't want people to assume that I'm 'crying' about interrupts; I'm not. I'm just wanting to see if there's people here that'd think it would be more rewarding to actively interrupt crucial skills, instead of just spamming anything and everything to keep that WHM locked down, or that BLM from casting Sleep. Judging from the responses ( or lack thereof ), I'm guessing it's not, which kind of sucks.

1) WHM get constantly interupted and if you can't get away just stop trying.

2) You can easily get away from a chasing WHM but NOT a chasing SCH. That's not fair.

Wait, I thought scholars couldn't inflict heavy in pvp? White mages can.

sounds like a bad idea only because the cd's on spells that are designed for interrupting such as silence are dreadfully long. if SE redesigned the whole thing where only silence could interrupt casts, they would have to put it on a shorter cd and to be perfectly honest knowing what i know about the FFXIV community, it would just be too hard for the most the players here to manage. i have played other mmos where this was the case where only interrupt spells could interrupt casts, but at the same time, they were mmos with more advanced players than in FFXIV pvp community. i see here how people complain about simple rudimentary crap. having only one spell to interrupt would rain bloody tears we'd never hear the end of.

SCHs cant. SE took that away from us in the first PVP patch. they nerfed Miasma that inflicted heavy after players cried waterfalls over it. Yet, they never touched WHMs heavy from Stone.

So why does recaldy think that you can get away from a WHM but not a SCH? :/
