    Spells Interrupted through Stoneskin

    Has anyone else had their spell casts interrupted while Stoneskin is up? This has been happening to me fairly often recently. It's not a matter of Stoneskin wearing off. I'll get hit and SS will still be up, but my casting stops. It doesn't seem right that a hit that doesn't damage me can interrupt. Is this working as intended?

    Uhm I get interrupted a lot while casting longer spells mid battle, I can't say it has to do with or without stoneskin. I just hate when people say "there is no interrupt in this game" then I get hit by a mob and it does the little cancel spell animation. I've had a cure/sac interrupted before, which is sad cause its a small casting time. I'd like gear or something to help us with interruption since it does exist and is obviously a game mechanic and not a glitch.

    I get interrupted occasionally, for sure. But my question was whether or not this should be happening while Stoneskin is active. If I'm not receiving any damage, why would I stop casting?

    Paralyze does no damage, but it is insanely interuptive, it is one of several ways you can be interupted.

    I'm fairly certain it's not due to paralysis, though I will check next time just to be sure. I'll take a screenshot if I can, though interruptions don't show up in the battle log, if I recall correctly.

    OP is right. Spells are interrupted by being hit while Stoneskin is up. This should not be the case. If receiving 0 damage won't wake me up while I'm asleep, then receiving 0 damage should not interrupt either.

    Consistency.

    This is the best way to put it. It should indeed be consistant, I couldn't agree more.

    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Visual proof of this is nigh impossible to produce, but it does happen.
