Why does Clemency get interrupted? And why does Sword/Shield Oath reset combo?

[Argyle_Darkheart]

They interrupt combos because the default setting is for GCDs abilities to do so. They didn't think to exempt Oaths, Clemency, etc. from this because they didn't think it would matter. It obviously does matter and something should be done (I think Shield Bash is a far worse offender, from a design perspective, but it may not be as relevant). They did exempt Flash and (old) Shield Swipe from interrupting combos, however, because they knew it would be a problem if they didn't.

It's just arbitrary; there's no rule. They exempt certain GCD abilities from interrupting combos because they think it will play better.
