Kicks and stops in m+

Imo, if you kick after a spell is stopped or kicked by someone, but your kick happened during cast time would have otherwise occurred then it should be reset.

This would drastically improve kicking without a lot of pre-planning (especially pug groups).

That would lead to everyone trying to interrupt everything including filler casts because there’s no downside. Which… yeah that would be an excellent change of pace from not bothering to kick anything at all.

So yes, want this.

Yea i cant recall the amount of whispers and trash talking i had for no interrupts cuz i couldnt push the button faster than someone else

That would actually be amazing. Make it behave like a dispel. When I cast Remove Curse on a target but someone else beat me to it, the ability doesn’t go on cooldown. Could be the same with interrupts. Or at the very least a highly reduced cooldown would be nice!

No, be better boomer fingers.

Skilled interrupters ARE slower. Let the target waste more time casting something they won’t be allowed to finish.

Forget it bro.
They will not make it easier.

They want us to coordinate everything. To not simply smash buttons.

Enjoy pugging!

I love this idea. Like dispelling nothing it’s reset .

that would make it boring.

all i’ll say is that i’d love this because my interrupt has a 45 second cd, if i’m a hare slower than 15 seconds mc interrupt man, mine gets to sit there for the rest of the pull doing nothing (And no, the silence aspect of it means nothing when they’re already stopped from using that school for longer than it’s duration in the first place :frowning: )

I’ve kicked the wrong target before that wasn’t a caster, I’d like to see it be more like if your kick fails to interrupt a cast, it’s cd is reset.

It would make it similar to dispels.

Nah , this has been a very old mechanic . Yall need to communicate on who ints first and keep tabs on it .

This is why it is the way it is. What you suggest would just dumb it down to basically not require you to communicate

Pugs will not set up a kick order for every pull in m+.

Groups who do this will not be impacted.

Seems like a non issue to make this change.

You must

Buddy these little little stuff matters that how you get know each other ,bond with other. cohesion with each . You communicate , you set roles , you set action and keep tabs via voip or macros

You just further kill the social aspect of game as you automate everything, because why bother our kicks will reset let all do it.

It seems like a pretty good change for the pug environment. Even this expac with the dungeons being the way they are most keys are still pugged I’m willing to bet. It’s probably close to 99% even.

Failing doing something like this, bring back the idea of a reward for kicking. Like a small haste or crit boost for landing a kick correctly. Heck, make it apply to only the dangerous spells, and put something to make what is actually important/dangerous in the base UI so everyone has it without a plater profile. Addons and weakauras have done the legwork for them they only need to steal the ideas at this point.

I love this idea.

I wonder if a kiss curse wouldn’t be a better way to handle it. When you interrupt an ability using one of the normal interrupts listed below then it goes on it’s full cooldown, however if you fail to interrupt anything the CD is reduced by 80%. That would still put a 3s CD on the 15s interrupts, 6s on the 40s CDs, 5s on the 25s CDs. Then that way coordinated groups have a reward for being coordinated (not being put on CD at all).

Mind Freeze (DK) 15s
Skull Bash (Druid) 15s
Quell (Evoker) 40s
Muzzle (Hunter) 15s
Counterspell (Mage) 25s
Spear Hand String (Monk) 15s
Rebuke (Paladin) 15s
Silence (Priest) 45s
Kick (Rogue) 15s
Wind Shear (Shaman) 12s
Spell Lock (Warlock) 24s
Optical Blast (Warlock) 24s
Pummel (Warrior) 15s
