I like to imagine how much people’s perception would change if they found their interrupt and stun buttons. The fact of the matter (especially in pugging) is that these folks just do not hit interrupt. If you’re hitting less than 20 interrupts per run, you are absolutely the problem. It’s that simple.
Interrupt was always important when doing content appropriate for you gear level – a missed interrupt chunks you at least 70% HP. Now that there’s more rot damage; which exists because of all the healer complaints (‘nothing to heal ever’, ‘I shouldn’t have to dps’, etc) it creates huge overlaps where rot damage probably happens during a missed interrupt and it just creates deaths on GCD.
This season really and truly isn’t even that difficult when you compare it to past seasons. Pugging is just more frustrating overall because you can’t hard carry bad players as much anymore.
