Scrapper/Stalker Sniper

How fast do the snipes become when insta cast?  How much of their time is the interrupt window?

[Captain Powerhouse]

Final speed varies from power to power, but Scrapper/Stalker epic snipes have a 3 second interrupt window.

 

Zapp and Moonbeam are 1.33 fast, 5.33 slow.

Mace Beam is 2 seconds in fast, 6 seconds in slow.

So, there's a 4s difference of which 3s is interruptible and can be reduced with enhancements?

[Captain Powerhouse]

Interrupt Enhancements are weird, they dont actually shorten that window, instead, they shorten the time within that window where you can actually be interrupted.

 

If you get 100% interrupt reduction into one of these, it will still have a 3 second interrupt window, but you would be able to start moving after 1.5 seconds have gone by. Interrupt reduction just reduces how long you need to stand perfectly still, and not be attacked. This can open interesting tactics. Like, for example, in PvP you could get close enough to start the snipe, and as soon as you are 1.5 seconds in (assuming you managed to half the interrupt window) you could move even further away and your shot would still be fired.

Oh, so that's why Recall Friend always seems so tediously slow. Good to know. At one point I'd slotted a more than healthy amount of reduce interrupt IOs and though I was going crazy.
