In case anyone is wondering about the enhance Aquaveil in a bit more detail, I took about 3 hours out and did work as BLM/rdm.
The enhance Aquaveil appears to effect so that it will not wear off as quickly.
To put a number on it, I did about 50 get-hit-casts with rope+aquaveil, and then 50 get-hitcasts with aquaveil only. I chose Even Match - Tough monsters. I chose a spell category I had low skill in; Healing using Cure3, to ensure interrupt probability. The rope seems to add 4~5times the effectiveness of Aquaveil.
Also did work to verify when the effect takes place, and it appears to take place when the spell completes.
Cant say that's how the Rope works, but those were my personal findings for anyone who wanted a little more info.
Definitely a piece for Spell Interrupt sets, a great asset for RDMs who solo or tank, if there is a way to do so anymore. Pretty much an awesome piece for Ninjutsu recast if you get off, and a must-have for buffing.
Correction to Holyman's comment: 102% in gear/merits is required to reduce your chance of interruption to 0, not 110%.
Regardless of one's opinion on the Aquaveil adjustment, it will be interesting to see what exactly this piece does. Personally I'm hoping to drop a -interrupt merit with the addition of this piece.
Enhances Aquaveil raises the chance that Aquaveil won't wear off when getting hit during the cast of a spell.
I've taken 17 hits against an IT chigoe in attowha casting reraise on myself before aquaveil wore off, using this while initially casting it on myself, I didn't have it on during the actual cast.
3 times ? i have seen it last for 5 or more hits . the amount of damage and skill level rating of the spell being cast seems to affect interruption and effect IMHO .
Actually, with the right gear sets and macros, which should be used by any skilled player to begin with, Aquaveil was in fact 100% protection against interrupts.
Now, on the other hand, it turned completely useless. If not for Manawall, I wouldn't even be able to sleep hordes of mobs without being instantly interrupted anymore.
@Garota You mean buffed ??
Aquaveil used to be the most useless spell ever , unlesss you stack gear/merit spell interruption down & use the spell , it wouldn't prevent interruption , NOW it's waaaay more good.
You need 110% spell interruption down "including Aquaveil" pre-update to work against VT~IT , now with only the spell you can get it to work against anything.
