    Nikkariaoe and Spell Interruption Rate down

    I'm about to be able to use this katana and was wondering if it was worth getting. I've never played any mage job or anything so I'm not even exactly sure how the spell interruption rate down works. Does the -25% on this katana mean the window you can be interrupted in is reduced by 25%? Or does it mean if you get hit in the window there's a one in four chance nothing will happen? I know how to time my utsu casts so that I can cast in the middle of a fight, but sometime lag or itchy trigger fingers get me casting at the wrong time and it takes a couple tries to get it back up if I don't have someone to voke off of me.
    Looking for some opinions, let me know what you think.

      Pass on it Caspian. I used it for about 3 levels straight and never had one Utsusemi not get interrupted.

        With Warlock's Tabard and Aquaveil I have -35% spell interruption and DCs still interrupt my Stoneskin annoyingly often. Against ITs that are much better at interrupting you, I guess the effect becomes negligable.

          Yeah, it's probably 25% interrupt down on an Even Match. Up the level of the mob to 5+ levels above you and you're probably looking @ more like -1% interrupt down.

            I'm currently using one and I think it's somewhat noticable. Alright, so you know how there's a point towards the end of casting where the spell is actually "Complete," right? Like if you get hit at that point, The spell is too far in to interrupt. But in the case of Utsusemi, you don't get hit because the spell has alerady triggered. Thus, only a shadow is taken. There have been a handful of times (mostly on WAR when subbing nin) that I get hit right as I'm finishing casting and still get new shadows up. Often times, I get hit right when I was about to finish and I get the message about being interrupted. But on these times that I get hit yet still get spell up, I put it down to just getting hit at the exact right moment.

            Ya ya bla bla bla Monday night (first time exping with it -- I caught about 2-3 vokes from the other melee that night so I'd consider this solo tanking) I ran into this scenario quite a bit. At the time I put it down to luck that I'd get hit at that .1 second window multiple times. It wasn't until I saw this thread that I realized that it could've been that katana kicking in. Perhaps when I get hit in those situations, it's really just that I didn't get interrupted, simple as that. And as everyone knows that's spent time blink tanking, Ichi loves to get interrupted right before it completes, since that's where the timing typically falls short.

              Yeah, I think its considered non-interruptable at 80%. Also noticed that I can start casting and get hit in the 10-20% range and it won't interrupt me either. May just be lag, but I've seen a double hit as far in as 40% and it still goes off w/o a hitch.
              I didn't really want to buy the thing (its 800k right now iirc) and only use it until 32 when my next dmg upgrade hits and the difference will be so noticable, but thought there might be the off chance that its God's gift to pre utsu:ni ninjas. Glad I don't have to farm up an extra million.

              This has sparked my interest in how the -spell interruption works. May have to go over to the BLM forums and pose the question there.

                i think with that katana it came out to be 1 time out of 25+ mobs that it hit me, but i still casted a spell. its just another weapon with stats that mean absolutely nothing. kinda like my stun katanas, only really mater if its a mob evan match or lower. as i can go thru 2-3 atk cycles before it wears off. on tough or higher. its between 0-1 atk cycles.

                  Casting time to avoid interruption is within the first 20% or within the last 80%. So, if you're casting Utsusemi and you get hit between 0%-20% casting time, it won't be interrupted. Same goes for being hit between 80%-100%. Anything in-between will be interrupted. There is a small chance that you won't be, but it's so low it's barely noticable.

                    Re: Nikkariaoe and Spell Interruption Rate down

                    That was what I was talking about. With Utsusemi, once you've hit that 80% margin, you have shadows and thus, 1 of your shadows absorbs the damage and disappears. So in my scenario where it's about to complete but you get hit, that would be an example of not getting interrupted. Nikkablabla made that happen quite a bit... maybe.

                      I used it together with the -interupt mantle for a while. I got some spells through while being hit here and there, not often enough to be happy about tho i think :O

                        honestly once you understand how to remove your shadows while applying another utes. spell interuption rate does not matter. because your either gonna get a ni shadow stripped, or your casting ichi spell will get stripped of one. then again thats for after 37.

                        before 37 i basically found a pattern to most mobs atk. a exact timer when i could get off ichi in most cases. sadly the katana didnt help matters much if i lagged or got caught casting something else.

                        my op is to keep the gil for powders in the future. stick with the +1 katanas,

                          You still have to be smart about casting. If you find yourself without shadows start casting right before you get hit and you'll be fine. Don't pretend that -25% interruption rate is there to save your butt 100% of the time. Only 25% :-D

                            my buddy is using this katana to lvl up his nin sub for bst. he says even if he is 79% an he gets hit, he still gets interupted, also, he says if he is within 1 tic of 25ish. he still gets inturputed almost all the time.

                            he also has said. save your money, this thing is a piece of crap.. i cant argue with him on that one.

                              I experimented with this a while back whilst wearing full Yasha and I was monumentally unimpressed with the results. I'd never consider buying it but if one does happen to fall into your lap try it out and form your own opinions.
