Does reflect flinch?

Long time ago while farming Imiticia we had a tank in the party. This tank even while stunned prevented Imiticia from casting a magic attack while he stood right beside her.

I have been trying to figure out how it was done for my own tank build. Would reflect cause magic attacks to be "flinched" even if your char is stuned or sleeping?

Many thanks, happy hunting ^^/

 

but reflect triggers when you get hit, so you can't reflect damage from an attack that hasn't been casted yet.
if he didn't activate any placed skills (like sleep trap) before getting stunned, the is no legal way to do this.

 

Thanks for the response

 

1. other person did
2. some internet lag
3. i dont know

 

monsters will stop with their current attacks or aoes if the aggro switches. couple that with lag and you get a teleporting boss with moving aoe circles.

 

Hmmm I can't recall if imitacia stuns. But I'm pretty sure she does use sleep. What is the tank weapon? If it's a mage tank. What you saw maybe is the stop from magic Lances. Stop rate is very good and it will attempt to stop target 3x for 10secs maybe after it's cast. Iam planning to test that skill for my 1H shield too when I got sp coz I know how good the rate and the duration of the stop on my full support character

 

My mistake it was sleep. I don't think it was magic lances as I didn't see the animation of it being cast. The tank was using knuckles and was asleep at the time. Whenever Imiticia started an aoe attack where the red floor was visible for a second even while the tank slept she got interrupted as long as she stood beside the tank.

 

I think the number of lances increase if you increase its skill lv... (at lv 10 I think it's around 5 lances??)

 

There's that little delay between all devices in a pt, i've tested it with friends where i would interrupt all of the boss' skills but other pt members still gets hit with boss' skills... Or when i cast warcry to remove fear, but pt members gets feared a bit late and contracts fear just after warcry is casted (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

3 lances, 4 with MD
and attacks with ailments don't flinch spell casting

 

Can you even magic flinch bosses?

 

If u mean flinching boss with magic skill Yeah javelin from non element staff/MD flinch any boss, any mode more reliable than my tank's hard hit

 

it's about the "cast a spell, get hit and be flinched" mechanic that applies to players.
i doubt it applies to monsters as well, since their attack mechanic is very different from ours.
but some of their attacks can be cancelled by knockback

 

There comes Magic:wall and Knight skill's dash thingy

 

Now that i think of it more... maybe the tank used magic javelin with knuchs that had dark elem? Could bosses even get fear? If they could how long would they have it? What is the casting cooldown?
Many thanks

 

What us the attack cancel rate of knockback? Is it worth investing sp on?

 

Using Javelin with dark ele can cause boss to fear..... I tried on Minotaurus and it got fear status

 

Some Boss attacks gets canceled 100% when knockbacked.

Haven't really been paying attention on boss fights though to know what those attacks are. I rarely use knockback too as I have bad experiences with those back in the day(party mates kicking boss making me die from AoEs)

 

That's the reason I'm considering knockback not just to cancel attacks.. but because of the possible funny outcome if it failed.

 

player centered red zones aren't canceled.
boss centered red zones are pushed back along with the boss.
some attacks are player centered but require the boss to stand close, because they have short range. those can be cancelled with knockback.
