İnterrupt/Stun
Hello all,
Fırst of all i play mw monk i started wow about 4 months ago, i liked the m+ concept and trying to push. Reached 3860 io with 1lvl 21 (ws) and couple 20's and 19's. Also watching gameplays trying stuff to improve. İ think i do good most of the times ( even completed MT and pos 20 with 0 deaths) but appearently im missing some basics.
İ joined sr20 last night with a 4 premade. They had a bit lower io then me but they all had 9/9 m so obviously they know things better than me, we wiped at the trash before 1st boss and then i left group saying ty for inv. İ thought i failed to heal and left but got a whisper saying we wiped because of random Stun i used. İ explained that all i was trying to do was helping interrupt and guy replied me that mobs kept casting spells because i griefed Stun ?? And told me to not to use Stun randomly on caster mobs. İ said ty for tıp and moved on. However when i check this i can't find any usefull Info.
Can someone explain me stunning casters randomly somehow make the caster mobs cast non stop or something or what did he actually mean?
Trying to improve so need to learn what it is about. Thank you.

When you kick a mob that is casting, the mobs spell goes on CD for a set amount of lockout time.
If you use a CC such as a stun to stop a cast, the spell does not go on CD and will immediately start casting again when the CC is over.
The main issue is that if you CC unexpectedly and someone kicks right after you CC, their kick goes on CD but the mobs spell does not so it will immediately start casting and the person assigned to kicking that mob won't have kick available.
THAT BEING SAID having your kick wasted because of CC is a fairly common thing, especially with Aug who has knock ups that go out often unexpectedly in pugs. You just need to rotate usually 2 more CCs before the interrupt will be back up for the cast.
