How about this one? I was in unrest trying to retrieve my corpse. Well I
ran in a barbed bone (probably the one that killed me originally, heh) along
with his pal a ghoul. I couldnt see the way out because I had no light
source and was stunned and spun around. I had no hope of running so I just
hit gate and prayed (not much chance of gating out while being hit on due to
the long casting time). The first time it was interrupted but the second
time I continued casting after being hit twice or three times for a total of
over 50 damage by the skeleton and ghoul. To my level 20 character the
skeleton conned red (around level 25). This is the most extreme and lucky
example I have seen of continuing casting, and my dexterity is only 74. My
wisdom is 93, so I would tend to think that wisdom has more of a bearing
that dexterity, although I have seen more people attribute continuing to
dex, so I am not sure.
One thing is for sure, I didnt continue much against ANYTING including blues
until about level 12 or 15. This makes me thing that your channeling skill
has some bearing on this as well. At level 21 now I do get interrupted
quite a lot, but I also continue a lot. If this trend continues, I figure
at higher levels you will continue more often than you get interrupted.
Any wizards out there with high dex (gnomes start with 85 dex I believe)
care to comment on this?
