What decides a pet's chance to interrupt? Is it purely level based? If so, what is the formula for deciding a pet/mob's chance to interrupt its target?

I ask this question because I've noticed that while my pet is typically ignored in RvR as a non-threat, it does seem to have better luck interrupting archers and healers, as opposed to DD casters. For example, I had a fight with an Enchanter in which my wolf was complete ignored by the Chanter, who cast through the wolf's attacks as if they were nothing. I only won because of Sure Shot, an ability I have a growing respect for. If my pet can interrupt at all, it must be a very low percentage, but how do I know what this percentage is?

depends on lvl/color

grey =easy to cast through
green = bit harder but easy still
blue = almost same as green as far as ive seen
yellow = decent interrupter and hardly ever to cast through

but yes pets a crap on uth unless a caster pet

Like one year ago pets were always interrupting, it was changed at some point but i still don't understand why. Now low level pets are just demezz bots for enemies.
I am assuming direct control.

Interrupt was implemented wrong some time ago so it was changed to be more live like for all mobs/pets/players. Additionally the level con formula has been changed to be live like recently.

There were no interrupt tests on different levels yet. But I can confirm that casting through green attacking pets should be no big problem. Nonetheless if multiple green pets attack the chances to interrupt stack up.
It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.
Every bug gets fixed. Sooner or later.

Pala says, "i am disabled. and i have a mechanic left hand that can be programed. its hard to play woith one hand"

Thanks for explaining this, Blue. So you understand what this means for my "interrupt tool" ability as a Hunter?
