712 Retribution and Focused Mstrike 08/23/2018 06:06 AM CDT
When the retribution effect is Pain (711) and it hits, Focused Mstrike keeps swinging instead of stopping from RT lock. Is that supposed to happen?

I would think an instant-kill with another spell would halt it. I do not know about stuns.

I would guess that MSTRIKE ignores RT once it's started in order to prevent it's own RT from stopping the 2nd, 3rd, etc swings from happening... I'm 95% certain that if you had something that inflicted death, stuns, etc on it the MSTRIKE would have been interrupted (I seem to recall a mino warrior's MSTRIKE was brought to a halt when I had 708 chanted into the cloak and it's arm was blown off).

I've always found that 706 or 708 are the best spells to have chanted into Cloak, depending on whether there's something immune to stuns where I'm hunting. If there's a reason those aren't satisfactory in Reim, 110 or 118 would prolly get the job done.
