The problem isn't your usual rr40 mdps but the outliers that make the 50% mechanic unfun to play against. High rr healers can get such high disrupt rates that I just can't attack them properly on my casters. There simply is no fight in these cases because i get disrupted left and right and the few dots that stick get cleansed. I would advise checking it out for yourself and reporting back if you still think that this mechanic works as intended.

Imo its a lazy band aid fix to a short time to kill problem that is mainly caused by heavy aoe spamming blobs and a few overperforming single target burst specs like magus/wl/squig pets and dps AM/shaman.

Yes another issue is the huge gap of added disrupt by willpower ; you can hit anyone easily because everyone is somehow capped to 20-25% disrupt, even tanks saving some class tactics/skills to get to about 40% at best.
Then any healer got +30% disrupt solely from maxed out willpower, THEN the added +25% from gear and renown.

While Dodge chances are relatively stable amongst all archetypes because few classes got to reach over 400, saving maybe WH/WE from higher base Init+gear.

A simple fix could be halving the added %disrupt by Willpower, like +15% / 1k (instead of +30% / 1k), which would get healers a bit harder to hit but not that hard because it will be naturally cap around 40%, not 55-60% as it is now, for an effective disrupt chances around 25%, instead of 40%.

Is it really 30% disrupt for 1k willpower? I havent touched my healer for too long so i wouldnt know but this seems excessive. Why should willpower give more disrupt chance than intelligence gives strikethrough? They should be exactly 1 to 1.

So your defensive roll is made separately for each both defensive skills (block/parry, block/dodge and block and disrupt). Thats one of the reason why I think block is oddly strong stat atm. With the current system it got even stronger than before. That combine with the thing that mainstats only give half the value for block striket hrough, and I seen no gear with such stat.

Why giving more striketrough to range when you already are at range safety have strong kite mechanics and you dont have to aim in this game, and you are backed by the frontline who are perma snaring everyone and the backline which is other infinite range free casting.

Have you ever played a healer?

Just a thought.
