<p>so it has taken me a while to actually break out my defiler and do pugs and stuff but today i noticed i was getting interrupted a lot and decided i was going to get some focus gear/adorns. </p> <p> come to find there is no focus adorns and i couldn't find any gear with focus on it. like none of my gear has any type of focus at all.</p> <p> so then i have to ask.. why not?</p> <p> is it because it does not matter? if that's the case then what was changed because it made a difference before.</p> <p> was it over looked? can we get at the very least some focus added to adorns then?</p> <p> is it some conspiracy type deal? every one get's 100% casting but in return they get interrupted form nothing?</p>

<p>Focus has been pretty worthless for a while now. It never really mattered how much focus you had, or how much damage you are getting hit for. If you get hit rapidly for 1 damage by multiple enemies you are more likely to be interrupted by that than by a really tough enemy hitting you for a 1/4 of your health. Also, with the advent of AoEs in raids that straight up interrupt and bypass focus, it really seems to be useless as a skill.</p><p>Casting skills in general don't really seem to do anything. I have nearly 700 disruption and as long as the enemy is orange and with no debuffs, I will get resisted pretty often. Maybe I land a spell 1% more often or something, but going from around 500 to 700 didn't really seem to do much.</p>

Going much past 600 doesn't seem to help much. However for focus, it never seemed to do much of anything.</p>
