Yes, I tried offsetting my timing as well (provided by the
nice "you have missed a note..." failures that happened three
times in a row). It didn't make a difference - I still didn't
interrupt a single casting lizard.

If they really made it tougher to interrupt casters, I despise
this change, and not because it weakens one of our abilities.
Casting classes already had it easy enough versus melee
classes. This just makes it even easier for casters (who can
kill casting mobs quicker and thus don't have to withstand as
many spells). I'm really starting to feel like a second rate
citizen as a melee class.
