Literally ignoring all the vox posts about push not working, piranha ledge comment is laughable. Where does it mention push to interrupt? Could simply be it bashes or absorbs the spell damage for you since its taunting.

Plenty of folks talking about needing to bash phinny guards to interrupt.

Keep dreaming of push to interrupt npc fantasies tho

They aren't dreams, they're memories of playing on live in era on a monk that would regularly interrupt casters with my dual fists after I got the monk epic.

It was a tactic that was so well known and commonplace that they literally gave monks a knockback AA ability in Luclin that we used to reliably interrupt casters.

Gleaning useful information from peoples comments on EQ back in '99-'02 is incredibly difficult because as you've helpfully pointed out people made comments back then with sometimes little more than guesses about how things worked. The comments from people who clearly detail how something worked and having that comment corroborated by multiple people over multiple years are the comments that deserve to be considered truth above others.

There are dozens of examples of people understanding how pushing npc's was used to interrupt spells from '99 into the mid '00s and beyond. Most people didn't think or understand it being a thing because they didn't play a melee class that attacked fast enough to generate the requisite push.
