Because only we are held to the standard of having to produce proof to get things changed. The Devs can make anything non-classic if they want for any garbage reason and we can't do a damn thing.

My opinion on Push as of June 2002, apparently (been doing some ezboard searches for fun):

Myth #1: Push doesn't do jack. It's the 40 people hitting the mob that interrupts its casting. I've seen mobs backed into corners, and still get interrupted just as often as mobs who are pushed.

For that matter, Sarthis was duoing in the arena in Kael with a knockback stave last year, knocked an adjudant clear across the arena and back, and it still got CH off.

Aren't giants unstunnable? So the effect shouldn't have even landed to begin with?

Pretty sure it was a Chetari Wardstaff, that's just a plain knockback.

If he pushed it back to it's original spot or near it would've made it easier for it to channel that CH. Sounds like a plausible explanation considering the wording of "clear across the arena and back".

I remember this actually, he pushed that mob around and around, I really doubt he managed to get it back to the same place it started from.

Thankfully there are endless posts like this one:

vox strategy

Where they explain pretty clearly that you could push npc's to reliably interrupt their spells.

Or any of these:

"With its short attack delay, this happens pretty often. This makes it great for attacking spellcasting mobs, as this can interrupt the spell."

"A piranha as a pet is a lethal weapon, and can easily distract and interrupt the Golden Haired Mermaid as she attempts to cast spells."

These are just some that I could find from a short search in era. I found a ton more from out of era in 2002 and 2003. Which makes a lot of sense as by that time people had learned more about the game and the 'why's' of certain things happening like spell interrupts.
