In regards to Improved Concentration Aura and Talisman of the Breaker and their effect on interrupts:

I just tested this several times, and interrupt duration was acting very odd.

To summarize the logs and whatnot: Baseline counterspell was about an 8.4 or so time from "soandso interrupts" to "You cast holy shock" in my logs. Counterspell with imp. conc aura 3/3 was about a 7 second time. Counterspell with Talisman of the breaker but NO imp conc aura was about 7. Counterspell with both talisman and aura ranged between 5.563 to 5.937 seconds.

I was using the default /combatlog option for this, since it records to thousandths of a second. I can post my logs if people want, but otherwise I'd encourage those with neck to check if they're getting similar behavior.

My methedology was simply have the mage counterspell holy light, then when the grey out was nearing completion, spam click holy shock with myself targetted (the log does not register things like school locks wearing off).

Sadly the mage in question didn't have improved counterspell, so I can't speak to silence durations, though I'd imagine they have similar behavior.

My THEORY about the durations is that the necklace is working at the 20% it says it should, but conc aura is only working at a 15% value, however they stack. I arrive at those numbers mainly from the 5.563 figure - that's GREATER than a 30% reduction on interrupt - using 8.4 as my baseline delay, it's approximately a 35% reduction on the 8s lock timer.
