Disarm skill bugged

Post#1 » Fri Apr 09, 2010 2:03 pm

I think I already reported this but I can't seem to find the appropriate forum (no forum for bugged skills). Since my baby zerker has earned this skill, it's been stuck at 10 desperately despite using it over and over. I spoke with various people who experieced teh same problem.
Can this be looked into? Thank you.

I believe this was reported on emu forums as a well a while ago - no fix so far.
And.. what exactly you need disarm for???? :mrgreen:

What do you mean doing it in lava?

And to answer your question Chaos, I need disarm ,well to, err, disarm my oponents (I know I'm an odd bloke :)).
Seriously tough, I never played a melee class on live so this zerker is my first but I can only imagine that a disarmed opponent will hit me for less damage. Seeing how a zerker's survivability is the same one as the one of an Abrams M1A2 made out of wet paper, it would probably be beneficial to have this skill working.
Now of course, if it's in EQEmu's Court, there's not much you can do about it ;)

Keep up with the good work folks!

Haha. Thats the only way I have been able to raise my swimming skill. He probably was making an offhand joke about that.

Disarm was a skill of EARLY - like 1999-2000 skill of choice for PvP, which was RARELY used vs mobs.

What disarm does it removes the weapon wielded from enemy hands and places it in their inventory.

For PvP - it often means that your opponent OFTEN won't notice than his weapon is gone, and his damage will go down by 90%.
For mob.. it means almost nothing, as mob damage is personal and not weapon based. There are few UNIQUE cases, when a mob would have a weapon on its loot table, which would have a nasty proc, and so disarming him, would prevent the proc from going off.

On THF, as you understand, personal power of the mob FAR outweighs any weapon with any proc they can possibly have for loot, with very rare exceptions perhaps.

On LIVE this skill have stopped being relevant years ago.

Thank you for your explanation Chaos.
Seeing that I don't PvP (if I want to I log on CODWAW), that this skill isn't as usefull as I thought and that the problem is one on EQEmu side, a fix, although appreciated, can go (from my point of view) at the very bottom of the to-do list (or even lower). I'll just remove that button from my hotkeys (damn I didn't think melees would need so many hotkeys, that's mad!).

It would be nice to disarm vulak and his stupid axe of insanely annoying swarm pets sometimes. :-)

Right now I toss a damage shield on and watch the pets mass die on the DS while I beat down Vulak. The fight does give a ton of exp tho from the mass quantities of swarm pets dying. :-P Lots of pet spam during the fight as well. Always fun when that first hit comes along with a pet and you know it is going to be one of those fights.

Isn't Disarm also a form of taunt, much like begging?
