Shattered Kingdoms

I take it that is a joke concerning brawling.

no actually I have it trained just for this reason. and for anyone else who wants to learn it. its kinda fun pummeling people with fists.

I can, I think, with some great authority state that dex has nothing to do with it, given that a max dex sprite gets disarmed as many as three times a fight.

You can only carry so many weapons. L2P is a pathetic excuse for a response to a code change that is literally brain damaged in nature.

Or do you instead recommend that all characters that will face disarming NPCs while traveling or in PvE carry 10+ weapons?

Shurikens are light...so are throwing daggers. If you really want to go there.

Applying a bandaid of stupid to a gash of stupid only makes more stupid.

Look if you get disarmed you just have to end that fight and pick your weapon back up. Honestly are you making fights to be fourty rounds long? Now a duel between two swashies might be interesting, and there you would have a point. However against disarmable pve 2-3 weapons in your inventory is more than enough.

[Skills help] disarm

Syntax: disarm <victim>

The disarm skill allows a warrior to attempt to knock an opponent's weapon
out of his hands. The skill also aids in defending against opposing disarm
attempts. Recovering the weapon may be difficult in the heat of combat, but
after re-arming, the weapon's speed determines how long it will take to resume
a proper weapon stance. It's generally impossible to disarm unless you are
wielding a weapon, although there are some groups and creatures whose
bare hands count as weapons.

There are a variety of modifiers that affect the success of a disarm attempt,
including both parties skills with the weapons involved, the accuracy of those
weapons, and relative strength and dexterity. Certain types of weapons provide
additional bonuses or penalties on a disarm check. Unparryable weapons provide
a bonus to disarm attempts while two-handed weapons provide a better defense.


So yes Dexterity is a factor. And try using an unparryable weapon.

Since you're fond of L2 accronyms, I'll give you one. L2R. Unparryable doesn't provide any protection against disarm. One of the weapons I have that routinely gets disarmed with ease IS unparryable.

And depending on your class and race, fights with no weapons CAN BE forty round fights.

I'm done arguing this with you. I've seen enough empirical evidence to know that this change is blatantly brain damaged, and the work arounds that exist are just as much so.

Alright. Ill give you that I did not read the last line of that help file all the way through.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
