Also, if memory serves, disarming is nigh on impossible vs 2-h weapons.

And now that I think of it, maybe a slight buff for swashies would be if finesse improved their success rate vs 2-h.

Finesse already improves the success rate of disarm, and judging from what I've seen disarming is overall rather successful.

Disarming would be a factor if bash wasn't essentially the #1 melee maneuver in the entire game that beats everything but not being in straight melee.

If I recall Cazaril did very well for himself spam disarming.

If you ask me the best choice would be to leave disarm as it is but to allow weapons to be picked up even during chaos. That would be the best of both worlds.

...Of course Edoras brings up the guy who is immune to bash and has no other combat skill to use.

People were saying that disarm is not a great choice. I disagree. Cazaril is a dang good example of that. Or should I bring up Callie, who in the last log posted disarmed a barbarian 3 out of 3 times, and at least two of those 3 times he was wielding a two hander?

Disarm is great in 1v1s, can be great if you're not being focused in a group fight, and is never better than bash if your target isn't prone already. How is this an argument?

My argument isn't whether disarm is more powerful than bash. My argument is that being disarmed prevents you from getting your weapon again until the end of the fight, if you make it that far, and getting spam disarmed is totally possible. It's an extremely frustrating mechanic, and it should be changed.

The concentration requirement for control undead is ridiculous compared to the requirement for charm person.
