Description

You have trained in techniques for disarming your foes, and have learned how to position yourself to apply these principles while blocking your foe's attacks.

Mechanics

This is a Martial Stance. When you successfully block a melee weapon attack while in a forward or greater stance, you have a chance to attempt to knock the weapon from the attacker's grasp. The chance to react is 30%/ 50%/ 70% at Ranks 1/ 2/ 3. The disarm attempt takes 2 seconds of RT and are limited to one every (6 - Rank) seconds.

Rank 1: 30% chance to attempt disarm, one attempt per 5 seconds
Rank 2: 50% chance to attempt disarm, one attempt per 4 seconds
Rank 3: 70% chance to attempt disarm, one attempt per 3 seconds
