Disarm Weapon is a combat maneuver available to all professions. Warriors can also learn this maneuver through the warrior guild, and are more potent at using it when they have mastered it in the guild compared to having rank 5 of it through CMAN training.

Using this maneuver will attempt to knock a target's weapon to the ground. It also provides defense against being disarmed, which is the main reason many professions choose to train in this skill.

Using Disarm Weapon against a bard's Sonic Weapon will result in having an additional 3 seconds of roundtime added to the maneuver's base roundtime of 5. Sonic Weapons are immune to disarm.

Creatures that use this maneuver

Success formula

Disarm success is calculated similarly to other CMANs, including level difference, encumbrance, attacker's and defender's disarm ranks and combat maneuvers training. For the defender, each rank in disarm is worth 15 points of defense (Confirmed only for rank 3 to rank 4).

Roundtime

On a successful disarm, the target receives roundtime based on the endroll. The exact formula is not known, but the following data points have been observed:

Endroll Roundtime (seconds)
101 5
106 5
118 5
120 5
124 6
134 8
139 9
152 13
162 15
181 20

The maximum roundtime from a disarm appears to be 20 seconds.
