Disarm Skill - Useful, but is it worth the trouble?

[Dantes]

falkun has a good point. It doesn't hurt to use it. Practice while hunting guards, you'll get lots of skillups, most guards have weapons and shields you can disarm.

Rais - that all sounds good in theory but I'd love to see logs that prove it. I've disarmed plenty of mobs, fought mobs with and without weapons and it really seems to make no difference for me. Any non-pet NPC seems to have the ability to hit for the same damage and the same amount of times no matter what weapon they have (unless it has a proc). The way you have explained it sounds like how it should work, and I hope it does... but I'll believe it when I see it.

Same goes for aggro generation. It may generate aggro, it may not. The skill didn't even work at all a few months ago. So I'm hesitant to assume it works. But again, can't hurt to use it.
