If its called Disarming shot shouldn't it disarm the weapon from the holder?

I mean if you gonna name moves and give tehm as specials then They should do what they are called.......

Just a Thought

Call me crazy but i thought thats what names were for....

It supposedly damages the weapon, but its borked and doesn't. They are proposing changing this in the near future though.

/agree

When I found out it just does weapon damage, I thought "well thats not what its called". It should do some weapon damage, because you are hitting the weapon. But it needs to unequip the weapon as well. Not sure, I could be wrong, but this should be able to be coded.

/disarmshot should do some weapon damage AND unequip the weapon.

It's not like it's a major big deal to re equip it. Most people, if they do a lot of combot, have the weapons hot keyed. So you just hit your weapon hotkey, it equips it, and you have to start your shooting timer all over again. That puts some delay on your opponent shooting back at you, and thus makes this special useful.

What do you all think?

personally, I prefer the intimidate idea. Slow them down and reduce their damage (the intimidate effect.) If a rifleman gets a 3 sec speed cap and we can slow him down to 4 or 4.5 that turns out to be a pretty big deal.

OK well I just read Q's post on it and it just says they will change it so it ONLY does damage to the weapon. Umm, they why would I ever use this skill? It won't help me in that battle, and thus isn't something I going to use. Oh boy, I knocked some "condition" off their weapon, woohoo. To bad, I still go incapped, because I'm using a special that doesn't help ME right now. They come over, DB me, and I never see them again, but man, I sure made their weapon last a little less as long.

Come on Devs, make /disarmingshot unequip the weapon.

Unequiping the weapon won't do much for you. A long term state effect will.
