I was dueling a friend last night trying to practice and figure out better key maps when I used a move I don't normally or hardly ever use in PVP. Melee2harea3 IOI I think it's the one that comes with Master Offense. The description says that it will blind and change the posture of multiple attackers. Well I've never blinded anything the entire time I've played this game, but last night I hit my friend with dizzy and posture change with the same move Melee2harea3 and he got knocked down and couldn't get back up for 15 or 20 seconds..

I don't have Master Heavy Sword yet, and I thought that was our "ONLY" dizzy attack. 2 hand hit 3.

Has anyone else come across this?

Heavy Sword 4-4-3(1/2)-3(3/4) heh heh so close to Master I can taste it.

Yes that was a change put in a little while back that they never updated the character sheet with.

Area Attack 3 does posture change and dizzy, not blind as written.

Also Two Hand Hit 3 does dizzy, which I think is also undocumented.

Even with the posture change 'nerf' Area Attack 3 is a devestating attack up close against multiple opponents. I personally incapped 5 people at oncein Theed on Sunday in the clone center that got too close to me using that move alone.

The dizzy component of 2h area attack i seems far too random, not to say painfully rare, though. I've been using the attack exclusively since i got it, when i get more than 1 enemy, and the only time i dizzed something was during a friendly duel with a friend of mine.

Mind you i woudln't want it to be a 100% dizzy chance per hit, but a higher chance than it is now. Its too unreliable to use the attack which is a huge drain on HAM until it finally hits, because it may very well NOT go offbefore you're dead.
