Warrior gifts mastery, what happened to the disarm blocking?

[Cetric]

Right before I had left the game for a bit, the warrior mastery gave somewhat of a block of disarm, so mage weapons were still easily and freely disarmable but warriors running the mastery we're difficult to disarm.

Why was this removed and changed to it's current 5hci 5dci 5str version?

I just don't recall seeing anything on it and am genuinely curious why they removed such a beneficial thing.

They should have removed Casting Focus & Poison Immunity instead.

Archery & Throwing never should have had the anti-disarm thing though, That's where they went wrong with it...while it lasted.

They removed it, because it never worked. The were unable to fix it, so we got the other buff.

 

[Slayvite]

They removed it because the PvP'ers cried like babies......and god knows we cannot have those 5 people upset about having to learn a work-around.....

Why? Was the disarm beneficial to you whilst you slayed the evil monsters of illshnar?

Yes.
If you knew how to use it correctly and on which monsters.

Disarm blocking never worked? Yeah, in pvm, it never worked. But very few things in pvm are capable of using disarm on a player. In pvp, you'd, more often than not, need several attempts to successfully disarm someone. The only issue I had with Saving Throw is that Archers & Throwers got it - they should have gotten a different passive (let's say the current Warrior's Gift.)

Yeah, it was completely useless in pvm. Of the like... what, 3 monsters, that can disarm you, even with the passive active they disarmed you all the time.

The removed it because they’re lazy. What the should Of done was put a cool down. But instead of actually fixing it. They removed it. Probably for the best. They generally are completely clueless and would of put like a 30 minute timer.

I guess you can look at like that. The days of devs understanding balance in UO are gone. They just kind of make random content and input it into game. With a shrug and a you likey?

 

[skett]

They also sometimes change random things for no reason
Died pets walk speed
Phoenix rainbow color
Etc. on and on and on
