Alright Cetric, since Puni (Hyatt) made the initial gripe about it, then I hear him. He rarely disarms unless disarmed first. Different templates "need" disarm more.
Hyatt gears his temp to hit like a truck using a war axe.
Bush/parry dexxers obv hate disarm since they don't carry a shield, so they can chug. They want their cake and eat it too. Obv bush/parry temps want to sit there and trade punches with their parry and evasion and chugging.
Mage wep mages are in the bush/dexxer class, except mages are brighter obv. Mage weps are the most unfair advantage in any class. No other class gets a free 100 skill points to play with, and it's not like an extra "whatever" free 100 points like a 120 med mage putting on 100 focus. It's a "game changing" free 100 skill points, and yes I obv use mage weps on my mages.
Archers obv hate disarm, especially newbie stealth archers that get disarmed/bled (omg the bleed tick revealed me after my smoke bomb). Straight up archers are like bushy/dexxers except they obv don't stay in range to be hit so of course they don't like disarm.
Melee/archers are rampant, but with the JOAT change a lot of them are out of gas before you have to worry about very much.
Ninja/bush/swords is a very popular class on GL (made so by me obviously).

Obv this class has little natural damage pop since it runs 90 tactics 0 anat and very little DI. Of course someone like Hyatt would want us to just swing away with him. What melee temp with capped or near capped anat/tacts/DI "wouldn't" want this lil template to just sit there and trade punches. Especially since this temp usually doesn't run parry or healing.
This disarm whine should have come before the JOAT changes. Now that JOAT has effectively watered a lot of dexxer templates down, it's kind of ridiculous to say "hey let's nerf disarm too".
The gimp comment wasn't a shot at you Cetric. You know I'm 100% gimp, and love it. Your 4/6 dexxer/weaver is a gimp, and that was the only template you are playing (that I know of) that is gimpy. That was more of a shot at your guild bunny Malador because he makes fun of gimps.
Ooh speaking of Malador, I have a new poll I have to go start!
