Juggernaut bombs, the exploding kind. It'd be nice if they taught some disarming, had a lower range of skill required to disarm them, a chance to explode them and the RT scaled depending on how far over the min you were. Maybe in line with the boxes they drop?

I think the current mechanics allow anyone to disarm with the drawback being a largish RT.

Finding a combat use for disarming was pretty cool. It might be it does all this (except the RT scaling) already and the range is just a bit lower than my actual skill.

If anyone of mid-high range combats with crap disarming wants to give them a shot, I'd be interested to see the results.

Tried twice, failed to disarm, Died once!

>>Tried twice, failed to disarm, Died once!

Thanks, guess that clears that up but while we're on the topic of juggernauts...I can dance with three with khri avoid up and not get hit, 4 with light hits. Just got done killing two others, each a one shot, one left on me than this:


* A Dragon Priest juggernaut chops wide at you. You block with a crocodile-skin buckler.
[You're incredibly balanced and in strong position.]
>
* A Dragon Priest juggernaut sweeps low at you. You barely block with a crocodile-skin buckler. The shh'oi'lata lands an earth-shaking strike that explodes the heart and lungs with a bone-shattering blow to the chest.
A Dragon Priest juggernaut giggles in triumph as it savagely lifts your corpse from the ground with one arm, waving your lifeless body over its head like a broken toy. With a mighty grunt the Dragon Priest juggernaut hurls you though the air, sending your corpse spinning south in a blur of movement.

No lead up stuns, hits or anything. I had a few minor scrapes, light burden.

Is this normal? I've had mobs get lucky shots on me before but wow.

Make sure you aren't just standing there after sweeping. Sweep is not your friend.

My armor was almost destroyed too. Found that out after a spar. People have reported spikey combat with damaged armor. Literally almost all of my armor was 'almost destroyed'. Definitely contributed.

You're going to start seeing problems if you let your armor get beyond 20% damaged.
