I have been practicing in Azure Main and using offhand disarm on the villagers. The problem is that offhand disarm did not work all the time, i.e. it worked if I did not berserk (having offhand disarm at 77%) and did not work once I have used berserk (while offhand disarm was at 67%). Like this:
(without berserk)
offhand
You try to knock a surveying explorer's a finely polished shield to the ground, but fail.
A surveying explorer has some small but disgusting cuts. <75%-89%>

(with berserk)
<552(74%)hp 355(93%)m 98%mv (94.22%)civilized indoor> offhand
You must wield a weapon to disarm someone's off hand.

Perhaps it has something to do with me being a hth spec... or the zone.

Your ironhands has to meet a certain threshold to be able to disarm/offhand as a h2h spec.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
