What do you think of disarm and distracting strike as an interrupt for sword Warriors?I see that distracting strike is almost like savage slash.What do you all think?

disarm>distracting blow>savage slash. If you are fast enough to interupt an attack that is

disarm, is pretty damn sick, good interrupt, and you can take a warrior completely out of the game. (it's basically blackout)
distracting strike is a nice interrupt and followup for spikes, dblow does not do damage, thats the only difference.
@netniwk: disarm doesnt need you to to interrupt an attack skill, just an attacking warrior... at least thats how it worked last time i tried.

I hate disarm. I was in RA the other day and a W/Me was basically wailing on the monks while occasionally coming and disarming me every now and then totally destroying all the adrenaline I made.

It's made worse because I was running backbreaker

i use disarm too... does it take away all of the enemy's adrenaline? i thought it just 'disable' it for 1-4 sec...

Disabling does that

I know that,but if you don't interupt attacks its just a distracting blow with a 2sec longer recharge(and damage,but who cares about that

)

Well, since agonizing chop got nerfed, there's not much 1/2 casttime attacks that are useful for instant spike followups. One of these interrupts would be a better choice than protectors strike imo. (although on axe I usually take dchop)

I think they're great. I'm usually a ranger in PvP (and PvE lately) so I feel pretty naked on any character without an interrupt. Also very useful for damage compression following a high-damage attack. Though if a solid interrupt is all you want, Distracting Blow still has the best recharge and a slight AoE on top of that.

I've run two nice builds with these skills.

Shell Shock + Distracting Strike.

Distracting Strike + Disarm + Distracting Blow + Savage Slash + Flourish.

That second build is more for fun than anything...................

Disarms a great skill. Can pretty much shut down a warrior that uses lots of adrenaline and if you're lucky you can catch a sins spike. Haven't used distracting blow yet.
