I'm looking for some info on polearm rebalancing flares.

Specifically, the RT generated by the "sweep flare" as well as number of shots of the flares itself. Additionally, does having more ranks in MOC increase the frequency for the initial crush flare?

Any info would be grand.

I was talking to a friend earlier today and he pasted me this clip:

You concentrate intently, focusing all your energies.
You explode into a fury of strikes and ripostes, moving with a singular purpose and will!
You thrust with a perfect vultite awl-pike at a massive pyrothag!
AS: +401 vs DS: +211 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +24 = +246
... and hit for 124 points of damage!
Lucky shot rips through bone and muscle sending weapon arm flying.
It is difficult to tell if the massive pyrothag even realizes that its right arm is missing.
The pyrothag's glaes club falls to the ground.
The massive pyrothag is stunned!

You feint to one side, then crack the massive pyrothag with a hard shot! Suddenly, you reverse direction, and strike the massive pyrothag again with the butt of your vultite awl-pike!
... 20 points of damage!
Blow raises a welt on the massive pyrothag's left arm.

You reverse your awl-pike again, and sweep the massive pyrothag off its feet!
You thrust with a perfect vultite awl-pike at a massive pyrothag!
AS: +401 vs DS: +143 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +64 = +354
... and hit for 215 points of damage!
Blow cracks a rib and punctures a lung.
Breathing becomes a challenge.

The massive pyrothag vibrates violently one final time and then lies still.

Your series of strikes and ripostes leaves you winded and out of position.
Roundtime: 11 sec.

From what I understand...(and I may be way confused, because he said this info is up on Krakiipedia but I can't find it)

The chance to activate the feinting flare is 20%. MOC does not influence the flare, it flares like a normal flare.

If you have 50 ranks of MOC and the flare activates, you have a 33% chance of also doing the tripping maneuver.

If you have 100 ranks of MOC and the flare activates, you have a 66% chance of also doing the tripping maneuver.
