cdefense is a no brainer, 15% overall against any manoeuvers or so.. good stuff.
With 3 ranks in disarm, you have around 35% chances to get disarmed in nelemar as a pure. Doesn'T cost much.
Why disarm then with the recent changes.
In nelemar, unless you're a wiz that gets very low RT when disarmed or manoeuvered in general, the danger is NOT getting disarmed. The danger is getting disarmed AND rt lock AND charged and … then you (not necessarily you, in general) whine on lnet to come recover item cause you died .. bla bla bla.
I'm way too proud to let that happen.
If you can manage such scenarios, no need for disarm.
