|
|
How is hobble best avoided. I believe I saw on one post that I should stay in Style advantage and, against warriors, essentially forgo Weapon advantage, if necessary, to maintain Style advantage. Now conversely, I read the help files and it says that Hobble can be affected by the Counterbalance skill. If that were true, it would seem that Style advantage would be irrelevant, since you would be staying in Counterbalance, regardless. I was just wondering which side of the coin to go. Thanks again for your folks answers. |

help HOBBLE wrote: |
* Chances are greatly improved or worsened by combat style superiority.
* Counterbalanced rogues can dodge non-dual wielded hobble attempts. |
help COMBAT STYLE wrote: |
* two-hand > dual wield
* dual wield > defensive
* defensive > two-hand |
i.e. counterbalance vs. dual wield can still be hobbled, since dual wield trumps defensive combat style; combat style is still most important. |
