Disarm

While is certainly overpowered for locking out adrenline, nerfing it this way (April 17 update) cause it to become useless against other weapon users.

Suggestion

5e, 1/4a, 15r

Scale 0...3 seconds disable. In addition to that, add "If interrupted action was an attack skill, that attack skill is disabled for additional 10 seconds.

The goal is to make it effective against Assassin, Ranger, and Dervish.

This has little to no use against caster builds, and has only minimal use against energy-based attack skills. It is very powerful against adrenaline-based skills, but only 2/10 professions really use adrenaline, and one of those two just uses it to yell at things.

Also, Weapon Spells have no real counter. At least in my opinion, everything should have some sort of counter.

Suggestion

Put bluntly, make this skill remove weapon spells, in addition to its current effect. It fits the name, and it's already a Sword Attack in Strength, with a short conditional attack skill disable. It doesn't have a huge threat of being overpowered. Plus, it gives Swords a bit of a boost in PvP, where Axes and Hammers are king(from my watching of observer mode, anyway). If simply having it remove a weapon spell is too powerful, it could even have a silly 0...1...1 weapon spells removed, or a 50%(or even 100%) 4 or less fail rate (in Swordsmanship) on the weapon spell removal. I just think that weapon spells are currently virtually unstoppable, and this skill could be the antidote.
