Question about Assassin Strike in PvP

I remember hearing something a while back about assassin strike having a chance to detoggle an opponnent in pvp. Anyone know anything about that?

Sadly no, that's not how it works. You cannot "detoggle" anyone in the old sense of the word. Holds/stuns however will drop all "offensive toggles" such as rise of the challenge. These powers are usually ones that require a(n) enemy/group of enemies to function to it's potential.

Base toggles, meaning all of your shields that don't do anything except affect you, will stay on permantly until you run out of endurance.

What you're probably remembering is AS having the chance to cause a fear effect. It does in PvE but I'm not so sure about in PVP, to be honest I cannot recall it fearing even the squishiest of my opponents, and I pvp daily.

Negative.


Actually, the pre-i13 AS had a 100% chance to detoggle "1" toggle, and I believe it had like a "50%" or "20%" chance to detoggle a second toggle. That, however, was removed with later patches and nerfs to pvp.

PvE only buff to Stalkers. I read the patch notes regularly to double check this kind of stuff, cause I'm a loser.

This - it used to, it doesn't anymore.

The line for one toggle drop is still in the powers that used to, but set to a 0% chance; iirc AS had a small chance to detoggle 3 toggles (something like 1%). a good chance to hit 2, and almost always hit 1 (but I didn't think it was 100%... maybe 75%?).

Check. And. Mate.

I guess that's what I get for re-learning pvp.

Thanks fellas, I had a feeling it was something like that.
