Ok guys i have found the root cause. You can change weapons during disarm… SO if rogue disarms 2h weapon from warr and he switches to 1h and shield, there will be no 1h but shield will be active and he will be able to shield wall which shouldn’t be the case. Literally we are playing worst private server out there…

Why do you do this to us…
Can’t you grant us one feature…
I wanted to check if this works with hunters deterrence. Hunter should not be able to use Dete during dismantle even if dual wielded, but i can still change weapons during dismantle yet i cannot deterrence. So why the hell warr can wall? LOL BLIZZ IS TROLLING US SO HARD EVEN BUGS HAVE NO LOGIC AND ARE BUGGED INSIDE

Ok so Hunter is not bugged.
Now delete your comments and allow us our little feature.
Appreciate it.
Btw.
Fun thought.
If you get DISARMED, what prevents you from just re-equipping your weapon 
You can make yourself immune to mind flay with bladestorm and still spin during Hand of Protection. Should be enough i guess xDDD
Still.
I swear, somehow I remember Disarm just unequipping your weapon to your inventory. You had to manually re-equip it before bieing able to use offensive skills. After re-equipping you didn’t have downtime.
(Ofcourse macro’s existed, but still, fun interaction)
Yeah at first I assumed that if you put on any new weapons it would work but it’s exclusively the shield that can be equipped
And if it was a bug, it was one that was never changed or said by Blizzard to be one
This is certainly bugged.
Warriors in 3.3.5 can be disarmed in bladestorm and it does cancel the storm.
Also removing the shield should not allow warriors to use shieldwall. Huge buff to a class that already dominates the ladder.
There are many more bugs around, as other posters have pointed out here:
This is way worse than private servers rn. And they are for free.
I guess if stuff isnt fixed soon its time to unsub.
Edit: for the duration of the disarm debuff you cannot simply reequip a weapon or shield, only after the effects ends.
So this is another bug seemingly.

Yes, he literally just equips another shield while you dismantled him.
Hunters can do the same to deter with a weaponchained weapon i believe.
We can’t i have tested this yesterday for the sake of this thread

There have been lots of workarounds like this in WoW history. In WOD you could cast taunt while bladestorming and it would switch you into defensive stance for the damage reduction while still bladestorming, even though you couldn’t stance swap the normal way without cancelling bladestorm.
This WOTLK shield thing isn’t a bug because you’re equipping the shield after the dismantle, which is maybe not how you’d expect it to work but it is how it did work. As for disarming a Bladestorm, that was not a thing on WOTLK launch but was changed later, think it should be that you can stop Bladestorm with disarm.
Dont care whether it worked that way back in the day or not. The ability is not working as intended. Anyone who argues otherwise cant understand the meaning of the text “[…] removing all weapons, shield or other equipment carried”. If this “all” referred only to the ones currently equipped all classes should be able to put on another set of weapons from their bag. The ability is not working as intended end of story.

Exactly how it should work (not equipment though, that’s wild lmao)
Thank you.
It doesn’t say anything about preventing you from equipping another shield and it did not work the way you describe in WOTLK. If it’s working as it did in WOTLK then it’s working as intended and you’re just lobbying for changes that favour you in arena.
Nothing to see here really, move along.
Abilities should do what they say they do and do it in a consistent way. My motivations for wanting this to be the case in this particular case are completely irrelevant. Good bye
You’re lobbying for a change to the game that favours you, your motivations couldn’t be more relevant.
Then I believe wrong, thanks for clarifying
Or you are hoping this stays as is (bugged) so you have it easier into rogues.
There are different kinds of disarms in the game, some disarm your weapon(mh or 2h) others that disarm all weapons and shields. Like rogue does.
Youre telling me, that the normal disarm, in which you can equip a shield but no mh after getting disarmed is the same as a disarm that literally states to disarm everything?
I think its obvious that rogue disarm simply either doesnt work as intended and doesnt remove every weapon and shield OR
That the debuff that is applied by dismantle has the same properties as other disarms (like spriest, warrior) that do not disarm any more than the mh, in which case, as said before, you can equip a shield while disarmed (you shouldnt with dismantle debuff tho).
Standing here and saying that this works as intended just makes me wanna puke.

It works as it did in WOTLK, that’s all I really care about. Blizzard fixed the Fiery weapon thing within 24hours, and rightly so because it was never a thing in WOTLK. This tho, this was a thing in WOTLK.
Rogues don’t need a helping hand with balancing, this is what you’re asking for.
Fire warrior would have also worked in WOTLK.
