Ive never seen anyone else use this and it makes me sad

[Tyrius]

So I am a dps main but I have tanked alot for friends outside my static to help them with content but I kinda get triggered since I have yet to see any tank other then myself use arms length for giant pulls and it hurts my soul ??? who dosent want to give the enemy 20% auto attack slow?!?!?!? any one else experience this or is it just me lol

I only can do an hypothesis.

I suppose tanks are used to keep it to avoid "push-back/projections" attacks. The slow-down effect is probably considered as secondary.

If you take the habit to use it in you rotation, you could end to be tricked by yourself when you need it to avoid a push back and the enemy has resist already.

this could be true but how many mobs really have that outside of bosses realistically? not a bad hypothesis though

Might have been stupid but for a long while I thought the "Slow" effect just reduced movement speed (like "Heavy") instead of attacks. It was until I by chance read in some thread or comment that it slows attack that I found out. I guess I didn't pay much attention or consideration first time I read the Arm's length tooltip and set my mind to thinking it was just movement speed ever since.

Same might be the case for others. An explanation in the tooltip of what the "slow" effect entails might help.

Same, I literally found out yesterday

So it seems to be a tool tip issues with the explanation its a shame its actually an awesome cool down on those giant pulls I am a mentor and try to help explain it to people and i get told im wrong every time lol

Another factor is that it didnt have the slow back before Shadowbringers, so people read it once and never looked at the updated version.

Well then we should start a holy crusade to bring this info to the masses!!!!!!!!!!!

Arms Length + Reprisal is fantastic when there are 12+ enemies trying to swing at you.

Pretty sure it always had the slow. Tanks just didn't get to use it though, so that aspect of it was largely pointless.
