After stilleto nerf and raketeer nerf imo we need more disarm dmg or disarm time.SInce units can move a 14 second stilleto ston over normal units wont do much cause you can still escape fast.Maybe increase it to 20 or 22?

I don't really like disarm. I understand the motivation behind it's implementation, but it's just kind of lame.

I suggest bringing back the original stilleto (15+ sec paralyze) but make it a one-use kamikaze plane missile instead of a reusable bomber. It would have to cost less than 600m, but there would still be a cost to it's use.

The racketeer I would give slow damage instead of disarm. That way it's still a good assault-supressant but it can't be used to pin down coms and other large units like it used to.

If stiletto is going to be one use, make a a moderately high-HP suicide bomber (a blastwing with more HP).

I kinda like fortaleza's idea with slow. Maybe when a unit has its disarm filled, it then goes to slow damage.

Since nobody has been able to properly balance that unit yet (is it so difficult to just try increasing its cost or just reducing emp duration?) i like that idea

I think the new Stiletto role is working well. That's not to say it is balanced, just that it can be balanced in a way which keeps it useful.

Purely messing with the cost of units is not a good way to balance things. Often the unit's role is a bit wrong or it would be good to nerf a unit by making it worst at something which it is already bad at. This leads to more diversity instead of high cost OP glass cannons.

disarm is fine as it is, imo its a good thing for stileto and rackteer, they could never work with normal emp.

i like forevers initial idea, stileto should really disarm for longer then a puny 11 sec...

I agree current disarm is a bit limp, stiletto in particular would need a longer disarm time to be nearly as useful as it was before.

I like the disarm on the raketeer, but agree that it should do more damage so it is effective vs heavies (and be balanced so it can just shut down 1 unit 100% of the time)

Random thought: Reverse BRrankFortaleza's idea and completely merge disarm with slow. Like, no distinction between a Slow weapon and a Disarm weapon. When a unit reaches maximum slow, it gets disarmed. Would make Moderators useful again (but might push Outlaws back into OPLaw land).
