Accessing Hamstring

• Hamstring is an independent effect and does NOT automatically occur on Disarm attempts
• Hamstring can be used via the client's "Stun" hotkey, or toggled by using [Hamstring
• Handling for Hamstring can also be configured in the Paperdoll -> Help -> Commands -> Mechanics tab
• Use [HamstringUntoggleMode in order to decide how the automatic toggle works

Attempts

• Similar to Disarm attempts, if Hamstring is toggled for a player, on a missed attack they will not be able to make another Hamstring attempt for 15 seconds
• Disarm and Hamstring are independent effects and can both be placed onto the same target at the same time (and have both independent cooldowns)
• On a successful hit when Hamstring is toggled, a player will have a cooldown of 30-53 seconds (100-25 dex) before they may make another Hamstring attempt to any target
• Once hamstrung, a player or creature cannot be affected by another hamstring effect for another 30 seconds

PvM

• When a creature is hit by a Hamstring effect, they will be Entangled for 6 seconds (cannot move, but may still do melee attacks, spells, and abilities)
• Hamstring effects applied to players from creatures has a 2 second duration

PvP

• When a player is hit by a Hamstring effect, they will be reduced to 0 Stamina for 3 seconds (forcing them to walk), after which their stamina will return to its previous amount
• When an attacker applies Hamstring during an Organized PvP Activity, and has 80 or more Raw Dexterity they have a chance to inflict a Battle Hamstring
