Summary

Wrestling skill grants the ability to attack and defend with no weapon equipped.

  • The chance to hit with fists and the chance to avoid interrupts while casting is equal to (attacker's wrestling skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses.
  • Unarmed Wrestling base damage against creatures is 2-8
  • Unarmed Wrestling base damage against players is 1-4
  • Unarmed Wrestling attacks have a base speed of 50


PvM Bonuses

  • Increases Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill)
  • Wrestling will provide a (15% * (Wrestling Skill / 100)) Mana Refund chance when casting spells
  • Due to Wrestling's defense bonus being active when unarmed (or holding a book) it can be used to defend against melee attacks while casting spells.

PvM Weapon Special Attack

  • Only works against creatures, not other players
  • There is a 10% base chance of inflicting a Special Attack on creatures
  • When players trigger a Weapon Special with a wrestling weapon equipped, it will no longer do a Disorient effect, but it will instead do a Stagger Effect
    • Damage is increased by 75%
    • Applies a Stagger effect of 10% on the target for 8-16 seconds (scaled by weapon speed) which can stack up to 30%
    • Stagger effects increase the damage dealt by any hit that includes a Weapon Special, Weapon Ability, or Weapon Finisher

Wrestling Weapons

  • Players have access to "Martial Manuals", "Cestus" and "Fist Blade" weapons which transform the player's Wrestling swings into weapon-like strikes of roughly the same speed and damage as War Forks
  • Wrestling Weapons are for all intents and purposes considered One-Handed Weapons that players can Parry with, but cannot equip Shields while wielding
  • Players can drink potions while wielding Wrestling Weapons

  • Wrestling Weapons have the same Accuracy, Damage, Durability, and Slayer Properties as normal weapons
  • Martial Manuals can be crafted (including with Colored Materials) via the Inscription skill, or can be found as magic loot versions
  • Cestus and Fist Blades can be crafted (including with Colored Materials) via the Tailoring skill, or can be found as magic loot versions

PvP

  • Wrestling Weapons can be disarmed, which will result in the player dealing standard "Unarmed" 1-2 damage during that time
  • Wrestling Weapons are not allowed in Arena Duels or Tournaments
  • Damage from Wrestling Weapons in PvP will scale based on the player's Raw Dex stat as a % (without any adjustments for Dex bonuses or penalties from Potions, Bless, Weaken, other effects)

For example:

  • A player with 100 Dex will inflict 100% of normal PvP damage with Wrestling Weapons
  • A player with 50 Dex will inflict 50% of normal PvP damage with Wrestling Weapons
  • A Player with 25 Dex will inflict 25% of normal PvP damage with Wrestling Weapons
  • A player with 25 Dex, but temporarily at 45 Dex due to a Greater Agility Potion, will still inflict 25% of normal PvP damage (Potions and spell buffs/debuffs will not count into their Dex calculation)

Codex

Main article: Weapon and Shield Codex#Wrestling Stances and Finishers

  • Wrestling can benefit from Stances and Finishers provided by a Codex of Wrestling.
    • Players can acquire a Wrestling Codex that works exclusively with Wrestling Weapons (provides no benefit to empty fists)
    • Similar to other Weapon Skills, changing to a Wrestling Stance costs the player 3 mana
    • For the first 10 seconds after a player activates a Wrestling Stance, the bonus from it is dramatically increased (this is called a "Stance Adoption" period)
    • Conceptually, players with a Wrestling Codex are encouraged to switch stances (costing 3 mana) every 10 seconds to maximize the bonuses they get from each stance (which will likely require the player to have some form of limited mana regeneration)
