4-set vs thunderforged offpieces.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't someone establish a while ago that the 2p bonus is multiplicative, not additive? That is, we get stagger * 1.12, not stagger + 12 as a result.

It gives you a buff when you actually disarm something - that is when the boss/mob loses their weapon. If you can't steal the weapon, you won't get the buff. Windlord adds can be disarmed.
