— In-game description

Arm's Length is an action unlocked at level 32. It is available for Melee DPS, Physical Ranged DPS and Tank.

Additional Information

The Slow is a reduction to enemies' auto-attack speed and global cooldown time. This makes Arm's Length in effect a defensive ability in addition to nullifying knockbacks. Therefore, it should be used as part of a tank's regular defensive cooldown rotation when pulling enemies in dungeons.

Slow should not be confused with Heavy which is a reduction in movement speed.

Not all knockback and draw-in effects can be prevented. In some newer duties, these will be indicated with purple knockback telegraphs.
