Description

Strip Armor is a 2nd class active skill available as Rogue and Stalker. It forcibly strips the target's armor. While used on players in PvP or WoE, the target cannot use armors for a period of time. Used in PvM, this skill decreases the soft DEF of a monster by 40% for a short amount of time. The skill's success rate and duration are affected by the DEX difference between the caster and the target. The skill's range is checked after the skill is finished casting. The skill will fail if the target is out of range when casting is complete. All stripping skills fail if the opponent isn't wearing the corresponding gear.

Skill Level	Base duration	SP cost
1	75 sec	17
2	90 sec	19
3	105 sec	21
4	120 sec	23
5	135 sec	25

Formula

The duration and success rate are both affected by skill level, and the DEX difference between the caster and the target, as such they are based on the following formulae:

Success Rate (%) = 5 * (Skill Level + 1) + (Caster's DEX - Target's DEX) ÷ 5

Bonus Duration (sec) = [Skill Level + 500 * (Caster's DEX - Target's DEX)] / 1000

• If your DEX is higher than the target's, the chance of success and duration are increased, and oppositely they are decreased.
• Against monsters there is an added 15 seconds to the bonus duration.
• There is a minimum 5% chance of success.

Level 5 with 100 Dex
Target's Dex	Success Rate	Duration
50	40%	160 seconds
150	20%	110 seconds
185	13%	92.5 seconds

Notes

• The status cannot be removed normally. The skill Dispell does not remove the status. The High Priest card from a Minstrel's Tarot Card of Fate and a Paladin casting Gospel can remove the status.
• The divest status is lost when you log out.
• Can be used on Boss type monsters.
• Only shows animation on success.
• You can divest a target in frozen status, and on success the frozen status is not lost.
