View source for Disable

To [[disable]] a [[skill]] is to make that skill unavailable for a time, as if it were [[recharge time|recharging]]. This resource denial is a vital part of [[shutdown]] playstyles.

==Game mechanics==

* Some skills can cause your foes' skills, your own other skills, or themselves to be disabled for a set duration.
* A disabled skill is unavailable in the same way as a recharging skill, except that effects that reduce or increase recharge time don't affect the disabled duration.
** An effect that [[Recharge time#Instant_recharge|instantly recharges your skills]] will also recharge disabled skills.
** If an interrupted or otherwise already recharging skill gets disabled, those durations don't add together unless the disabling effect states otherwise.
* If your [[animal companion|pet]] dies, your skills are disabled for {{gr|10|3}} seconds based on your [[Beast Mastery]] rank. This doesn't happen in [[PvP]] arenas where you don't suffer [[Death Penalty]], in [[pre-searing Ascalon]], and if you are not a [[ranger]] and only temporarily have access to a pet until you decide on your secondary [[profession]].
* All [[List of PvE-only skills|PvE-only skills]] are permanently disabled in PvP arenas.

==Skills==
Disabling skills either disable another skill or themselves.
