I don't have the means to test this just yet but could a supernatural character shed some light for me on this ability? How frequently does it yank a PvP target towards you, and have you had success with it as a way to "open up" a blocking enemy?

I've never been yanked out of block by Iron Lariat, but I've been yanked while running pleeeenty of times. Very annoying ;)

There's no need to be so fancy. Just put the challenging strikes advantage on an attack power. When you hit someone with it in PvP, it disables their blocking ability for around 10 seconds.

Robot Cowboy rope = near-counter to block. Unless they block real early, they're getting pulled.

I think you mean crippling challenge. I don't believe challenging strikes has any effect on blocking.

Verification on Crippling Challenge and/or Challenging Strikes taking away blocking, if you please. I'm intensely curious about this.

Yah, sorry. I meant Crippling Challenge.
