Patch	Changes
November 28, 2023	Forage (Pig): This skill now only forages a greatsword. The greatsword can be thrown at enemies. Reduced the cooldown from 30 seconds to 25 seconds. Guild Wars 2 Wiki note: Crippling Throw was reintroduced to the game.
October 01, 2019	Removed the Crippling Throw follow-up skill. This skill no longer automatically uses Counterattack Kick when blocking a foe within the range threshold. Instead, blocking any attack flips the skill to Counterattack Kick for 5 seconds. Increased the number of targets for Counterattack Kick from 1 to 3. Counterattack Kick now evades for its duration and activates faster.
July 23, 2013	This skill can now be used while moving. Increased the cripple duration to 5 seconds.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Crippling Throw has been added to the game.
