provide something actionable, dude. preferably with examples and ideas of what to do going forward.
Even if peeps agree with you, you haven't provided enough information for anyone to even identify what your problem is
The recent disarm changes makes blocking give complete immunity to disarms. Given that disarms are the only real counter to a c-saber and given the bonuses that blocking with a c-saber gives (total immunity to all projectiles), this is a massive buff to the c-saber's effectiveness.
disarms now disarm both hands at the same time so you can no longer be immune to disarms instantly by pressing E to switch hands.
Instead of doing it for free, instantly, it now costs stamina and happens on the combat click delay.
you're still just as vulnerable to disarm knockdowns as before.
That makes it a net nerf.

It takes a huge amount of stamina to swing, and blocking disarms drains more stamina than normal, and having low stamina increases the chance that a shove goes off successfully.
You can still roll for shovedown, yes. Most successful csaber disarms are from shovedowns, since the csaber has such a high stamina cost per swing. In terms of gameplay, not much has changed. Technically it's been nerfed since disarm now targets both hands.

Oh hey wait, how does this affect item arms?
I remember disarms against item limbs used to hit the wielder
Is that still a thing?

It's still a thing and now you can't change hands to cover your item arm.
