Brawler Archive

nothing happens when i use it

Yeah, I'll definately be playing a ranged profession when I unlock. I love melee, I really do, but until they fix this BS, I'm not going to die over and over because I can't tank without CoB. Bounty Hunters and Commandos tank about twice as good as a tkm, master brawler, 4/4/4/3 pikeman. Thats because we have to keep clicking that gay cob. Hell, TK's are supposed to be tanks. They should get innate cob. What a frustrating game sometimes.

During long fights I made a CoB macro. I also added a /dump button right next to it because when it fails, i have to dump then restart immediately. Not to mention the mob has spanked me for a couple hits while i do this. THEN, it's a gamble if it even works. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

How about instead of CoB being inate for TKs, leave the ability where it is in brawler but make it use more action (and mind possibly)and last 15 minutes or longer. Thirty second buffs are frustrating. Remember when foraged foods lasted for seconds?

Then at TK, make it work better or last longer. It can even be a "new" skill called CoB2

I think the devs will change this because it is no fun keeping your eyes on your buffs, not being able to look at the battle (which couldinvolve more than yourself)and take screenshots, etc.

TKA's get Improved CoB that lasts 45 seconds and is twice the protection of the normal one.

I see that TKAs have a new COB. Have you used it Greyhare? My concern is not that it last longer..whoopie. My concern is does it come on and work on the first attempt every time? Or does it fail often and you have to use the command 4-5 times while your health bar is already half depleted before it decides to come on? The current CoB is broke and fails more than it works.

The Improved CoB in my experience does work better, I have only had it fail a couple of times in a entire evening of hunting. If you want to use the macro then adjust the first pause to 40 and the rest works fine. Improved Center of Being says that its command is centerOfBeing_1 but in my testing that does nothing while centerOfBeing will trigger the improved version.

Now, THAT is an good idea!

According to my experience it seems that probability of failing CoB increases if I have fought intensively. In addition, if some creature manages to incap me next time I try to use CoB, first attempt usually fails.

Yeah, which is bogus. That's why I feel it needs some attention. But I hope that CoB2 will not have those same shortcomings
