still no fix with the new patch??
Does meditate at least meditate instead of sit now? I'd check myself, but I toasted my Radeon, and I'm waiting on the repair...
(VGA mode sux.)

Does this really do any good? I can't tell. Does anyone use this?

It doesn't make a big enough difference to make it worth the HAM cost, once you use COB use a stim!!

Is the Center of being skill really useful? How much does it effect andwhat exactly does it effect? Is it worth the HAM costs to use? How much do the Center of Being efficy mods effect it?

It is an increase to your classes' secondary defensive skill (ie Dodge, Block, Counterattack, Defensive Acuity). I believe it is a % increase based upon the Center of Being Efficiency modifier, although it might be a different way to increase it. Defensive Acuity doesn't actually do anything, so CoB doesn't really help it at all. However, in just Brawler you have a base of +0 to these skills and CoB doesn't do much in the way of helping.

If you are a fencer or a swordsman (perhaps pikeman) ...
You have high willpower/focus/mind - You can put a macro for center of being looped and you won't notice the ham cost until your mind buffs wear off (brandy is nice.)
Works great for 110 counterattack or dodge. I've seen a mon cal doctor/fencer with stats migrated to mind that could use the center of being macro without much help from entertainers/food or drink.
/center;
/pause xx;
/ui action toolbarSlot12;
The xx in pause is a variable due to the elapsed center of being timer at different levels. toolbarSlot12 is equal to shift F1.

Tk works with CoB good too...but you need eitherfencer, swordsman, or pikeman to back it up including master brawler.
Use Vangerian Canape, muon, and Vasarian brandy, you will not notice anything if you have full buffs.
A macro i use for CoB is:
/warcry1;
/intimidate2;
/Center of Being;
^ that works great when you can intimidate high damaging things. I usually cycle to another target if i Warcry and intimidatethat target.

I have a good question then. I'm a TKM and on my way up to Master Swordsman. Can I switch over to an unarmed weapon use CoB and then switch over to a 2-handed sword and have the bonuses to Counterattack for example. Or do I have to use my 2-handed CoB? I obviously would like to use my TK Cob because it has much better duratation and efficiency as it is for me right now.

I am currently TKM, and am I the only one who can't seem to get CoB working?
Actually, im confused on how its suposed to work!
Its like a dodge defensive special right?
I dont seem to see any diffrence!
Is it broken or something?

Some people say it works for TKM, some say it doesnt. I haven't ever noticed a difference with or without it so I don't bother with it.
