I hit Master Swordsman recently. While mastering I used COB alot, hoping it would actually get a better duration when I hit master. The number on the skill tree increased, but my duration seems to still be at 10 seconds or less. Is this normal?


This skill takes a tremendous amount of mind to execute.


Also, if I go up the fencer and unarmed line, do those COB skill points add to my swordman skill points?I know the description for fencer line says, "while wielding aone-handed weapon", you get the bonus. I also noticed most of the descirptions are not worded very well.


I am just wondering if anyone has experimented with these skill combos.


thanks,

As a Master, CoB should last for about 30 secs. Andno, the CoB from the Fencer and unarmed trees do not stack with the CoB for swordsman.

Thanks.


Kinda what I thought on the stacking.


I would love 30 seconds. I'll test more. But I clocked it several times last night and all were about 10 seconds. But, I don't kick it on until I am in battle. Would that have an affect? Swordsman is my only combat profession. Could warcry/intimidate from the brawler line be cancelling it?

on a side note: It is time I reveal I am the cause of the recent nerf. Not because I am overpowered, or some uber player, it is a simple matter of choice. Every profession I pick gets nerfed soon after. I stuck with CM for quite sometime and went thru about 6 nerfs. Sorry fellow CMs. Once I gave it up, no more nerfs. So don't make me mad or your profession is next.

Always lasts about 40 seconds for me.

Have you tried using it out of combat when youre just standing around?

with master brawler + master swordsman I clocked it at about 35 seconds (correct me if i'm wrong)


make a macro or something which goes like this..



<<<< insert command to clear combat queue



/CenterOfBeing (or whatever the command is);


/pause 36;


/macro "whatever you called macro"



dadaaaa..

Hm, I have to /pause 41;

Any lower than that and it gives the "You are already centered with this weapon" message.

Hmm, I never thought CoB did much, am I missing something by not using it?

per the devs at fan fest...the hard cap is skill point based. Your skills cannot increase it beyond 125. clothing attachments can add +25 max (but that was unclear if they meant up to 150, or up to 125)


food can buff it higher than the cap...so i'm assuming my math is correct.125 + 25 + 50 +62 = 262. possibly 237 if the sea's are limited under the cap.



The dev team would never allow any kind of imbalance so that one group of people would "cut swaths" through crowds of people.

If my template gives me the maxed out dodge bonus of 125, does Center of Being actually heighten this? What about dodge food? Skill enhancing attachments?


I'm thinking that if so, I could get an extra 62 points with CoB, and 50 points with some 40% dodge food, bringing my functional total to +237.


...or is the functional cap set at +125?


Thanks

Hi all what does center of being exactly does? in the game i can read that it let yoursef concentrate on "self preservation"

i think this means you get less damage...

does this mean that in pvq if i just want to kill things fast this ability makes me hit less hard..


should i use it or i shouldn t as a tkm to grind exp for fs?

It raises your secondary defense(Dodge/Counter/Block) I belive TKA's is broken.
