To get your corrosponding defensive bonus you need to equip the correct weapon. So if you were holding a gaffi stick your dodge defense would get the bonus and not DA. Once you unequip the gaffi and equip your vk's(or unarmed) your DA would get the bonus of CoB. I believe that once you have the macro running, as long as your duration for CoB is the same in both prof's, it should switch to modify the correct defense for the weapon/unarmed equipped.

On a similar line as this. I currently run a macro that equips my stun baton and starts my COB , then switches me to my jawa, which I use primarily in PVP, and then switches me back to my stun baton to restart my COB again after my 32 seconds are up. It seems to work so that COB covers me while I have my rifle equipped.

I would think that if you wanted to get your COB bonus from both fencer and TKA, you could set a macro up uiaction Toolbarslot# for a fencer weapon and then start your fencer COB and then uiaction toolbarslot# for you VK's and then start your TKA COB to get both bonuses.

If you try this, please let us know how it works.

It may seem to work, but it won't. Simply put, as a Rifleman you will never dodge. CoB won't help out your ranged professions respective defense, it is a melee bonus only. As far as the Fencer Cob, then switching to Unarmed CoB will not work. CoB will only start once, if you have the macro running, you will not be able to start CoB again, it will just switch as to what it modifies(ie. Dodge, Block, Counter Attach).

/ui action clearCombatQueue or /ui action clearCombatQue?

It is:

/ui action clearCombatQueue

---

kool, thanx....1 more question....does this completely clear all the specials in the combatqueue window or does it place the COB ahead of all the other specials?

---

the /ui action clearCombatQueue is necessary as it will take all the specials that you have spammed and clear what is in the combat queue to make it so CoB will take effect imidiatly. Some people think that CoB isn't affected by the combat queus, but it is. If you spammed a bunch of specials and didn't clear the combat queue your CoB would wait till all of the specials were performed. Just like when you go to heal yourself in combat, or go to eat/drink some food/beverage.

Great thread - very helpful.

Well after much searching I found the toggle macro for CoB. It is as follows:

CoB Macro
/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/centerOfBeing;
/pause 32;
/macro CoB;


Starting Macro for CoB
/alias ToggleCoB /macro COBOff;
/macro COBLoop



Stopping the CoB Macro
/alias ToggleCoB /macro COBOn;
/dump


The Toggle Switch
/ToggleCoB

After assigning all these macros, type "/alias ToggleCoB /macro COBOn" and then drag the COB macro to your toolbar. The first time you press it it will turn your CoB loop on, the second time you press it it'll turn the CoB loop off.

I can't get this macro working, do I put all this into one macro or is it 4 macros? When I put the CoB macro into toolbar and press it I get the error message saying "Unable to execute macro: COBOn".. How do I do this??

They are four different macros. To start the toggle function of the macro you need to type the following in the spatial, all one line, don't hit enter until the end quotes on this:

"/alias ToggleCoB /macro COBOn" that starts the toggle function. To actually get the macro to start you need to use the /ToggleCoB macro, this will toggle it on/off. I hope this helps you out.

I found where is the problem, the first macro must be called CoBLoop,second CoBOn,third CoBOff and last CoB. That works for me.

nice guide

Yes, Air Cake will increase your dodge above 125. The way the cap works is that through skill boxes you can only gain 125 in dodge. Food and SEA's allow you to go above 125.

My macro still wont work in my game. When I click on it the first time it starts, but the second timeI click on it says "you are already focusing on defense with this weapon".

Could you please clarify macro names to use, what to do with the start/stop macros, and whichmacro to put in the command bar?

I edited the original post to help clarify it for ya. Don't forget, if you are using the Toggle macro that you have to manually type in:
/alias ToggleCoB /macro COBOn. You need to do this to activate the toggle alias, once you type this in the toggle function will work. Hope that helped ya out.
