Will it still add the to the total of dodge or is it capped at 125 too? Seems pointless if it is as what would be the point of mastering if you only needed like 75 pts in it. Oh well i have looked everywhere for this info so hopefully our correspondent may know this.

Thanks in advance

I could not say 100% for sure that this will not happen after the publish, but I would think NO. The reason the cap is being implimented is because of dabblers(assuming you know how dabbling works)who choose to stack denfenses. Now that stacked defense plus COB made it almost impossible for a fencer to be hit. Therefore the nerf cry came along and when that happens SOE is more then happy to oblige.

Like i said though I cannot proove this. Hopefully someone who has been on test center can answer for sure.

So you are saying that COB is now useless and serves no purpose? I mean if i master fencer (which i already have for sometime) it will be pointless to use COB as it will do absolutely nothing? I hope not as this would be the straw that breaks the provebial camels back, as I have yet to hear anything about range/melee def. getting nerfed yet. Dodge is so easy to do away with with intimidate anyways sowhats the point ofchanging this anyways? For the love of god my only Ap1 weapon sucks so at least give me the ability to outlast my foes. A fencer is far from unbeatable.

For something that is so close to being put in you'd think they'd at least give us an idea of what is going on. i am taking their silence as that they (the devs) don't know what they are doing either and are making this up as they go along. i go on testcenter and they have no clue either and no one seems to be discussing this there. Someone needs to figure out what is going on and let us know.

They are only putting a hard cap on how much Base dodge you can stack together, i know it's between 125 - 150. According to test center, Center of being is a totally diffrent skill all together. It basically makes you more effective in PVP, by increasing your base dodge. It doesn't double it, it increases the base ammount of dodge you have got.

I doubt the Devs would of added it, then nerfed it. As far as i know there only nerfing the base ammount of dodge you can get, not any addon's such as plus 25 in Dodge sea's or COB. I really wouldn't worry either way.

COB is untouched by the defense cap. The skill isn't altering, just the maximum amount of dodge you can have is.

Look at your section called, "My Skill Mods" or something along that line (funny how I can't remember something's name even though I look at it all the time.) Center of Being Effectiveness and Duration are what effect how much you can dodge and how long, it is fairly high with Blademaster/Master Brawler +32 Duration (32 Seconds) and +137 Effectiveness (not sure on exact number, but this is the amount of dodge added on).

Center of Being doesn't appear as a skill mod, and it is a temporary status effect like a Dizzyor Buff (not the same thing, but an example nevertheless) , it isn't the same as a skill modification, so I highly doubt it will be changed by Publish 7.

Just my thoughts..

so at the moment i am a master fencer master pistolier with +210 dodge i do not use cob as its not really needed atm. after nurf i will have between 125-150 dodge lets say 125 just to be safe cob is ment to ad about 1/3 dodge?

that would give me +40ish that would make it back up to 165 dodge that is still impresive hehe

even if cob adds 1/4 dodge that is still +25 making it +150

hell im still happy with that
