Yeah use it just before you start fight, this is a macro I use to have not refill it all the time

Macro name: cob
/centerOfBeing;
/pause 2;
/macro cob;

Although it will spam text in your window I find it useful if the cob should go down it will refill in max 2 seconds and I have found my cob to vary a little in timing so I really recommend this, to quite the loop just type /dump

here's a question, is there a food, or drink that raises the cob duration/effect? if so that would be really usefull...

I do not know about foods boosting duration, but if you create a macro, say, named COB, and enter theses commands:

/centerofbeing;

/pause 38;

/macro COB

You are essentially creating a process that will turn on your COB and leave it on until you type /Dump to turn it off.

Here is how it works. I have the macro on my toolbar. When I want to use it, I press that key and it starts my center of being which I have timedand found itlasts approximately 37 seconds. The pause hits, and waits 38 seconds (one second after the COB expires) and then starts itself up again. This has the effect of having my COB running continuously with only a 1 second gap every 38 seconds where it is not running.

Of course, the 37 seconds is how long mine lasts as a Master Swordsman/Master Brawler. You should time yours yourself to see how long your pause should be.

On occasion, I see a "You are already focusing on that weapon" or whatever it says when you try to run COB while COB is already running. Sometimes this is because I inadvertently hit the key twice, but every once in a while it is because of lag getting the timing off. If that happens too much, just lengthen the time of the pause.

As indicated, you will need to type /DUMP to get the macro to stop running (bearing in mind that this will stop all running macros).

Alternatively, you could shorten the pause to one or two seconds. This would effectivelyensure there was never more than a 1 or2 secondgap where it was not running. My method can periodically create a 38 secondgap if COB happens to bestill running due to server lag when the /pause expires. However, you would want to check to see if the command uses any HAM when it cannot start because COB is already running. I have never bothered doing this because I do not like executing commands in a macro that I know wil not execute most of the time (i.e., with a 1 second pause, you would be entering 36 or 37 /centerofbeing commands while COB was already running for every one that actually executed while /centerofbeing was expired, and that is bad programming practice because it wastsessystem resources). But it is an alternative way of doing it if there are no additional HAM costs. I would prefer just lengthening the pause if the timing became an issue.
