I run my COB macro all the time and don't have this problem ( I'm not a master yet either). I'm not sure why it would do that. Maybe check your macro?
Sorry I can't be of more help
Anyone else have any suggestions?

It may just be the duration, CoB lasts a very short time until you get to higher levels.

Sounds like this may be it. I had the same problem when I first started out with fencing. I used COB and it seemed to disengage as soon as I hit one of my special keys. As it turned out it was just because my COB duration was just so low. The timing was just a coincedance. Check your skill modifier numbers. I could be wrong about this, but from what I've read I think there should be a COB modifier number there and that number is equal to the time (in seconds) that your COB will last each time you activate it. Good luck.

True, you just don't see the animation against creatures for some reason. Dodge always works, the animation just works against humanoid NPCs.

Center Of Being macro?
Could anyone post it here? Only Brawler: One Hand III right now, working my wa yup and this should help 
CoB takes mainly mind HAM, correct?

if you took the time to look up in the stickied threads you would have found it by now. Refering to the person asking for the CoB macro.

Q: What is the CoB macro and how far into Fencing should I be before I use it?
A: The CoB macro is as follows:
Name this macro CoB or what ever suits you.
/ui action clearCombatQueue; - Used to clear all queued special attacks
/CenterofBeing; - Used to activate CoB
/pause 32; - Used so you don't constantly get "you are already focusing on that" message. This number comes from your CoB duration plus 1. Pause 32 for master fencer, Pause 37 for master fencer w/ master brawler.
/macro CoB; - Or what ever you named the macro.
Now as far as how far into fencer you should be before you use it, that is all preference. I would suggest not using this until you get at least a CoB Duration of 20. I also suggest not using this macro if you don't have mind buffs(well all buffed) or Vasarian Brandy/Muon, as it will continually run and run your HAM down. To stop the macro you can make a macro/or type /dump.
There ya go. Oh, and yes, I am pretty sure COB takes mostly Mind. I haven't noticed any significant mind or action loss when using COB. I don't know the numbers...but it only seems to visibly draw from Mind.
