Thread: Extremely WACKY Template Idea !?!?!?!?!!!!!??
I tested the CoB that comes at Unarmed I today, and it does. It doesn't work if you have a weapon in your hand, but the fix for that is quite simple: unequip, hit CoB, then re-equip your weapon.
BTW, for those who don't know. Every smuggler right now has access to a 25 second CoB that adds +250 to all of your defenses.... no joke.

Interesting. I found a post on the BH forums about a Duelist Stance/COB macro - it seems like it could turn a BH/Smuggler into a rather heavy tank if it indeed stacks as the post says.
Wow, the Jedi trolls ate his thread up fast didn't they?
I also heard that Duelist Stance no longer increases defenses. I think I tested this before I left the profession. No damage was mitigated when I hit Duelist Stance. Still though, if you could pick up TK 0100 and use it in conjuction with Duelist Stance (if/when it gets working), you are looking at a supertank.

Just tested it on a Kashyyykian grey con monkey - it reduced the damage from 57 or 41 to 47 or 33 (well if I'm reading the combat log right
) and the defense modifier was 160.

Hmmmm, what is the mitigation with the Unarmed I CoB added in conjunction? You could theoretically get TK 0100 and stack the improved CoB with Duelist Stance to get defenses up to 800.
I'd have a better chance at finding out if I wasn't MBH/Mpistoleer/Carbs 44xx
Errrr... Smuggler/BH/TKA anyone?
(I'm betting 2 million spacebucks that the COB/DS working this way will somehow get changed though, as it's, as far as I can tell, the only skill combination that provides extremely high defense modifiers apart from the J...you-know-what skills.)
Yep CoB works fine for Smuggler,
I have been constructing a template based on my character's RP history. Lately I have been leveling up one handed and two handed melee. I have Master Smuggler and Dancer xx4x. I am adding TKA 21xx and Fencer xxx3. I have been killing mobs one and two levels below to survive in melee since I am stuck in Brawler right now.
I pull them with my pistol and knock off about 30% life. Root them down close, imp overwhelming shot, panic shot, low blow, click melee weapon in toolbar, CoB then charge in for melee XP. So far it's been working fine. The two handed xp has been harder than the one because all I could find was a crappy CL 30 axe. My one handed weapon is CL50.
BTW feign death works fine with a melee weapon. The equip time isn't that bad, I just keep my pistol and melee weapons in the toolbar. One click and they switch.
CoB is worth it, definitely. In addition I have been doing this with no armor, and crappy stim C. I am CL 55 currently and what I was killing was 54/53.
As someone else suggested I could see a Smuggler going after TKA x1xx just for imp CoB. Use it then equip your pistol, viola!
