I've heard that combined with the counterattack line of carbineer, COB is AWESOME in pvp.
I was thinking of dabbling that way myself, but am not confident that mod stacking will stay in much longer.

it increases your chance to passively defense - and in our case - counterattack if your melee defense fails

It does not work well for TKAs, it will be interesting to see how well it works for Swordsmen.

Counterattack stacking between Swordsman and Carbineer is definitely one of the next up on the nerf list.

Not sure by what percentages it works on, but it makes you counterattack drastically more. Due to the mind cost it isn't often worth using, only when entering a major fight. Oh, and in PvP its invaluable.

works like a charm for me. Of course i have 190 CA and when i hit CoB i never get hit. Unless they thorw a intimidate at me, then I get hit every time.

How long does CoB last for? Ive had it for a while and i use it sometimes but i never bothered to figure out the amount of time it lasts.

The developers wanted a game with more defense so fights last longer and are more enjoyable. The rumors about nerf are rumors. Fights definitely last longer now and are more fun since the defense patch. Besides that, intimidate or stun kills this defense combo, and DOTs have a nasty habit of ignoring them. I don't see any problem with stacking of defense and I'm a master doc / master heavy swords. I'm able to beat meleers who stack all the time. Until they pull out their guns, then I run
