Thread: New Brawler move and More
Anyone been on test center to see the new "Tank" move labelled Center of Being? Itincreases the chances of all your coutnerattack dodge, block moves.If you are on TC you'll also notice all melee get some stat changes for the better. I'm not sure about any move changes but i know overall all classes get more more melee and ranged defense, more toughness and more skill mods for the new tank move. Waaaay more...they also gave pikeman and swordsman some changes they needed (moved our mind attackto Expert Finesse and an extra 10 to counterattack and accuracyin Master Finesse and pikeman got 2 +30 to Accuracyin their tree) I have yet to try it out but i'll have to wait till the beginning of november to see if it's actually good. Seems like things might look better for us. Although i didn't notice any move changes at all though... hopefully that'll change.
Oh yeah on another note, you know that red stuff that follows the tka when they do a special move? Well i think all melee has it now (I got some two handed skills on tc and whenever i do them i get that nice red swirl that follows my sword).
Well....it looks to me as if you found them all...hehe...good job
I was unfortunately only able to test for a very short time before TC came down...means: one fight against a rogue falumpaaset.
Of course i still need to do some more testing, but at least in combat chat i was able to land 7 Counterattacks while /centerofbeing was active and 4 more after the effect disappeared.
Stats of TC Master and Bria Master
TC Master: Bria Master:
Counterattack +110 Counterattack +25
Defense vs Stun +60 Defense vs. Stun +40
2h Accuracy +1302h Accuracy +110
Eventhough everything hasn't been tested yet and this is only a start i think a "Thank you" adressed to Dan, our combat designer, would be in place as well.
So..thanks, Dan 
...and Zenoge 
Have a nice weekend
/cheer Dan
The only question I have is when do the live servers get patched.
Good question....unfortunately no info about that yet.
I guess as soon as everything got tested.
While we are talking about it:
I will of course try testing everything as well, but input from fellow swordsmen on TC is very welcome.
My char's name on TC is Scaar.
So feel free /telling or mailing me with your observations if you want to
Any change to melee and ranged defense, or to toughness?
And how did the special atttacks move around?
sorry but i am stuck at work and really interested.
Does anyone know how counter-attack works anyways? I've been a master for about a month and a half, and I've never counter-attacked, or at least I never noticed it if I did. 
Do we know if using a two-handed sword, and get dodge from the fencer class?
Sadly it dosent work on the live ones, but would love to know for TC
