First, can you use specials with Center of Beingactive or will that cancel out?

Second, has anyone found it useful? I haven't really used it. A fellow guildmember (a TKM) said he has read posts on how TKA's are worried about Heavy Swordsman having it. We dueled and he kicked my "you know what" quickly. He is a master and I am only 3/3/3/3 and I did not use any specials. Just testing out how CoB worked and it didn't seem to really do a thing.

I guess I will just keep using my mind bleeds/head hits.

Aye, TKA's have uber accuracy. You can't really use CoB to its full potential until you've hit Master.

Its probably best for PvE tanking etc.

Are you kidding me? CoB is awesome in PvP!

You can use as many specials as you want. Center of Being doesn't wear off until the message "Your thoughts have drifted away from self preservation" pops up.

Center of being helpsswordsmen counterattack more often. I always counterattack at least 8-9 times during the duration of center of being, and I only have master brawler with expert sword defense so far (i'll have about 40 more counterattack when I get master).

Ah cool, I wouldn't know. I stopped pvp'ing when decay went live.

I have used CoB and been kited by BH spamming eyeshot and hitting nothing but the dirt. Its a great skill and even allows you to avoid TKM hits and makes me feel bad for carbineers who can barely hit me as it is.

I love it! In fact, I always use it in combat against creatures that are white cons or higher. Put it this way... I used COB all the time the other night while we were killing Krayts, and let me tell you... when you look at your combat spatial and see 4,5,6 or more messages saying you countered an attack from a krayt, you figure up the damage you just prevented. If THAT isnt worth it, I dont know what is.

Thanks for the info. I will have to try it more often.
