From the description when you hover over the skill it is supposed to improve your chance to dodge/counter attack/block. TKA doesn't get any of these defensive skills, will defensive acuity even help us at all?

Does this skill actually work yet? I've gone through a lot of combat spam and havent seen a single Dodge, Counter-Attack, or Block. Though critters seem to miss me a lot(100+ melee defense), it seems like I'm not gaining anything from Acuity. I remember the Rep said they were aware it was broken and that it was fixed, but I still havent come across any Dodging etc.. except when the chubas do it.

well id figure since TK doesn't get Block,Dodge or Counter-attack skill modsit would be kind of hard to do them

I was under the impression that the idea was that instead of just one, like fencers dodge, we would get all three, but with a lower bonus. So defensive acuity would do one of the three kinds of hit preventions, but would be less likely to work (ie we have +96, fencer gets +105 i believe)

/wave


Could anyone explain defensive acuity to me? I know that it increases the chance to dodge, block, or counterattack, but how much exactly?


Is there a set amount that 1 point of defensive acuity would raise ones chance to dodge/block/counterattack?


Thanks in advance!

Hmm I just thought, won't defensive acuit and CoB not work for us be we dont have any defensive skill mods for them to work with... we dont have Dodge, Counterattack oranything like that. AlthoughI think we should.. we are martial artists. Defensive Acuit and CoB are supposed to work with these and people wonder why they are broken... well we don't have the skills to work with it... btw sorry if this was said already...

AFAIK,

Defensive Acuity is not supposed to modify block, dodge or counterattack, it is supposed to be a replacement for them. Theoretically it should give a chance of doing either one of the three defense styles. The problem is that it appears to simply be broken at the moment.

It (with Center of Being) is number one on our list of issues, and I will keep chasing on the correspondent forums until we get an answer.

it says it increases your chance to dodge counterattack or block, does anyone know by how much? any numbers...

btw this shows that 'stacking' defenses is not an exploit, this verifys even that the game was designed with some stacking in mind..considering rifleman are the only ones who block, swordsman/carbineers counterattack, and fencers/pistoleers dodge.

I've read the posts I could find on Defensive Acuity and they all seem to say it's broken.

However, last night when I was fighting, I noticed at least one time in the Combat log that I Counterattacked. I do not have this skill from any other professions (Smuggler/Pistoleer/Merchant/Scout/TKA), so it must have come from Defensive Acuity, right?
