Thread: When is our CoB getting fixed?
Exactly its supposed to Dodge, block, counterattck, or cause missed at a rate of 94% of the attacks when you use it at master.
Its clearly not working, but it is supposed to increase the effectivness of defence accuity, now i have yet to block counter or dodge anything so i say defence accuity is busted and since that is the base of COB it doens't work also.
Now if your a swordsman/tka it might be working because you get counterattack from swordsman tree for COB to amplify
I don't know, maybe because it's a melee skill that is supposed to help with "tanking" and TKA is a melee class?
Since when has skill description had any correlation to actual effect in SWG?
Master Teras Kasi
Eclipse
No other melee skills
i'm yet to block, dodge or counter attack anything. i havent seen the words in my combat window since the patch
it ALSO has a seperate line of 'unarmed CoB'.
and it isn't working with VK's, which ARE a melee weapon that uses the unarmed skill.
and the descriptions mean nothing. have you looked at the tier 4 skill titles? still haven't been fixed from beta.
bare hands IS a melee weapon.
when you pick a mission, which checks against your skill with your equipped weapon to pull mission difficulty, you do not have to equip your vibroknucks to get an appropriate leveled mission. rather, your fists are your weapon, and having no other weapon equipped means that by default your fists are equipped.
don't take it so literally. while it is somewhat silly to think of someone ''equipping'' their fists, you have to consider that this is a program, not a person. there are defaults and null values and all sorts ofchecks that needs to exist, but doesn't necessarily make practical sense.

Just FYI CoB is not working now on TC either. I did not find any changes to the hit rate, and absolutely no dodges, evades, counterattacks, or anything like that with CoB on.
I'll continue to keep this at the front of the Dev's Attention as much as possible.
well if im not mistaken CoB does take defense melee/ranged into consideration, so that our trargets hit us less often based on their levels ofcourse.
if this is true then CoB is only partly working, but not working as intended.
i have noticed increase misses when i use CoB. the equivilant to an additional 10% absorb
I have tried this extensively over the weekend. I have a 104 melee defense, 80 block, and defensive acuity of 97 during the trials. (Rifleman/TKA)
Melee defense works as advertised.
I did not block at all. Zero times over 8+ hours of play. this is with rifle, VK and unarmed.
CoB seemed to give increased chance of miss,however, over the course of play it factored out to a less than 5% difference than just melee defense.
As an aside, the description specifies "with melee weapon equipped" so you know it will not work with ranged weapons. (that would be horrible for everyone)
