It wouldn't be the first time I've seen an MMORPG where a skill works for some folks and is broken for others

---

Agree

Note : I need to be buffed or have a combat medic behind me to fight the force sensitive hunter with the medium armor and 80% resists..CoB or not CoB.

I am now undecided on this subject. At first I saw -Any- damage mitigation move in my combat spam and I took that to be a good step. I tried out COB on some easy mobs, and I dodge blocked or CA 6 or so times in the fight against them, with them flat out missing a great number of times. After while though, and after more testing, it doesnt seem to work against those creatures it is so badly needed against. Here is my beef. CoB was supposed to be the solution to opening Melee fighters to the world of high level group fighting, and to reduce the need for pets. I have tried useing CoB against FS npcs, and there is no real difference from before. In its current incarnation for TKA CoB does not fulfill its intended purpose. If I were to enter a fight with say a Krayt dragon, I would now last perhaps a second longer, (im assuming buffed, but no healing), and this may be becuase our natural avoidance mech. are actually working(along with everybody elses)

What I want CoB to do.

1) Increase Avoid of some sort to 95% at Master Level(any brawler class)
2) Increase Mind usage of specials by a reasonable ammount(perhaps 10-20%) while under the influence of CoB to deter god like solo kills
3) Still allow specials to be used under CoB, as it would be to limiting otherwise
4) still allow unlimited reuse

any thoughts?

I logged some fights, I will post the result when I'll be back home.

The group : my atst ( he was not tanking but shooting from range ), a coward cat and a grand wrix against a FS crypt hunter with the medium armor and 80% resists. First fight was smooth and I won, second fight I get mangled because of huge mind hit.

Myself alone against an untrained force wielderdark sith ( no armor and 40% resist ), no major problem to win.

In my opinion, in his current state, a single TKM under CoB and with no combat medic or doctor behind him, will not works as good as a tanking pet such as a graul or rancor.

Anyway, I still get the system message for dodges, evades or counterattack whenI use CoB, so I guess Defense Acuity is working as well as CoB but not at the expected level of efficiency.

I hope to be able to post my log this evening.

"Please also keep in mind that the other three elite brawler's didn't all have 58 melee toughness, they also did not have +120 speed at master, nor the insane accuracy that you guys had. Also, their evasion mods did not occur as much as you'd like to believe. The bleeds and evasion mods were a trade off because they didn't have high toughness nor high accuracy."

It is acceptable if this is the way they wanted COB to work for TKA. TKA does have some bonues, but all of us are looking at a fencer dodge 90%+ of their attacks and we have 5-10% tops. On the outside it looks like we should be equal or close to it, not have one 10 times better. Some dev responce on how much we should actually be blocking and such would be very helpful, but all they can tell it is that it is fixed.

We will continue to call it broke until it works the way WE want it. Mainly because we have no idea on how good it is supposed to work. It might be that it is doing twice the bonus it should and fencers are getting 20 times the bonues they should. I highly doubt this but only the devs know and they aren't talking.

This forum is a piece of "merde", no "putain de bordel de merde" edit button !

I'm blown away by some posts.... I really think it works great. I go from getting hit nearly every time, to getting hit once in a while. Butits obvious others aren't seeing it.

So is there any Dev word on this yet ?

I dunno..... fs npcs, pvp, creatures low level, high level, maulers, rancors.... cob in every situation seemed to work for me...... unless your saying it should be working better?

I just read TH's patch notes post and it turns our Defensive Acuity is indeed a passive boost for TK's. Yay!

Knight, CoB is supposed to work much, much betterbecause it is our tanking skill. Quite honestly, all the data posted in this forum seem to indicate that CoB does boost melee/ranged defenses but does not boost our DA skill as it should. Basically, with CoB, you should avoid damage >90% of the time for 30s vs. a single target. This isn't happening, and anecdotes from PvP and group-encounter PvE (i.e., very high level PvE) suggest that TK CoB is not adequate for us to fill the tank role.

Don't misunderstand what most of us are asking for - all of us are quite happy with the TK's current defenses. But the fact remains that in situations where you must use CoB (or die), CoB simply doesn't work. You might get missed more often due to the melee/range buff, but you won't counter/evade/dodge more often...and this latter has to happen for CoB to work as advertised.

KnightHawk it depends on what you fight and basicaly if you fight anything you would accually need it for they hit you just fine.

For example in pvp, basically useless becasause high level specials get increased to hit mods, same with high level mobs and npc's

If i go at a gnort and /peace while COB ya great he can't touch me but my ham will regen on its own faster then he can kill me anyway
