I tried searching through old posts, but they kept giving me threads on med CENTER and test CENTER. /sigh Even when I had "Center of Being" in quotes.
I have no idea what Center of Being does, and there is no mention of it in the TKA FAQ either.
Please, someone, tell me what this does and if it is worth using!!
Thanks!

I would like to know as well. I just found that option/skill today and tried it out. I did notice that after I issued that option, my mind bar hardly moved at all. Where as before with my normal attack routine on Savage Quenekers, without mind buffs, my mind would be half or less than half after two Quens. So it looked to me that Center of Being helps to keep the mind sharp. :-)
Ho...

Center of Being is a skill given to all the melee classes. It is basically a self-buff to your defense that allows you to become harder to hit by mobs that you aren't attacking. It lasts a number of seconds equal to your skill mod Length rating and has an effectiveness equal to your Center of Being Efficiency skill mod.
Keep in mind that on a one-on-one fight, it is mostly ineffective, it's only real use is crowd control.

Nope.
CoB increase you chance to either dodge, evade or counterattack an attack from a target which you are engaged with or not. It has nothing to do with crowd control.
Threads about CoB have been posted numerous times on the TK board.
Edit : and CoB is mean to be effective in 1 vs 1 fight.
Note : CoB is currently concidered as a broken skill for TKA

CoB have allways worked for me. Makes me much harder to hit and I think it is effective in 1vs 1.
But CoE also lower you secondary mind stats so its not good to use it in all situations.

CoB "seems to work" (I had mitigated result )but from the various tests that has been made when the skill was implemented the effectiveness is very low or it doesnt work at all for some players.
The TK correspondant is aware of it and forwarded the issue to the Dev ( same with Def Acuity ).

Yeppers, it either only just barely works(not making it worth the expense to use it) or doesn't work at all. Which it is is still up in the air, but either way, its not very useful to a tka. The reason is not because center of being is broken though, its a side effect because our defensive mod "defensive accuity" that CoB is supposed to boost, is either extremely weak, or doesn't work at all. Thus, CoB is fairly weak.
Center of Being is extremely useful though for the other melee professions and does work really well for them.
