Did I miss something in the notes about CoB being fixed in patch 10?
I was doing some Mokk missions today, and thought, "Hey, I think I'm going to try CoB outand test the difference with/without...." I turned it on(for the first time in probably 8 months), and to my surprise, I blocked, evaded, or counterattacked every other move(sometimes more) from the Mokks.
I'm not fencer, but my friend is a fencer/tkm and said his TKA CoB now worksalmost as good as his fencer's.
He did a test on it: In a certain amount of time, his fencer dodged or didn't get hit by 9 shots from a rifleman. Then he did it with TKA. In that same amount of time, he dodged/countered/blocked 8 shots from the rifleman.
Turn it on and you will block, counter, and evade/dodge as much as the other professions now, go try it out.

First:
I thought ALL CoB were broken, not just TKA.
Second:
I really don't know why people gripe about CoB all the time. Everytime I use it I see a very distinct increase in my dodge/counter/block versuses when I don't use it. No hard data on it, though maybe I'll try fixing something up, cause I swear CoB works (at least somewhat) for me better than what most people say.

"I thought ALL CoB were broken, not just TKA."
LOL... No... Why do you think everyone decided to go Fencer all of a sudden a few months back?

I have not heard of a fix, but I'll definitely test it when I get a chance to log on this evening.
Anyone else who tests please post the results in this thread so we keep it all together.

Not a real test, just a couple fights against Giant Sandbeetles. All hits taken without CoB were in melee, some of the hits taken with CoB were at range, so that skews the hit/miss ratio somewhat due to my less than stellar ranged defense:
Without CoB:
Attacks: 54
Hits: 28
Misses: 24
Evade: 1
Block: 0
Counterattack: 1
With CoB:
Attacks: 37
Hits: 18
Misses: 12
Evade: 2
Block: 3
Counterattack: 2
Still, without CoB out of 30 hits 2 were evaded/counterattacked, with CoB out of 25 hits 7 were evaded/blocked/counterattacked. Not too bad.

CoB = Center of Being
It's a skill that comes with each melee combat style that increases your ability to evade attacks for a short time.
It improves defensive acuity for TKA, dodge for Fencer, counterattack for Swordsman, and block for Pikeman.
By the way, I was using a CoB macro today and kept checking my combat log. I barely evaded anything. I'm a TKM and master brawler, so my CoB bonuses are as high as you can get.
I briefly switched over to pistoleer and dodged 4 attacks in a row, it was like a dance. And of course that was without CoB.
