This is a test of a TKM and a Master Heavy Swordsman being shot at by someone else holding a CDEF carbine.

TKM = Shot 23 times, got hit 7 times, dodged once, counterattacked twice.

MHS = Shot 23 times, hit once, counterattacked 22 times.

This is with them both centered.


WHAT THE F....???!

I am 2/3/4/3 tka and i dodge/counter/block in pve about once every 20 or so hits, maybe, and when centered about 1/10 or so...this is just wrong!

Keep these reports comming. If upon further testing we're still not seeing this fixed, I'll go back to the devs.

Grrrrr.

Wow god forbid swordsman have some kind of advantage over the most popular and most played melee proffesions. OH What will we do!

I have no trouble with fencers having an advantage, but dodging twice instead of 22 times sounds like something is still broken.

Its not that they have an advantage, but a 10% gain from a skill that uses 200+ mind is horrible. For those few hits it saves I'd rather use a stim than have to recharge CoB ever 20-30 seconds. It is going to kill be long before it saves me.

3 vs 22 is far from just a slight advantage to the swordsman.

The reason why everyone is going TKA is because everyone on this board was advertising the great new things on the TC, while the other melee professions were still thinking they got screwed again and everyone saw that. If TKA is still the "best", it is not very far above fencer and swordsman. My friends Fencer can rip though most anything and he is not close to master yet.

ya, tested it with a friend (also tka) we couldnt see the advantage to it. burns to much mind for little defence it gives.

Was this testing done today? Because supposedly a patch headed down to us today that fixes Center of Being for TKA.

The key word is supposedly... however in doing my own testing right after servers came up (being a long time EQ player has made me skeptical about supposed patch fixes) CoB for TKA is still broken, and Swordsmen and Fencers are still dodging/counter attacking 95% of all hits on them while CoBed.

On one hand i'm glad that fencers, swordsmen & pikemen get some loving from the devs, on the other hand... i wish we wouldn't be broken.

Ah well...

I was ripped apart by Cho-Mak just yesterday!! fencers are probaly one of the most if not the most underestimated melee classes in the game. Everyone only seems to see one side of the coin, which is sad since I really do think Fencers are an awesome class.

I tested this as well this morning and CoB does not seem to be doing much of anything at all.

I've reported that to the devs and I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear something.

this is the test i did. it was this morning

he hits me 22 times succesfully. counterattack/dodge 5 times. he misses me once. that is a total of 28 swings at me.

all of this is when CoB is on. he is 1 box from tka master, i am tka master.

this isnt right. i only dodge for 17.857% of the time? not right.

It sounds like they DID fix COB, but did not fix defensive acuity. That would explain the results of the test.

Yeah same result here, I only dodge/counter/block only a low percentage of hit when using CoB, seems it s not been fixed correctly. Also without using CoB, never got dodge/counter/block an attack
