Sorry if that seems like a stupid question but I am new to Tera Kasi and melee in general. I know that CoB has something to do with your defenses but I'm curious as to what it does exactly and just how vital it is to surviving a PVP encounter. Could someone shed some light on the subject for me?

It is a skill mod that *supposedly* increases the chance of your opponent missing you. Or that could be defensive acuity... well at any rate, it either does what I said or increases your chances of blocking/dodging/couterattacking. It is best to have it in a macro if you have full buffs and have access to mind stat enhancement.

/ui action clearCombatQueue;
/center;
/pause 32;
/macro center;

that is mine.

Yeah, it ups your chance of using your current weapons default defense. i.e. Dodge if you are a fencer etc...it is suppose to up our chance of using defensive acuity (which should be all 3 dodge, block, counterattack) but that whole system seems sort of borked for us.

There are reports that ranged weapon users can use their center of being if they have it from some other melee prof they have and it working effectively for them...

I've got fencer and pistoleer and COB will not work when I have a pistol, even though both fencer and pistoleer use dodge.

It used to be possible to quickly equip a fencer weapon, use COB, and switch back to a pistol, but with the equipment change delay you can't really do that anymore.

Remember, Center of Balance falls under 4 categories... Unarmed COB, One Handed COB, Two Handed COB, and Polearm COB. Check your skills page sometime and look at the skill bonuses. It's pretty clear that COB is limited to melee professions only.
