Dueled some people today, noticed that some of the TKMs were Blocking while using VKs. Maybe I just never noticed it before, but do TKAs have a Block mod now? I know there is Defensive Acuity, but I though it was broke?
Thanks.

Yes tkms can block but you need pikeman to do that i believe... i am a tka 4 4 4 2 and pikeman 1 0 1 3 and i can block attacks but it doesnt work all the time.

Actually, I think it's more complex (and confusing) than that. Ilooked at a combat loga couple of days ago, and I noticedthat, with COB enabled,I dodged and counter-attacked. I expected dodge because I'm also a pistoleer. Counter-attack was a surprise because I don't have any CA skill mod whatsoever.It seems that our defence acuity allows us to dodge, block or counter-attack when centered, even if we don't have these skill mods. This only seems to happen with COB enabled. At least that's what my combat logs suggest. The other possibility, of course, is that the combat logs are bugged.

Actually, there is a mod you get as TK, forget what it is called, but it increases chance of blocking, dodging, or counterattacking. So it helps all three.

I think its defensive acuity or melee toughness or something like that. But yeah, we do have a block modifier.

TKM block to a sertain extent but you dont need Pikeman to do this as the pikeman Block only works when you equip a Pike

Yes,the skill mod that increasesthe probability of dodging, blocking or counter-attacking isDefence Acuity (or Defensive Acuity--whatever). The questions I had were:
1) Does DA rely on skill mods from other professions (pistoleer or fencer dodge, carbineer or swordsman counter-attack for example)
2)Does a higher dodge, CA or block skill mod make DA more effective?
3) Does DA only work with COB enabled?
It seems that the answers are Nofor 1) and 2), and Yes for 3), but having a definite answer would be nice.

My character is a TKM/Master Doc, and I do counter/block/dodge without CoB, but it is a little rare.
But when I have CoB on, my combat log shows that I am counter/block/dodgeing roughly 50-75% of ALL attacks from npc's. My character animation also shows it.
I have not tested it in PvP yet though...............

Nice post matey , now i remember see Thunderheart saying that Defence Acuilty is broken and does not work as it is intended so that would be some thing id like to see more about , ie how is it soposed to work , as to the way it is working now , as most Abilities like dodge counterattack anad block , only work when COB is running , so it would be nice to see how this is soposed to accuatuly work

In my experience using a VK or not does not matter, as I can do it withoutone.
