All player run tests to this point have shown Defensive Acuity, and thusly CenterOfBeing, to provide little to no benefit when used. Are these two abilities working as intended, and if not, what is the future of these two abilities for TKAs.
Defensive Acuity and CenterOfBeing are working, but like the original intent for “tumbling”, changes in the game since those two abilities were put in the game have really caused them to be ineffective tools at the high end of combat. These are two very important melee considerations for the combat balance. A melee artist’s ability to defend him or herself in a galaxy that is focused on ranged combat is a tricky thing. We want it to make sense in that a melee artist has a solid role in combat party make-up and to give the melee artist the tools they need to survive when they aren’t part of a larger combat unit.

Defensive Acuity is a Teräs Käsi specific defense modifier that allows us a chance to Dodge, Block, OR Counterattack our opponent. Basically it works as follows:
Opponent attacks TKA. Opponent succesfully "hits" TKA. TKA rolls to see if they make a "save" (the game handles all "rolls"). If the roll is succesful then another roll occurs to see if the TKA Dodges, Blocks or Counterattacks.
For Other Professions the second roll never takes place. Their "save" type is predetermined by the weapon they are holding (Dodge for Fencers and Pistoleers, Block for Riflemen and Pikemen, and Counterattack for Carbineers and Swordsmen).
Yes they were pulled before they hit live Servers. Yes they will be back in the game eventually (Official word is after the Combat Balance).

They DO NOT work per the Developers.
Official information on Unarmed Damage and Caps - 26 Oct 2004

Unarmed Damage Attachments do not work. The Issue is known to the Developers, and will be corrected with the Combat Upgrade (per the Developers themselves).
Hard Caps are on Dodge, Block, Counterattack, Melee Defense, and Ranged Defense of +125, which can be reached through a combination of skills and tapes/attachments. The only things that will help beyond the +125 cap are Chef Foods and Squad Leader Bonuses.
Current Testing Thread.
Center of Being Tested new results...
- Defensive Acuity Has No Counterpart and Therefore Does Not Stack.
- Ranged and Melee Defense Stacks up to +125.
- Defense Versus States Does Stack.
- Dodge, Block, and Counterattack are Tied to The Weapon You are Using, and Therefore Do Not Benefit TKs.

I had a +25 unarmed damage looted bandolier and I can say I noticed no difference what so ever. I know this wont make much sense but my damage actually DECREASED while wearing it *shrugs* was really odd. I was hitting for harder and had a better average of having a high damage shot without it on.

Question:
When running a COB macro, our dodge/counterattack/blokc rates go up. We do them a fair bit, while Center of being'd.
Does anyone have the resources to check and see if I + to dodge/counterattack/block CA/AA would increase the amount of blocks etc we do???
It would be pretty easy if you had 3 pieces of armor, one with +10 dodge, one with +10 block, and one with +10 counterattack.
Just a thought for testing...

TKA does not do dodge/block/counterattack. We have a 4th kind of defense called Defense Acuity. Defense Acuity can imitate block, dodge, or counterattack but isn't the same thing. Bonuses to those other skills are meaningless to a TKA. Read the first post above, where it talks about stacking, it specifically states that.
