Got a few questions about the TK abilities.
Center of Being, Power Boost, Armor Break
1) Can these abilities be use with armor on?
2) Can they be used while a weapon is in hand or do i need to be unarmed?
3) Will Vitality stack with Power Boost?
4) If Armor Break can be used with a weapon, whats the range on it? Same as the weapon range or a default range?
5) Whats the use/reuse timers on Center of Being?
Thanks

3) Will Vitality stack with Power Boost? Yes
4) If Armor Break can be used with a weapon, whats the range on it? Same as the weapon range or a default range? melee
5) Whats the use/reuse timers on Center of Being? CoB ~ 30 sec, Improved CoB ~ 45sec
Thanks

/meditate /powerboost vitality = ~+900hps, Should work?
Ranged weaponin hand, encounter target, unequip weapon, /improvedcenterofbeing, equip ranged weapon ; Should work?
and...
Ranged weapon + Armor Break = works?

CoB only works with melee, although the CoB un equip trick may be considered an exploit so be careful, as to armor break i am not sure

Heh thats far from an exploit, you need to spend the points to get the skill, you should use it how you want to. Spending skill points in more than one class was intentional.

Agree. CoB is part of Commando and Smuggler requirements...

Ranged weaponin hand, encounter target, unequip weapon, /improvedcenterofbeing, equip ranged weapon ; Should work? Definately
and...
Ranged weapon + Armor Break = works? Dont think so but will check

Of course. But why would you want to use armor with the 6k resist TK Innate Armor?
2) Can they be used while a weapon is in hand or do i need to be unarmed?
For PB you must be meditating which just needs to be sitting, then meditate and PB. AB you can have any melee weapon equipped.
3) Will Vitality stack with Power Boost?
I'm sure it does.
4) If Armor Break can be used with a weapon, whats the range on it? Same as the weapon range or a default range?
Same as weapon range IIRC.
5) Whats the use/reuse timers on Center of Being?
45 seconds for Improved, not sure about the basic.
Thanks

- Template:
MBH+TKM+Novice Smuggler (+some force sensitive points)
1) Can these abilities be use with armor on?
- Used...but Innate Armor and defenses fall dramatically
2) Can they be used while a weapon is in hand or do i need to be unarmed?
- Tested - cannot be used...see above technique for a work around -or- Use Dualist Stance While you cannot return fire on meleetype attacks, you do get the +160 of both defenses (I use a similar macro to my CoB macro when fighting unarmed)
3) Will Vitality stack with Power Boost?
- Tested-Confirmed from ham 3100 - 4400
4) If Armor Break can be used with a weapon, whats the range on it? Same as the weapon range or a default range?
- Tested...Helps to armor break and then deal damage, but I find switching from tk to bh fighting style very dizzying
5) Whats the use/reuse timers on Center of Being?
- I can confirm the above answer...check the icon on improved dualist stance for your times

I tested all those last night, the CoB does work like said but according to the actual write up on the "L" screen it says it only works with a melee weapon. You can un equip and use it, then reequip and it works for the short duration.
As for Armor Break, its very buggy. To use you need to be in melee range and be unarmed. Sometimes it will let you equip the weapon right away and sometimes it wont. Even the times i used it it seemed to not affect the damage i was doing. Probably due to the mobs i was fighting were CL35 and me bing CL74 at the time of test.
In either case, i dont find it relyable enough. The whole weapon change was really bugged. Maybe a macro would make it work better, maybe i was clicking too many times and i was equipping and unequiping. I dont lag at all so who knows.
