So my question is, what does defensive acuity for the TK actually do? I heard that it somehow combined the dodge/counterattack/block you had from the other melee proffesions, and that the CoB enhances this ..... I also heard some people saying its sometihng different boosting your melee defense (defensive acuity that is).
So what does defensive acuity actually do, and what does the TKs CoB affect?
Also, if it actually does use the secondary defenses from other melees, will me getting + attachments in other melees also make my TKA defense better that way?
thx

well its been broken for ahwile now, aka not working. But since patch 10, i have actually noticed myself blocking, dodging and counter attacking quite often, they might have ninja fixed it. COB enhanced you ranged/melee defs, and chance to block/counter/dodge by 50%

So defensive acuity mixes all of the secondary defenses into one?
I just cant help thinking about waht would happen if you would have +25 attachments to dodge/block/counterattck ... and have CoB on. If defensive acuity boosts all of these, than you would get tons of secondary defense! Would prolly not work tho, something would be bugged lol.

Got this from the FAQ
_______________________
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.
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.
_______________________
aswell as this
_______________________
Defenses That Stack
- 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.
______________________
So does this mean that TKAs have their own dodge, block and counterattack stats? And that if you have dodge from fencer or counterattack from swordsman, it doesnt do anything to upgrade your acuity? If they are tied to the weapon you are using, howcome I dodge, block and counterattack with my TKM ? There is something contradictory in that FAQ!

If they are tied to the weapon you are using, howcome I dodge, block and counterattack with my TKM ? - Because Defensive Acuity gives you a chance to do one of the three, and Defensive Acuity is tied to Unarmed and VKs.
There is something contradictory in that FAQ! - Nope, afraid not.

Yes. Chef Foods will help anyone, but you will not have another modifier that it stacks with if you are using TK. Basically we have no way to increase our DA skills at this time, which is why it has been one of our issues for a long time now.
There has been a large misconception about what Defensive Acuity actually does, and many still believe that Dodge, Block, and Counterattack do indeed help, so I'm not surprised the TK who taught you thought the same. Glad to have helped clarify for you though

I Guess it isnt contradictory, but the way I was told bythe TKM who thought me the master box, is that acuity takes from the defenses you have from other proffesions, thx for clearing this up for me.
Would taking aircake (I think thats its name) give us additional defense? And are there defense acuity attachments? If not all other melees have a chance to improve their defense through attachments wheras TKs dont. (since we cant use dodge/block/counterattack attachments)

A TEF to who? If he's imp does that mean rebels can attack him? If so what if an Imp BH wants a go?

Though it's off-topic, the TEF is to everyone, including members of his own faction. In fact, that TEF was in the game at one point but was removed.
