Thread: When is our CoB getting fixed?
Reading the other forums it seems like a great skill. Too bad it's not working for us.

Works fine for me, I use it and don't seem to get hit at all for the 30 seconds it's on.
What's your other profession? Does it have something like dodge, counterattack or block in it?
ya im not getting it to work all that great either.
It does work to a degree though. but great, its not great, in fact its about 1/3 effective as a swordsman CoB....if that.
defensive moves dont' work as a tk right now i'm convinced. yesterday i was a master carbineer, and with my +105 counterattack, and +96 defensive accuity, and cob on, i counter-attacked 0 times in 5 different cob trials. i don't think it's possible that i'm that unlucky. and without using cob, i didn't counterattack anything. ever. not once in 2 hours of fighting.
i was going to leave carbineer anyway, because i wanted to pursue fencer + tk combo, as i fancy myself as more of a melee fighter than a ranged fighter (although carbine is my favorite of the 3 elite ranged, and i've played them all). anyway, the +105 ca not working for me as tk kind of sealed the deal.
but in answer to the thread-starter's question, i wouldn't expect it to be fixed ''soon''. instead i would expect that they ''are looking into it'', so get comfortable, it could be awhile 
well i think its clear that our defensive acuity and CoB do not work
i would even go as far to say as our extra damage mods do not work either. i dont know about you guys, but seriously i have loged my damgage before the patch, with worse knucklers then i use now, and i was doing more recorded damage back then, then i am now.
Maybe you have to have VKs equipped for it to work. I read a lot of people who say it is working as TK. Possibly vks are the key,or something. I don't think as a Tk you will "block" with COB on. I think that they will simply miss more.

i'll be clear hopefully this helps hehe
it works, but at best its broken, and at worst its waste of ham. I do notice some absorb percentages , but nothing as to what fencers and swordsman have. I mean duel a swordsman and test it out, you hit the swordsman for like 15 20 damage, with an absorb of around 90% of your total dmg.
the swordsman hits you and its like butter, in fact i could compare it like this.
CoB for tk=rice paper
CoB for fencer/swordsman=iron plates
i see it working like a 10% absorb, mobs i should be able to super tank like a swords, i still get just hammered by.
it might be working, but it surely is just plain broken.
well im elaberating, perhaps its a placebo. it seems to help, but compared to what everyone else has, its broken.
there has been some tests done and those tests say that it does absolutly nothing what so ever.
Then again if you duel someone with no skill in combat, they miss the back side of the bard 24/7 on you , and ive witnessed this. so it could work in a very limited way, but as far as it is concerned with what other melles have, its nothing at all.
