Thread: Reason CoB doesn't work for TKA.
This is why I figure CoB doesn't work for TKA.
Defensive Acuity says it increases the chance of responding to a successful attack with a dodge, block, or counter-attack, right? Well considering that the TKA tree doesn't grand a single point of dodge, block, or counter-attack, theres nothing there for defensive acuity to work for. We don't even have the smallest amount of dodge, block, or counter-attack so how can defensive acuity increase our chances of doing that?
When I was Master Fencer and TKM at the same time, I couldn't be touched using CoB with a 1h sword. I had 136 melee defense, 105 dodge, and 96 defensive acuity. I played around with CoB with a Master Heavy Swordsman. When both of us swung with our swords on CoB, dodge or counter-attack worked a good 80-90% of the time. When using CoB with TKA, I didn't dodge a single attack even with the +105 dodge skill mod.
I would say the devs didn't think Defensive Acuity through, since we have no skill mods for defensive acuity to work for, making the Precision line popular for other professions like pistoleers.
well...ive never gotten it to work, but i just figured it was because im a wookie. thats usualyt he base for most broken aspects about myself hehe
I don't understand why you say Cob doesn't work....when I was dueling a friend to try out CoB, I dodged, evaded or counterattacked several times ( more than witout CoB ), normal shot and special move shot as well.
I don't say the skill is working as the community is expecting , ie : made us able to tank high end npc but from what I witness with my character, under CoB my chance to dodge, evade etc is improved.
I'm playing my way up TKA on Test Center now.
without using CoB, at unarmed 2... I'm dodging/blocking/countering at a fair rate. this should be the fix we were looking for.
