Been playing the Katari for a bit in MP and just unlocked the purple Deathbringer's hide. I have unlocked several other higher tier armour on other characters and they have a different skin to the original ones they come with, yet the Katari doesn't. Am I being blind and its the most tiny detail, some bug? or simply that he doesnt have "better" looking armour? I like to play the character, but damn he is one ugly buggar. His voice is really weird too

Yea there is about half a dozen threads saying katari's and necromancer's tier 2 armour looks the same as tier 1:P

[TJBain]

I've unlocked Deathbringer armor as well and that was my first thought, looks the same. On the other hand The Elementalist's tier 2 looks awesome.

A BWE employee confirmed in another thread that the necro and katari tier2 armors are visually bugged.. will be fixed.

Is it just a visual bug or is the tier3 katari armor bugged period?  My katari is squishier than my assassin, 1 arrow in routine will drop a full guard + about 20% health from my lvl 20 katari.  That seems so very very wrong.

I've been hit for 450 from an arrow in routine on my Assassin.  I don't think the issue is your armor.

That's probably that long draw skill or whatever it's called, or their little backstep instafire that is massively overpowered damage, but I'm just talking about a regular arrow pluck.  I feel my Katari is the squishiest out of all my classes.

[Azrus]

Yeah, it was the backstep insta-fire.  That seems extreme for a random arrow.  I honestly couldn't say, I haven't spent that much time with Katari.  There's one way to find out though.  Throw on your base level armor, go get smacked by a mob (make sure the hits are coming from either the front, or rear consistently so you're not getting conflicting results due to flanking) and get a feel for how hard they're hitting you.  Then swap to the armor you think might be bugged and repeat the test.  I'd recommend trying it out on a base-level enemy as I'd expect they won't have much armor pen.  Enemies such as the Venatori Gladiator have got pretty high armor pen.  At any rate, if you're taking less damage after swapping then it was just Archer craziness.  If you're taking more, then the armor is probably bugged.

Both katari and reaver take a lot of damage from arrows. Oddly enough, kataris unique armor has the highest amount of armor of any class currently available. That, and +ranged defense upgrades are pretty much a must for katari, you're just gonna have a really bad time without them. Luckily, I found a common lvl 20 maul with +16% ranged defense lol,

 

Guard on katari is nowhere near as powerful as on legio or templar. On threatening, even with all my ranged defense, an arrow takes a bit more than half of my full guard. It's just a tiny bit of an extra health buffer.

Yeah that's cause the Katari doesn't have the 20% Turn the blade or 50% turn the bolt passives. All of which work 'before' Armor. Defenses don't so it's kinda less... useful. I mean Turn the Bolt will half arrow dmg, as well as Turn the Blade if the arrows hitting you in the face, then your armor kicks in and can really lower that dmg. Katari has like 2 defensive passive, 20% armor boost which.. isn't much, and no flank dmg on them. Which is nice, but... yeah no 'most armor' doesn't mean jack if you don't have that 20% Turn the Blade. Least Reaver has rampage... well when its not glitching on you.

I'm convinced turn the bolt is the best passive in the game.  Ok, well not as good as fade shield but it wants to be.

Yeah, when you consider that armor rating grants a flat damage reduction, which appears to be a 1:1 ratio for MP, +20% armor boost really doesn't grant much of a bonus.  Especially when the benefit of it decreases the more damage your target deals prior to armor rating reducing the damage.
