I noticed yesterday while testing some armor damage differences that on a warrior / tank class if you take damage from the front on a basic melee enemy on the lowest difficulty it was an average of about 6 damage when they hit you in the front.  If you turn around and take damage in the back the same attacks were doing 1 damage.  I didn't have the Chevalier (spelling) perk that lowers flanking damage.

 

I'm wondering if the character models are off.  It would explain why warrior / tanks are so squishy to archers when moving into battle.  I would think it should be the other way around.

 

I tested this on the Legionnaire and Katari on XBOX ONE

Well, if you have Your Shield up and position Yourself correctly as a legionnaire you can just Block Archers and gain guard. Throw in an AOE taunt and let everyone else take care of the Archers while you tank the big stuff.

I know this isnt an answer to you question/issue, but atleast its a way to survive any amount of Archers you can meet on Your travels.

It's a known issue, the bug has been reported.

 

There are 2 kinds of armor value: Front and normal. Normal armor applies to your flanks and back while Front armor apply on front. The theory is that you get basic armor all around and more on front. The problem is Front armor doesn't get any benefit from bonus armor (items, abilities, passives, potions, etc.). You can get up to 1000 armor but you'll still be stuck with 22 on front, thus you'll be hit for 350 damage on front, but kissed with 1 damage on the cheeks of your rear end...

 

It's not like armor is an important mechanic in this game, right?

Where's that Captain Picard facepalm image when you need it?

Thanks for the heads up.  It makes sense why the beefier classes are so terrible now!!  Glad someone else noticed it was happening as well.

Because one wasn't enough.
