War Horn gives a 100% chance of fear on command.  Grisly Mutation gives 20% chance of fear on kill.  Grisly Mutation is not as dependable as War Horn. Personally, I would rather have a guranteed chance of fear when I need it as a defensive measure than to rely on a 20% chance of fear on kill.  I'm not a big fan of Combat Roll. 

 

If Guard damage has zero usefulness and 20% fear is infinitely times more useful... infinity times zero is still zero.  There are passives that absolutely change the way characters play.  On the Assassin, 100% critical chance while stealthed, stealth reset on kill, and 50% damage to isolated enemies completely change what the Assassin is capable of doing.  There are plenty of other passives in this game that while helpful, do not make or break the character.  These passives that we are discussing do not make or break the Katari. 

 

You do make a point, that with all the passive Stamina regen that the upgrade to Charging Bull may not be needed and could be better spent on another passive elsewhere. I'll have to experiment.  I'm still playing around with passives.

Yeah, I agree the passives are not that valuable, but I feel war horn vs combat roll is where the debate should be at. We only have 4 ability slots ^^

 

The short cooldown on charge and the aoe of mighty blow means normal mobs are never an issue to katari, while war horn cannot fear most of the dangerous enemies. Combat roll works against every enemy and is just fantastic for bosses and chest guardians. Even without the +25% threat passive I am constantly taking aggro from the bigger enemies, acting as an evasion tank and being very useful for my team. War horn may give your team a bit more breathing room when **** hits the fan but grisly mutation and the CC of both charge and mighty blow serves the same purpose. Combat roll allows you to take pot shots at dangerous enemies to keep aggro when charge and mighty blow are on cooldown. Also, demon commander. Combat roll just has so many uses.

 

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Coup de Grace (30% damage bonus to enemies that are knocked down).

I think everybody can agree on that passive being an absolute must because of charge and mighty blow

I'm on my third play through with the Katari. 

 

Whirlwind is "fun" but ultimately you end up spinning around in the middle of the battlefield not being to terribly effective getting shot at from all directions.   It is nice if you can combine it with a skill that groups enemies together.  However, I feel like there are better offensive moves the Katari has than Whirlwind and the skill slot/skill points would be better utilized with a different skill.  But by all means, use what works for you.

 

Mighty Blow does BONUS damage to knocked down enemies.  Charging Bull knocks down enemies.   Charging Bull > Mighty Blow is VERY, VERY, VERY effective.  IF you have the Gore and Trample upgrade, this cast of Mighty Blow does not cost you stamina.

 

Earthshaking Strike is a powerful AoE attack that hits twice, once on the initial impact and then again when the fire erupts in a 12 m line which also puts a DoT on any enemy that walks though it. 

 

You charge in with Charging Bull, knock enemies over, mighty blow them on the ground, follow up with an earthshaking strike.  At this point you are probably surrounded by enemies, with only a little bit of guard from Charging Bull.  You are out in the middle, exposed with Charging Bull-Mighty Blow-Earthshaking Strike on cool down.  Use War Horn to make the enemies around you to panic, not attack you during the 3-4 second window in which you are exposed while you wait on the 8 second cool down of Charging Bull.  As soon as it comes back, Charge into the nearest remaining enemy for a little more guard, to knock them over and finish the group.

 

I find this very, very fun.

 

I have an HD PVR.  When I get my Christmas Bonus I plan on buying my gf a laptop.  When this happens, I'll be able to record my gameplay.  I'll make a video.  Give me a few weeks.
