Bump for bioware
What do you expect them to do man? Katari might need some looking into but they aren't going to do a complete overhaul of combat mechanics. He's not going to mitigate from facetanking everything as well as the SnB Warriors. Katari mitigates from knockdowns/burst damage/Guard building in about that order. Experiment with To the Death if you want more Guard.

Diablo 3 gives it's barbarian a built in % dmg reduction because I'm sure they encountered the same issue
well that's because Blizzard is a better company that cares about balance

People are scared to use To the Death with the Katari and expect Charging Bull and Block and Slash to mitigate everything.
no its just that they are insufficient for keeping him alive

I think the reason Legio is potent is his abilities generally. CS lets you auto-counter meleers and has built in CC + a full guard bar even out of combat, WF is obviously amazing. You can pretty easily cycle between the two, using CS on just melee enemies and War Cry + WF on diverse groups.
Don't get me wrong, his armour can be shredded, but he has so many ways to consistently gain it AND draw Agro. The other comparative class - Templar - doesn't really have that. She gets a few decent buffs, but that's about it. Katari is the least defined role - he has *some* Aoe damage [whirlwind], *some* single target damage, very little armour generation, no built in Life-steal or other survival mechanic that I'm aware of.
And Reaver is entirely dependant on CC vs melee warriors, otherwise she will just get parried and die. She also doesnt generate armour, as far as I know, so she's more of a high DPS character that's great in threatening because she can tank multiple enemies and take out entire groups quickly due to her LS and burst, but you'd be better taking assassin on Perilous as there's too much incoming burst damage for reaver to generally do her role properly.
I'd say out of all the variants the best performing in-role melee character is generally Legio, so it's the other 3 that need to be looked at.
