Smith of Kitava - Smith's Masterwork

the skill is buggy!

well, maybe i am stupid also but here is how i understand it:

the noteables that you can chose should be connected to the one that is free but makes it so that you can only wear white armour.
i have allocated 2 points just now and in my mind i should get 400 extra armour (i have 0% inc armour atm) when i look at my body armour it says it has 100ish armour, if i unequip the armour i also only loose 100ish armour.

so what i am trying to say is that i dont get any +200 armour from the passive, also the notable nolonger connect to each other (example: 25% phys taken as fire no longer connects with smiths masterwork)


hope that helped clarifing

Very same bug, seems like they forgot to add this while reworking.
I am also experiencing this bug. No bonus armor received from using Smith's Masterwork and equipping a Normal Body Armour (according to the character tab)

+1 same thing
+1

TECHNICALLY, it's working as it's written. Smith's Masterwork says:
"+200 Armour for each CONNECTED notable passive skill allocated"
They just removed all "connections" from Smith's Masterwork in the patch for some reason.
Same thing here, maybe the nodes are not "connected" in the code
well hello guys, i use the downtime to sadly say.... it is actually working, just not how we expected it to be

go completly naked and you see you have the armour, meaning you dont get it added to your bodyarmour as one would expect, but instead you get it like the very first passive note you can take as warrio (20 armour) it basicly is active on you all the time


personaly i think it is super wasted as this disables any form of thorns build with smith again... (thorns based on amount of armour from boddy armour noteable for example) aswell as other passives like x% increased armour on body armour.

so even if we were to put all the points into the body armour, we only get 1600 flat, still will never compete with a crafted mid body armour

i honestly think ggg at this point dont want smith of kitava to be good at anything
This is working as intended, the armour gets added to the global armour pool not your body armour

Just to be clear, that 1600 does not include the white body itself which can have up to around 1000 in best case. That is lower than perfect crafted, sure, but the modifiers you have added are quite juiced.
1600 if you have all 4 ascendancys in that section, yes. global armour thouhg, not body armour armour.
