Armor master not stacking on XBOX1?Bug?

It's not stacking with hardened armor. Is this intended? If so this has to be the most useless 9strait set.

    It should stack. Armour Master gives a set amount buff to resistances and hardened give the major resistances buff.

    When you say it does not stack are you saying the total resistances do not go up when you pop both an armour skill and hardened while wearing Armour Master? Do you have screen shots?

    If it's intended it's not much of a big deal. Armour Master on a DK tank seems pretty pointless with Hardened Armour

    Just make sure when your checking that you aren't checking with Immovable because Immovable gives Major resistances buff so popping immovable and hardened gives the same major buff which you will only receive once. The Amour Master set gives a different buff so if you do hardened and then Armour skill you should see a boost if you do immovable and then hardened there will be no change.

    It's 5146 more of both resistances. Meaning you get 2 heartened wards pretty much, how is this useless other than it not stacking?

    Not useless, just unnecessary for most content. Overkill. And like the guy above was saying if you used unstoppable/immovable to proc armor master, they are the same buff(hardened and immovable). So maybe try and compare stats using shuffle or harness to proc armor master

    I disagree with it being overkill. The less you have to hold block the better. And I know buffs don't stack the armor master 5pc dosent say it gives major ward or resolve.... It simply says it Gives resistance to both spell and physical.

    It is the immovable buff that is the same. If you have no buffs then use immovable with armour master set on you should get the major buffs from immovable and the armour master buff of 5k. In other words you then don't need to use hardened because you already have the major buff from immovable so using hardened after immovable would look like you are not getting a further buff.

    Have you tested hardened using either the medium or light armour skills to proc Armour Master?

    It sounds like you don't know how Armour Master works then. Also, you said Hardened Armour in the opening post which is a DK skill, and then said Hardened Ward which is a sorc skill. Which is it?

    You have to use an armour skill to get the 5k resist. There are only three of them and one of them is immovable. I assume you mean hardened armour rather than ward.

    If you don't currently have an armour skill on your bar that is the reason why you are not getting the 5k.

    Are you using Hardened Armour assuming this will proc the 5 piece Armour Master? If so that is why you are not getting the boost. You need to use one of the three armour skills. Annulment, Evasion or Immovable. Put one of them on your bar and you will get the 5% health boost and use the skill to get the 5k resist buff.

    No response so I'm guessing that was it. All these people trying to help you with the limited information you gave, we found the problem and gave you the solution and no awesome or insightful for anyone... Damn, I'd do a Chappelle show Rick James Cold Blooded gif but I don't think even that would get a reaction :D

    Um... Your right!! I wouldn't have made this post if I knew. And I meant hardened armor, but I'm sure you knew that.

    hardened armor gives the 5% health boost... So I'm sure you can see my confusion. But ty for explaining I have to use the 3 armor skills to proc the resist buff.

    It's a useless set anyway. Having to spam immovable every how ever many seconds to hit resistance cap is not worth it. Tava's for a DK is a much better way to go.

    Np I'm happy to help.

    Weird you shouldn't be getting a max health boost from hardened armour you should just be getting a health recovery boost due to the DK passive.
