They do jus' reach that bit further, and they hit that much harder...they have solid def and decent life...they're beasts at what they do, but still not worth the sheer amount of extra effort and upkeep for them (in my humble opinion) when you coudl jus' use Rams instead.

Cata's did used to be better, but they became a pretty god-mode weapon that only lucky amulet-runners, high lvl NPC raiders or CS'rs could get any sizable amount of "whoever had the most catas would win" sorta thing. To offset this accusation of CS'rs bein' at an advantage, they rebalanced. ATs got better, bein' the main thing. By now it's all about Archers, which at least anyone can get, CS or not.
