I hate those posts, xx got bigger damage and yy lower.
Some facts: On TC, it depends which armor will you wear, and the problem is, that Rocket Launcher is good against EVERY armor in the game we use (5 - 6 ap rockets kill pvp alt)and the problem is that you can easily boost your resistance by using psycho or beer or toughness perks, then avenger is just like shit, but when enemy wears something like tesla armor and takes those drugs along with the perk, he got same resistances as he had only worn CAmk2 w/o any perks, BUT he can have more laser resistance against gatlings, but here it comes to rocket launcher that it has only 25-30% dr against rockets, and it will just kill you like that.
The problem lies that all ppl go in CAmk2 and the're good defended against avengers, and ppl cry about it's damage is too low, try using metal armor mk2, which is in the middle road for everything, but is bad against plasma and average against rockets, while eating drugs you'll be average defended from avenger.
It's not like we're whinning but Avenger NEEDS all the perks to do the 70 - 110 dmg at range (to camk2 or to metal armor mk2 at the end) while gatling needs none of these, and can be the TANK while dealing 80 - 100 dmg to the CAmk2, but does lower damage to the metal armor mk2 ( like 50 - 70) and to tesla (up to 40).
Problem lies that toughness works only for normal damage, and should buff all of these by some amount, additionally rocket is too powerfull when it comes to 5 - 7 rl guys (which obviusly are tankers with stonelol/man of steel while having 286 hps and high resistances), and there are no perks against it.
I suggest adding a perk which was VERY usefull in FT, because you could shot octagons,
The perk was working like that : If you were hit by rocket near you (explosion on your mate), you were given 50% less damage from that. This would be good 18 - 21 lvl perk, which you could take instead of man of steel (this would bring the choice) - the perk was called " Hit the deck!"
Also what Triple said, it's annoying to take "normal toughness" because there are no worth taking perks on 6th lvl, so moving the brd to 6 lvl would be cool.
