if you imagine gareth as a bot with a light hardpoint, a medium hardpoint, and an ecu (so ignore phalanx mode) - is it a good bot?

for a light bot - it isn't bad.

and then if you don't encounter rockets, it's very good.

also, by sticking to cover, you can avoid most rdbs, and by paying attention to your surroudnings, you can avoid most DBs.

and fun fact - it takes an RDB 2 salvos to kill any light bot, assuming all rockets deal damage. if you don't use shield and dodge, you're as hard a target as any light (excluding stalker)

cossack's jump can be good for covering distance, getting to cover, and occasionally close combat, but it has the weakness of, once you're airborn, they know exactly where you're going to be for the next few seconds. It's very predictable, and you can more easily hit it then.

and considering gareth's power when rockets aren't involved - it's powerful. Too powerful.
