Well, I have witnessed this difference many times. Just yesterday I rushed into the crowd of robots in the center of Snake Gulch. I'm a lv23 Behemoth and those Cowboy Robots quartered me literally with their lassos. But then a Power Armored guy rushed in even deeper than I did and wiped out all the place without letting the HP drain by half.
Man, when I was looking at his weapon system massacring those tin cans I hoped he was at least lv25. But guess what, that guy was just lv19.
And my heart broke.

Something that will help the Behemoth is to turtle up behind your block power while you build stacks of defiance. Defiance is a great defensive power, but has to build up to its full effectiveness.

Thanks for the tips, but could you give me some extra advices on building Behemoth: 1. Should I purchase any rank for Defiance or just leave it alone? 2. Is Punitive Pummeling worth giving any advantage point? 3.Between Uppercut and Haymaker, which one do you think is better for PvP? Thanks again.

Thanks again. 1) Ranking Defiance is worth it, IMO, so you won't have to wait as long to build up your defense. 2) No on Punitive Pummeling. Far better uses for the adv. points. 3) Uppercut generally. The only time I'd consider Haymaker for PvP is if you're dealing with someone with a lot of healing...but really, you should be doing enough burst damage and crowd control to overwhelm that anyway.

Wow, I was hesitating because Uppercut enemies upwards is fun but Haymaker is incredibly damaging. Now I'm more confident on "having fun", thanks ;D

The power difference is really noticeable at 21-30 and 31-40 tier in pvp. I used to do ok, a bit subpar maybe, but now in tier 3, I feel like my damage is negligible. And on top of that, I have low survivability because i play the Blade AT, which is supposed to be good at single target damage. I also got told that teleport was bugged and my survival in the lower tiers was because I (ab)used teleport, so I can't even imagine what it will be like. Guess I have to go to the insanely long queues of AT restricted

Guess I have to go to the insanely long queues of AT restricted The blade is very good in tier 1-2. It is quite capable of being successful without teleport, so whoever told you that only abusing teleport allowed you to win was probably just whining. A blade's damage can be astounding, and in fact the blade's basic damage combo of bleed stacking + rupture is pretty much the same for a freeform single blade character as it is for an AT. When you get Reaper's Embrace you will see a dramatic increase in your damage. If you arent using crafted (or purchased form the vendor) consumables, I highly recommend you start doing so. Every bit helps. Any AT will start to suffer in t3-t4. By T4 PvP oriented freeforms have defenses comparable to a tank, while having burst damage and DPS comparable to a glass cannon.
