The numbers there only apply to the basic versions of both Burst and Deflective Armor. The upgraded Deflective Armor has no cooldown of course. I'm well aware of how a cooldown would affect this item and it's the reason, why the upgraded Deflective will keep the 0 cooldown.
hm, no i actually understood it but overlooked your comment about the upgraded.

New short range weapons with about 1s cd or remade old would be nice. I also don't see a reason to spend 3k gold for upped burst. This item is just to weak. My suggestion is to make it block all dmg done in 0.5s peroid every 4s. In most cases it still be weaker than deflective but good enought to spend gold for upgrade.

The next best short range weapon would be the Blaster Cannon at 11000 gold. But since its damage is already pretty high, it won't get affected that much anymore. This is also true for every weapon after that. They all deal so much damage, that the Deflective Armor only has a minor influence anymore.
So my question would be, what kind of weapon (in which price and range class) do you think is missing?

Ice canon is 600 range, Light 800 range, Infernal 750, Blaster 660 (if i remember well).
So in <700 range weapons there's a price gap of 8000 gold, and there i would search a place for new/ramade weapon good vs deflective.
Some 5-6k and 8-9k ~600 range weapon will be nice. There's also HUGE gap between blaster and swarm of chaos. 1 dps oriented waepon in this gap would be great to see.
Btw: I remeber u asked question about most underused skills/tanks in past. Since w skill of sky tank was remade(i love it), now q skill seems a bit useless
you both misunderstood what i was saying. I don't talk about the pricerange of weapons I'm talking about the fact that there is 3 shortrange weapons poison, laser, flamer. but all of them are low cooldown weapons and easy to counter with deflective. the weapon with the lowest range and counterable against deflective is light fantastic with range 800, so i won't classify it as a shortrange weapon. So basically what I'm saying is you need to make shortrange weapons (>700) with higher cooldown.
