Not long ago, the Ancient Defensive Web Slinger was a straight upgrade to tier 3 guardian point-defense (Same exact stats, except more damage per shot), though I do think this power increase was justified by its minor artifact cost.

Now its Cooldown has been increased to 0.75 (from 0.5), resulting in its average damage being less than tier 3 guardian point-defense, and arguably making it a lot weaker against most missiles (Maruader and Nano-cloud) which relies on spamming as many as possible to overwhelm point-defense systems with low-health missiles, most of which are going to go down in one shot regardless of it being a tier 3 guardian point-defense or an ancient web slinger.

As it currently is, you're paying more for a worse weapon (Even if you use Archaeoengineers)
