A Gareth is pretty weak against splash damage from rockets. Choosing an orkan/piñata setup for it puts you within range of those weapons which usually means a quick death. You're better off going with plasma weapons and staying 300-350m from most opponents (more for range weapons, of course).
You also want to be moving with it rather than staying at center beacon and letting red get within 300m. Battling from the outside of the map and working your way in to the center or their spawn point would be better - gives you a better chance to pick your battles and make best use of its shield.

I did watch someone use a maxed gereth in gold tier very well. Like wall-e said, staying 350 away at all times and using speed to maneuver away from fire. But have only seen one, most get smoked pretty quick.

Id say gareth is good to counter clubbers, but keep in mind your shield isnt invincible, if you are countering other physical shielded bots, use AoE weapons (rockets), if countering energy shield bots, go with mags/tarans

Watch the first two clips of this video this was some Gameplay from the test server and I nearly beat a dB lancelot and rhino I watched, and the result was as expected when a low HP bot exchanges rocket fire with a high HP bot - the high HP bot wins. Frankly, those guys weren't very good - a decent pilot would have killed your gareth at your first attempt to corner shoot your rockets. As bad as they were, they still finished the job, although at a high HP cost to them. Tip: fire your rockets as you're backpedaling away from the other rocket wielding bot to avoid much of the damage from their orkans/pinatas. |

Well, if anyone's still listening at the absolute last thread on this page, I would like to say that you should give it plasma weapons and avoid rocket guys. You can kill heavy robots with this big.
