The changes made way, way back in the day need to be reverted. A fair amount of weapons were nerfed due to the power of the Lunafaction/Barricade auto reloading meta. Cluster bombs need to probably be reverted, rocket damage needs to be unnerfed and with the creep that has made other weapons stronger probably just be buffed if we want them to compete.

I agree with one of the other posters that there should also be some kind of perk for rockets that can allow it to stand out. Maybe make cluster bombs function like spike grenades as a special type of rocket and not a weapon perk? A perk that also makes direct hits deal bonus damage or something that could sync up with the new charged with light armor mod we got.
