Not sure what that guy is talking about, the only level scaling damage bug I have heard of is with pvp and I thought that was fixed awhile ago. But hey he could be right, to many bugs in this game to keep up with lol.

I have a level 333 currently and I fight gutsys just fine with 3 pieces of troubleshooters gear. They have insane armor penetration but it only works on armor values not the % reduced damage effects/perks. So 3 of those and lone wanderer and the damage they do is very manageable.

I know not everyone is going to want to run around with that kind of armor but I was just making a suggestion in case you want to go hunt some gutsy for revenge :).
