AR QQ in 3...2....

Remember, when Mass Driver users are against projectile enemies, they get 50% damage reduction since the projectile enemies miss when the MD users hop around, and the users will not miss because of the area denial ability, so I think it's fair to get rid of the "*The Damage/Ten Seconds is about 25% of the Duvolle".

Okay, this fire really doesn't need to restoked. It just died down for a little bit.

*stokes fire*

MD requires a fraction of the aiming of an AR, and is therefore a noob tube, just like its baby brother the Flaylock, which we thankfully slayed.

LMAO there are a lot of delusional MD users out there who truely believe its balanced. As someone who plays PC matches everyday and plays with several people who use and have begun using the MD, let me tell you it hasn't become this popular because its a challenging weapon to use.

* CCP didn't include it in the explosive nerf dev blog
* it is designed for area denial and breaching in close quarters, urban environments (<40m). It excels at these beyond every other weapon, however, outside of that range, or when not having a height advantage, it is completely useless except in the most skilled hands.
*The Damage/Ten Seconds is about 25% of the Duvolle, even with direct hits, and is can be countered by most other weapons should they properly position themselves, therefore, it is not OP.

I disagree.
Your reasoning is sound if you want to argue that the MD isn't OP.

However CCP bases their nerfs on sudden increases in an item's use. I can see that happening already this week.
Mass drivers are the new FOTM whether OP or not, and I'm guessing they have some sort of %age threshold after which nerfs are considered.

Everyone will go MD very soon

because it is the only other weapon as easy to get kills with as the AR- the most over-effective weapon in the game. While it excels at nothing, it does well at everything, which is why it IS the best weapon, and therefore, a win-button.

Even by missing 50% of the time you deal twice the damage a mass driver can deal with one round; even if not twice, you deal the same.

Same example I always give: for every exo-5 mass driver round a militia assault rifle ca get off twelve. Mass driver damage without damage mods or proficciency skill is 120 rounded. Militia assault rifle deals 350 damage in that same ammount of time. No mods and no proficciency. Even if the assault rifle user misses half the time, he still deals 170 damage with no mods or skill. Now, we are comparing an advanced mass driver with a militia weapon. HTFU and stop the QQ.

I guess that's why everyone who uses the AR gets 20+ kills a match.
