I think this is what makes Mass Drivers OP. They do an incredible amount of damage to armor. And the more armor you stack, the easier you are to hit because you are so slow. They keep Armor users down and make running shields way more preferable. They do less damage to shields, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe it is 80% of their damage. This is why everyone who runs shield tanks usually does not complain, because they are being dealt a lot less damage than armor tankers.
For instance, if an explosive does 150 base damage. That would mean they only do 120 damage to shields. Though that same 150 would do 195 damage to Armor. |

Prototype grenades do 910 damage against armor while doing 490 to shields.
Which I'm fine with, I just don't like that explosive spam is so easy to achieve without thinking in this game. |

Giving up my armor Gallante suit for a Shield tanking Caldari should not be the answer.
Kind of like telling Dropship pilots to get out of the sky, to avoid Forge Guns. |

An anti armor weapon being great against armor does not make it OP, it just means its doing its job. Its like a shield tanker saying flux grenades and scrambler rifles are OP because they completely destroy shields. You might as well be saying scissors is OP because it cuts paper.
Armor is getting HP buffs and speed penalty reduction very soon. Wait for the buff before calling for MD nerfs.
One thing I find odd is that in the devblog on weapon types and the weapon ranges, they said explosive weapons do 120% more against armor, not 130%. Perhaps there is a bug if its doing 130%. |

Well, right now MD is glitch and does full DMG to shields on splash(wait...maybe it was direct DMG)
Either way, hopefully it is fixed in 1.4 |

I find that 70/135 is a little bit excessive for anti-armour weapons when anti-shield weapons are 120/80. I like the numbers in that blog, but testing doesn't seem to show the same numbers. |

The M.D. Is not suppose to be inherently anti Armor. It is suppose to be a crowd control weapon, you can do damage over a large area, but not a lot of damage.

There are two hybrid weapons in this game, railguns and blasters. Blasters are the ones that give 110% against shields. |

The type of damage, the amount of damage, the damage modifiers are not the problem.
It's just the mass spam atm, not the weapon, its the over use, being told to dodge the shots when its actually 10 mass driver rounds, 2 forge guns and 20 nades going off...dodge. Best way I have found to dodge is redline Thale sniping proto suits, making sure people aren't making money. |

Can't hit what you can't see. Use a ScR or a TAR. Better yet, do it on a higher ground. |

Suppressing groups of infantry, while excelling at dropping Armor units.
If it wasn't supposed to kill groups of armor, and keep groups of shield away from an area, what was it supposed to do? |

Only dummy's get shot at and continue to run into fire.
If you run away, you can swap it out for a longer ranged gun and fire back at a safer range. |

I have gotten ripped up by every kind of suit while frantically blasting away. Best ways to deal with a MD as a-- Heavy: Stand there and annihilate. I haven't beaten that yet.
Medium: Go around a corner. Wait. If chased, they will be next to you and can't shoot back. Annihilate. Rinse, repeat.
Light: Strafe back and forth with a steep angle toward the person. Be somewhat random and jump a couple of times. When you are next to the MD gunner, kick'm inna face with whatever your choice of annihilation is.
This is all for the basic 1v1 combat. Yes, it's different when teammates from either side are there. That's the point of having teammates. I run MD because I don't aim well, and I like laying suppressive fire. Yes, I love it when I get a headshot, and I can hear the screams of annoyance. But I die just as effectively as...well, probably more effectively than most, given I'm a logibro. |
