With heavies getting organic resistances to explsovies and assault suits getting a ROF bonus, slow firing weapons are out of favor and automatic weapons are becoming FAR superior.
The MD also only works with logi suits, unless you're running an ishukone gauged nanohives on an assault, because the weapon eats an entire clip for 1 kill, sometimes.
The weapon isn't terrible, though. Splash is fine, but with logi losing their assault role, it needs to be viable for ADB and STD suits (assault) as well. Adding 2 more extra clips would help and a very small splash damage buff would make it more relecant- I'd say 10%, because no DMG mods and the proto MDs are useless, 2 and they become terrifying. So 10% seems about right.

noob tube? id like to see your TRY and get as many kills with a mass driver as an assault rifle. The impact is instant. The range is far superior. It's so much easier using a rifle than a mass driver that anyone who believes otherwise, is a noob, themselves.

Not saying it's not lagging, but I'm also saying it's not so bad. I've had more Breach MD kills this build than any past build. The problem is, the Mass Driver's niche is easily outperformed by almost every weapon in existence. Along with that, the original Mass Driver was balanced around the lower HP values for armor. Now that Armor's been buffed, we have a weapon better used as a Potato Cannon.
not to mention how heavies are getting an exp resistance...

In that time you'd die three times over to nearly every other weapon.
4-5? If you're running a prof 5 double damage modded freedom, i guess.
