Nerf the rail and combat rifles. The basics kill faster than Duvolles.
Plasma rifle needs a faster projectile. It's painfully slow.
Maybe the MD could use a slight buff in blast radius. It definitely needs MORE AMMO. It only has two extra clips and it takes a whole clip to kill someone. And if we're talking "area denial" you can't do much area denying when you only have two extra clips. AR's get at least 4 with much higher DPS.

When I use my Assault MD to suppress groups, it does it's job well. But only because I am sitting on two K-2 hives. Needs more ammo.
Add points for suppression. +25 sounds about right.

(+25 for suppress and +25 for Kill assist)
Yeah that'd work.

Bojo The Mighty wrote:Mass Driver User here:
I have used it effectively this patch. It's a niche weapon and as of lately that is especially true. It is much harder to get kills with it on average and since I pair it with my scout suit, I stand even less chance against the Rifles. I definitely died many times trying to adjust to 1.7, with the Mass Driver.
But last week I just worked my issues with it out. I stopped running on lower elevations with it. I find where all the fighting is and I look for an elevated place in 100 meters around. I pick a perch and I bombard from outside effective ranges. Also as everyone knows, elevation makes the Mass Driver so much easier to use.
I am not impressed with the Assault MD (EC something) due to **** poor damage. But the rapid fire is kind of cool and I have been killed by it before. I got a kill with the EK-A2 breach mass driver (direct hit on scout) and felt bad ass. The EK is definitely an improvement over the standard breach.....anyways
I think the Mass Driver seems over-niched nowadays, being almost impossible to compete at close distances now, the Rifles are overwhelming. But the niche is still there, get a good position and bomb. I don't go for kills anymore, I used to. Now I use the mass driver like a Logistics would, just kind of carpet bomb an area. However it's effective at carpet bombing dense clusters of enemies and those who aren't quick will die and the splash radius means a lot of assists when you don't kill. It's not Chromosome status at all but I can work with it.
The most I could ask for is a small radius buff. After all it sort of has been pushed to longer ranges due to new rifles. But I could survive without it if "rebalancing" brings MD some favorable indirect-buffs.
If Minmatar Assault gets a ROF buff that'd definitely help the MD. I think the breach MD's should have a higher ROF in general though. They're already very gimped with their small blast radius (no good for area denial). I think they'd be fine if they just had the standard ROF but any increase at all would be ok with me.

That'd be a 6 shot plasma cannon.

Doh. Yes Plasma Cannon is what I meant. It's projectile is too slow to hit anything that's not sitting still.
