I have been advocate for the Mass Driver since day 1, it was my first ever weapon.
I have been through the bad times, when rounds would phase through opponennts and the floor.
The good when it was the first weapon to have working hit detection, to the lag when shots fired seconds after pulling the trigger.
I have used it in every conceivable role, I've done short range breaching, long range suppression, area denial, flanking, 1v1, AV. You name I've done it with my Mass Driver.
But since 1.4 its been slowly getting worse, its not the mass drivers fault, but armour buffs, HROF hit detection, 2 new rifles have all worn down the Mass Driver to ALMOST pointless.
The mass driver was never a high DPS weapon, but the rifles are getting worse, it just can't match the damage. Its time to bring down the rifles, a gallante assault rifle gets over 4 seconds of fire time, with 400 DPS that's alot.
I personally believe the DPS should be approximately 300 at proto level, this would make other weapons relevant again.

ROFL!
You forget to mention the Rail Rifle having better range and DPS then the laser, you also forget to mention that when defending a point there is rarely high ground close enough to be relevant.
They may be "Viable" but if you wanna say that then you could easily say the scout is still viable. Viable doesn't mean useful or relevant the mass driver and laser rifle are neither.

Instead of viable use situational. But as it is now, scanners are to strong, counter scout easily and LR is out performed by RR. I still think MD is fine because it as a AOE weapon and has potential to change the tide of the fight if used correctly.
Not Quite, unless you are running in a squad with 5 rifles its too situauational to be useful. People aren't afraid of it, it isn't useful when the corridor you are lobbing rounds down has more than 1 rifle aware of your presence.
Ut is litteraly only good for hitting behind cover.
