The Mass Driver. I have looked at it and apparently it is getting a 15.6% dam increase, which basically covers the prof. nerf with a 5% increase in damage. In regard to the Assault MD If I still have 3 complex dam mods on my Gal assault by 1.8 I only get 10% less damage compared to now if I want to spam it, this does reduce doing alot of damage spamming the MD where the assault MD was the only case of spam being a issue but mostly I can survive long range shots from rifles. Speaking of surviving, running a base MD with that extra 5% dam. on the Freedom also does not change much but the only positive thing I see about the damage increase is that I will break through shield users quicker as I hate going against gallente since they technically take longer to kill with the MD do to the lower EHP. The short story...I can at least say the MD didn't get a nerf, the lower damage on the rifles is what will make the MD viable not the damage increase.

I calculated more like a 20%-25% damage increase for MD, plus 11 round freedom clip with min assault Shocked

Kaughst with normal MD is bad enough, giving you an OP MD is just plain scary.

Hold your horses on the 11 round clip, they were strongly considering removing that part of the bonus due to the damage increase.

I'll be using Shotgun, nova knives, and my BPO SMG. Might try some of the new sidearms.

Hold your horses on the 11 round clip, they were strongly considering removing that part of the bonus due to the damage increase. We'll see, if they're being consistent with the racial assault suit+weapon ethos of 1.8 the min assault suit should give some bonus to MD. May be the existing bonus but scaled back to 5% per level for all weapons (instead of +1 per level for explosives), which would still mean an 8 round freedom clip.

LittleCuteBunny 347	Posted - 2014.03.05 20:25:00 - [42] - Quote Combat Rifle seems to be a good choice since the damage mods and proficiency will get nerfed. Just take a look at this base damage. Shields (-5%) = 84.645 per burst Armor (+10%) = 98.01 per burst Recruiter Link Retired.

So if your favorite gun is basically rendered unusable what will you be switching to? or are you gonna make the same old stuff work for ya in this new dust? I use combat rifle and that's getting hit the hardest, I think it will still be a very good gun but I might find one of the new ones to be more beneficial, some testing will be required but I may end up going for the ion pistol, low cost, high damage potential, seems decent for a logi, and it might work out really well if I plan on getting into scouts, sneak up behind someone with a fully charged shot and bang! Then again I could just abuse the mass driver again, that could be fun :D I hate pistols but that Ion is lookin' gooooood! I'm upset that CCP dared to touch my sexy SMG (hands down my most favorite weapon ever!) but I'll still be rollin' with it. Not gonna lie though....that MagSec is kinda callin' my name!

I made a switch from DS3 to DS4 controller and what ive noticed is I can aim amazingly with the ScR and ScP with it. But ive lost a lot of skill with the CbR (dont ask how, I dont know...i just sort of suck with it comparitively now. I think its fighting the kick is harder with the DS4 or i just havent gotten used to it). Plus lower DPS means bigger chance I will have to reload my CBR as opposed to just managing the ROF on the ScR a bit more. Seriously...I dunno what it is about rhe DS4 but i really just dont miss ScR shots with it at all. Probably higher report rate than DS3. Drop it like its hat.
