When Im 6 feet away and a guy is trying to climb a ladder right in front of me..im hitting the wall and hes getting the full on brunt of every shot possible.. TAKES 4 SHOTS to kill him REALLY? How is that in any way area denial?
The nerf on Mass Driver is same as any game.. All the nabs chose to level their assault rifles and and since theres no milita version of Mass Driver it never crossed their mind..and then they cry noob toob crap because someone with skills besides an AR actually can kill them.. Well I took a chance on something and went MD from the beginning of closed beta..This is the thanks I get..
Got news for ya.. its not ez to use the MD.. and if you dont have just the right shot you wont kill anything.. Rollback the nerf.. this is stupid.. people in ALL shooters will cry about grenade launchers.. In this game.. it actualy takes alot of skill to be consistent with this weapon.. And it only shoots 6 FFS.. Its supposed to be area denial.. now its Area Annoyance at best...
WEAK.. boooty

I may have missed something, but there hasn't been anything done to MD recently. And the last time it WAS touched, it was BUFFED. Bigger splash radius and given 2 more rounds per drum/mag. |

MD's fine right now, if they buff it again people will scream nerf and they'll end up in a worse state |

Even before it was last touched it was fine, it didn't need more than 5 rounds. Also if the guy had fulk shields it's working as intended |

If you fire five rounds into five clustered people it averages out to one-shotting them. Y'know, in case that helps. |

Actually I only used it before it got buffed, raised my war point intake and kills because of the explosive rounds, it's working as intended |

That being said I'd think a perfect balance would be to remove one round, remove either the aim turning effect or smoke but not both in exchange for high velocity and lower drop to allow them to not be useless in vertical combat |

Have you tried various levels? I know for a fact that Exo woops standards' ass (even though I use standard almost always). The skill to increase blast radius is there for a reason. |

The MD hasn't been messed with people are just getting higher level stuff....
People are getting prototype level shields now so when they get there prototype level don't expect your standard or even advanced level gear to kill them the same way.
I MD and that doesn't seem fair even for me just get the skill to level 5 and use the freedom and if your still struggling get proficiency.  |

4 shots sounds about right for someone shield tanked. A lot of Assaults are up in the 600 total HP range, and with the MD being less efficient against shields, it'll take at least 4 shots to take one down with a standard MD.
As a way to deal with it, learn to use flux grenades, and/or have a friend run a laser. |

The only thing that seems off about the mass driver is it doesn't always seem to explode correctly. It's a hell of a lot better than it was though. |

the Mass Driver is ment to really be taken against big targets, meaning a group of people, or an LAV or something like that.
its a very good weapon, as long as you realize that you're mor going for damage to more than one person, or trying to keep people from crossing a hold. its meant to be more something to chase people away with.
it does take skill to mortar someone with such a weapon, but its useful when you can |

The first time I 'sploded someone way up on the catwalk in the tower outside Skim Junction, I realized I had not wasted time in putting all my weapon SP's in MD operation. Love the darn thing.  |

well im sure they stealth nerfed it as they did alot of other stuff.. And you cant teach me anything about this weapon.. im upgraded use, weaponry, proficiency etc.. I rock a freedom when i can afford it..
You keep saying working as intended..well if its intended for a grenade launcher to have to be dead on accurate and place not 1 but at least 4 shots exactly at someones feet.. then they intended WRONG ..
any of you "old school" md users that think you can beat me step up .. I am the MASS DRIVER.. and if I say its nerfed its nerfed.. lol |

I don't even use the Mass Driver and I know they problem,
the Mass Drivers ARE broken at the moment in the way that they explode on a 2D plain (why you couldn't kill the guy)
CCP has stated that they WILL fix this so that MD's do a spherical explosion |

Are you level 5 in MD with at least 3 point's in to spec or do you have 3 point's in it and are expecting magic? |

I love the mass driver. It does take skill to use especially for long range kills. I dnt think they stealth nerfed it as it is still wonderful as the first day i used it back in Nov. But it def instills fear in people i saved a squad mate from two heavies with it. I shot two rounds at them and they went running. It was great. |

The didn't nerf the md. That being said, I would always enjoy a buff. And btw, I am MASS DR1V3R obv. 
And people need to stop crying about the md having 6 rounds. Saying that it needs only 5 is freaking ridiculous. It already takes 4 seconds to reload. Get over it. |

It's fine now, 4 round clips were bullshit because that was enough to only kill 1 person, while the other weapons can kill at least 2 per clip. |

umm I literally play this game like 8 hours a day from closed beta till now using exclusively the MD..(when absolutely nobody else was) I think I can say with some confidence that no one is more qualified to judge whether they slipped in a stealth nerf than I am.. I noticed it immediately from one day to the next after the shutdown/update.. And it was significant enough for me to come post about it..
If they ever post their nerf log, ill bet youll find out the same week I posted this.. there was a change to the MD..
and yes I'f fully full in all aspects MD.. so stop trying to poke holes..
bottom line it doesnt do enough damage in comparison to the other weapons.. and when you sell it as a slow loading small clip area denial tool this MAKES NO SENSE.. im out

I think the MD's are fine as they are and I use them almost exclusivley now (the only times I dont are on builds without nanohives.) I have recently been using a cheap fit with a standard MD and coupled with flux nades I dont have problems with most proto's except occasionally scouts who can sometimes jump above my explosions it seems lol.
And about it not having enough damage for area denial I have found that even if it only does a small amount of damage to say a shield tanked assault 9/10 they wont run into the open or will retreat so you may not be killing with every shot but you are denying them the opportunity to advance and the amount of assists I get with it are a nice bonus. I also use mine + flux as a good anti-lav fit and scare the living daylights out of tanker fits. |
