DUST Search - Mass Driver area denial..NOT

MD damage was not nerfed. splash range was (if I am not mistaken)

everyone just has more hp than before (atleast my current suit has more hp than before) and EVERYONE is doing less damage because weapony damage bonus is missing thus it might look that some weapons are heavily nerfed (which is not the case).

was that because we dominated the kill boards? Did you hate watching that round flying flying flying.

you dominated? good joke. your current post indicate the opposite. oh and I was using the MD myself.

I've just seen the new MD stats.

115 hp of splash damage? A damage that is reduced against shields, in a build where finding suits with 500+ shields is going to be common?

What area denial? They are not going to even feel it. You may get kills against standard and militia suits, but forget about anything else.

115 is the same as before. if you have problems with shields then use flux grenades or learn to score direct hits.

You may get kills against standard and militia suits, but forget about anything else. 115 is the same as before. if you have problems with shields then use flux grenades or learn to score direct hits. Flux grenades are not something you can pull out during a direct confrontation. And the damage is not the same as the previous build. Have you even read the links people have shown you? The more I read your posts, the more I realize that you are probably just trolling. I consider myself a pretty decent Mass Driver user, and I have trouble scoring direct hits. This is because hitting a moving target directly with a projectile that has travel time is hard. But you keep saying that we all need to aim better and stop whining. So crap, maybe you are some kind of MD GOD, and I just need to HTFU. Or maybe I just looked up your KD, and realized that you are a mediocre player that just enjoys trash talking on forums. Now, I'm no KD chaser, my background is in games like Team Fortress where actually winning defeats all other stats. I lose dropsuits like water in this game. My corpies can attest to my tendency to run face first into bullets in order to break up a group of enemies. But if I can grab a 2.5 KD with suicidal tendencies, what is my MD Zen Master doing with a 1.59? Is it because you sit on rock all day in Dust, meditating, and only take a shot when the moons align and you can land an honorable shot, one that only does the purest damage, the only damage: Direct Damage. Do your vows forbid you from inflicting the unclean Splash Damage on someone? Hey, If that's the case I respect your religion. But I really doubt it, and you're probably just a crap player crapping in threads without a leg to stand on. The MD has been nerfed hard. Splash Radius Nerf, Damage Nerf, Distance Nerf, and the Nanohive Nerf is especially tough on MD users. It's hard to argue that this combination of nerfs has resulted in a balanced weapon. Unless you are a Master MD user like Jack over here.
