Why is the AR "The Gold Standard" for skill? Wait until there are 4 flavors of AR and basically 4 TAC-ARs each with different engagement ranges and damage profiles.
1) Flux+mass driver is not a OHK, that is 2 hits.
2) The AR is an up-close weapon (0-40m ish) that excels when multiple people nearby are using it because it can put consistent and reliable hurt on a target. Other weapons are either more 'bursty', more accurate, longer range, or a combination of those.
3) Because Math:
Clip Damage Comparison (base stats):
Damage in Clip (100% accuracy in optimal)-
GEK - 35.7 HP*60 rounds = 2142
EXO-5 Assault MD - [Direct] 254 HP*6 rounds = 1524 ;
EXO-5 Assault MD - [splash] 121 HP*6 rounds = 726
RoF Comparison (time to do full clip's damage of direct MD hits (1524 HP):
GEK - @ 750 RPM, 12.5 R/Sec, @100% accuracy= 3.4 seconds (43 rounds)
GEK - @ 750 RPM, 12.5 R/Sec, @70% accuracy=4.8 seconds (60 rounds)
EXO-5 @ 60 RPM, 1 R/Sec, @100% accuracy= 6 seconds (6 rounds)
EXO-5 @ 60 RPM, 1 R/Sec, @Splash 100%= 16 seconds (6 rounds + reload + 6 rounds)
The MD bonus damage to armor is especially annoying, but the nerf to its shield damage is a completely fair trade of when you see what it would take to take down a good shield buffer with some good regen and avoidance ability.
I reiterate...when you are fighting in FLUX range you are especially vulnerable to mass drivers. The shield tank's biggest problem with the mass driver isn't the mass driver it is the flux grenade.

Yep how do you like them apples! So your argument is basically "I am not allowed to dance the same dance as him" ...Well, there are some weapons your stupid little belly dancing jigs aren't supposed to work against. You don't stare down a mass driver while swinging your hips. You kill it in 2-3 seconds you have the advantage or GTFO. You count its shots and then charge when he's reloading.
BTW nobody has said that MDs take about 10% more CPU and 100% more PG than ARs too, which means a little more eHP. |

Hell no! A lot of it isn't opinion. There are a lot of instances where the AR is plainly the wrong weapon to bring to the fight. |

I can't wait until the CREST API comes out and you can start to rub whiners' faces in the stink that they leave in their own wake. Regnyum is going on my short list of people to look at first. |

You could put a bit of sway on an MD if spam at long range is really the issue of concern. |

I am starting to campaign for a proposal for a comprehensive EWAR system that magnifies drawbacks for each weapon damage class see below for further information and please leave your thoughts.
