i'm just not sure what their plan is, as what they did to improve the C-Packs itself (and in 700 if you're going to play an NT-D melee suit with shooty capabilities, you might as well just play Unicorn)
there's also the fact that the shield missiles can barely break DC1, the shield cannon has 30% stagger and the rifle itself is 35%
alongside that, outside of the rifle and melee, it just deals very low damage overall, awakened strike can deal pretty good damage with the downswing but not when it's geared more towards shooting rather than melee
NT-D itself also doesn't provide much in the way of statboosts, not nearly to the same degree as the other NT-D suits in 700 for example, it just feels more akin to a permanent HADES-E
