Antimatter Drop is extremely, extremely powerful. The descriptions for these skills are NOT the same as the ones in game, they're taken from the design council forum post, so they need to be changed. Antimatter Drop is basically a moving Nyx Absorb, that you can shoot yourself, and direct with your reticule. Where you point is where it'll go. As for damage, from my experience it does about 100-150 without you shooting it. However, a full clip of Despair (modded with all the damage mods) will up that damage to anywhere from 600-30000. No, that isn't a typo. Similar to Ogris, the explosions from Antimatter Drop can be inconsistent, however less so than Ogris. For some reason, Ancients that are by themselves seem to take only around 600-1500 damage, but in a group they take much higher, around 8000+. As is, you can one hit any enemies up to (so far with my experience) around level 60, with about a full clip of Despair. Acrid, Boltor, Ogris and Paris are all highly effective weapons for Antimatter Drop as well, with Paris dealing consistently ~10k damage per arrow into the Drop. Once again, this is all from personal experience with Nova in the past 5-6 hours or so, and so I do not fully understand the underlying mechanics of the Antimatter Drop.
