My question is to any master commando, have u ever used a proton grenade on ur opponent in a PVP. I never used grenades in pvp before, and i dont think i ever will. The accuracy is so horrible on these grenades that in a pve fight sometimes i throw up to 7 or 8 grenades at an npc before i ever hit them. So my question is how a 6 second grenade supposed to help u in anyway in pvp, if in pve it takes mesomewhere around 30 seconds of grenades throwing to even hit my target once.
Now u dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out thatif annpc with much lower defences stats then a playercankeep me throwing grenades for 30 sec, thenin a pvp i should expect to throw close to 10 grenadesat my opponent, which would translte into 1 min timewise......rofl, i dont know u guys but my average fight dont last more then 20 sec......so my question is what aregrenadesgood for in pvp?
any thoughts?
ps, true , they are great for combat xp in pve.....but useless in pvp, what a waist ofvaluble skill points.

I too never use to use Proton grenades. Because they allways miss. BUT, there are dayz that they NEVER MISS!!!!
And when they do land proton grenades are doing 1700 plus damage in pvp.
Each and everytime I get one to land the Person is incapped instantly!
Plus grenades can use powerups. I have a set of grenades now that are 4000 max damage, and the grenades aren't even sliced
You can also use a powerup on them that increases the blast raidus buy 3 meters. Grenades ahve a blast raidus of 5meters, with a powerup they're at 8 meters.
The ham cost are heavy though on grenades. But If you do manage to get one to land, your opponnet is DEAD.
So use them once you get one to land you'll be very pleased.

i've used proton nades in pvp, but only when i'm grouped, never in duels or one on one, and only when you havea lot of players grouped....
I've hit for 4600 damage in pvp (unarmored opponents) and it makes for a pretty sight...

im picture me in apvp duel against a fresh off the boat novice marksman with cdef in his hands.
i am thinking how fun it will be to win, so i start lobbing proton nades at my foe. miss one, miss two, miss three.
i go for 4 but i get the "not enough pool points for this action message" as the novice marksman headshots me for the win. he then deathblows me out of spit.
thats what i think would happen

Yea the Ham is rediculous on grenades, if it doesn't hit the first time, It would be wise to heal before you launch another one.

Hmmm, I was just thinking about grenades for pvp the other day. I fought some dude with ridiculous ranged defense. I couldn't hit him period with my flame. He just stood there an laughed at me. After I woke up at the cloning center and talked to him, he told me he had around 200 ranged def. That's when I startedconsidering the grenades.(unless I want to use my spectacular unarmed fighting 4 skills on people in pvp. Ouch.)

In group PvP, I lob nades at the "medic clusters". Glorious what a small nuke can do to a low def medic and the 6 or so wounded players getting bleeds healed, poisons removed, burns tended....
Ah, the carnage
One on one, throwing a nade is more likely to do nothing more than give the Meleethe chance to close in, and the Ranged guys at minimum 2 free shots....

Check your ranges... grenades are only good at 10m...thermals at 15 tops..
U have to aim them... Thermals are the highest and fastest 3.2 spd at 15m AR2
I have used them in pvp... against a 60% comp u will get a hit of about 110 ... if he is moving forget about it.
If u are hoping for splash damage... if your target is moving forget it... it negates the radius dmg..
