You're incorrect, i just now tested them on a group of Stormtroopers.

Experienced : 2353 Combat Experience ( Thermal Grenades )

+235

For some reason on blue cons, i get the 10% combat xp from grenades but when it comes to white cons i guess because it takes longer to kill i get alot more combat experience. Must be a bug, not sure.And yea i was buffed, so i could throw a bunch of them in a group of ST's and just let the combat exp rank in.

It didnt take alot of them either, i was surprised at the damage output of them even when the ST's were blast resistant.

That's because thermals do heat damage. Are you guys grinding Combat exp for Field Tactics or FS trade in?

I hear grenades and thier pure Combat exp is good for FS trade in. Just make sure you use protons unbuffed in a group at zero range....J/K

What grenades are you guys using? lol. When I use a grenade (and sure I am 0030) I hit them for about 150 damage, if I'm lucky! Do I just suck? lol

They are Blast damage, it says right in my inventoryI can take a screenshot lol....maybe they are bugged i dunno. Btw my Thermal Detonators are 1107-2260 damage (Sliced - 1880 when not).And i average 1900-2k damage on stormtroopers.Im 4-4-4-4 Commando, not master cause of app .

I went out tonight, to see how much combat experience i can rack up with using grenades and im not joking when i said i made 60-65k Combat Experience in about 2hrs just on St's. I've wiped out 8 st's with 8 grenades ( yeah no focus pools ). I hardly ever missed, i was a bit close though but not in blast range of the grenades. Plus the total use of grenades during the 60k cbt exp. was 15 sets of 5 grenades ( not including a few glops here in there ). But some grenades i've already wasted testing them out on single st missions.

So, i guess if you got the cash you can get that FS exp quickly

I have heard people are considering going commando just to grind FS xp. I find that a bit odd that someone would drop the proffessions they want to complement with FS skills just to grind the FS skills.

But I am not one to judge. If they want to go commando more power to this community. Master commando was some of the best fun and flashiest particle effects of my SWG career.

no, you don't suck... without any field tactics boxes you barely have any more certs orability mods than a novice artisan...

has anyone figured this out? at 4000 and at master?

Seems like, with the right 'nades, and fairly soft targets (4K HAM Mobs, for instance), this might be a good way to get FS exp.

Much better to get 0040 and just roast your way there since last time I checked, the additional combat xp received by grenade attacks was still 10% of normal xp round down added to the regular block of combat xps.

FT one shot killofa mobnets you, about 2499 HeavyWeapon xp and 249 Combat xp compared to a Grenade kill getting you 498 combat xp.

Acrateof grenades capable of one shot killscan kill 125 mobs (5 per stack, 25 stacks per crate) IF YOU HIT EVERY TIME, a descent FT will last you 20 times thatAT LEAST (if your not using overcharge attacks).

Personally I would go with the FT, even without buffs you can just run rampant and rake in the xps (with a fair set of armor).
