I think grenades are good the way they are. There. I said it.


Its not qquite true though.. there is one thing that annoys the hell out of me...


I lob a bug-bom with a radius of 33 FEET (modded and sliced) at a group of mobs. It misses. Cest la vie. But shouldnt it still obliterate everything within 35 feet? No, it doesnt.


Grenades should miss often and they should have short ranges. But they SHOULD still damage the target 9 times out of 10. They should just do less damage. And then when you hit they should blow the hell out of what it hits. this would be sooooo much better.


Anyone agree with me?

Yeah, anything in the blast radius should get hit if they fail a dodge roll or somethin' to that effect whether the initial target is hit or not.


HOWEVER, if you do something like overthrow the grenade and there isn't anything remotely in range of the AOE, then yeah of course duh.

I disagree, grenades cost money, and they're weaker then a Flame thrower. Even really good speed sliced ones, even if they some how do surpass the Flamethrower, they're cost aint worth it PvE. I really don't see the point in em except Jedi, and force XP.

You could argue that it's another damage type, but so is the HAR and that's useless as well.

the nade didnt over shoot.. not 35 feet anyway. just nothing got hurt. really when everything for 35 feet is getting covered in sarlacc bile and angry insects it should make no difference whether you have +1mil dodge or your a paraplegic in a wheelchair

I think it is because in order for a grenade to hit a target other than the one that you are aiming at, they have to be aggro'd against you.
