Grenades are good if you like really slow useless weapons. Thats about it. Sadly, the Flamethrower is the only decent commando weapon.

< Grenades are good if you like really slow useless weapons. >
I can appreciate that there are issues with Grenades (ie ideal range for some being within the blast radius).
But what's wrong with 3k damage with Medium AP? Proton grenades aren't *that* slow.....
Most grenades I make are well within 4.0spd.

i think that grenades rock at grinding off combat xp. nothing wrong with tossing 5 protons and blasting quenkers and gaining 25K combat.

do all the grenades pretty much just do dmg or do some of them actually do other stuff, dizzy/stun/slow/etc.?

Proton grenades are good for getting combat exp off lairs. That's about it.

None. But we hope to get some stat effects on them.
The only plus about grenades, as have been said, is to grind combat xp. The C12 grenades are even useful to other professions as well as they are certed to everyone.

Bad accuracy and the liability to catch yourself in the blast radius are the two main bad points, IMHO.
They are good for gaining pure combat XP though, and the damage is pretty good, if you manage to hit anything

Grenades are expensive wastes of time. They I beleive were nerfed in PVP so they do alot less damage to humans The only thing I realy got a nice hit off is a lair every thing else that moves I have realy missed alot or seen little to no damage. Ill have to test it again one of these days when I realy start playing again if I do

The only thing they're good for is helping to grind combat xp. And the only good way to use them is:
1. Get fully buffed. You'll need it.
2. Get a couple missions or find a lair with lots of mobs around it.
3. Stand close to the lair and attack the lair.
4.Wait til all the mobs are circled around you and the lair then toss a few grenades at the lair.
You never miss the lair so there'll always be splash damage that hits the surrounding mobs. But the splash damage can miss also so you'll need to toss 2 or 3 to make sure you've hit all of them. Great way to get combat xp extremely fast.
