Do the throwing stats do anything? Do these increase the damage done by your grenades like Accuracy can for guns or does it simply mean you don't miss your targets?
As for the grenades themselves... the radius and speed makes them seem fairly worthless... are there any uses for grenades?

If you havent got a snare attack you can use a Cryoban grenade to apply one. Same goes for knockdown and a Fire DOT. Are they worth it? Barely. They look nice at least.

It doesn't work, I tried just now.
I had my Damage PUP'ed E11 Mk.II equipped. Did Impr.Full Auto Area on some Sulfur Pool Mynocks on Lok. It did 1143 pts of damage.
I had default attack off and I threw a Proton Grenade afterwards. That did 687 pts of damage.
This was of course a quick, on the fly test.

you did improved full auto area, OF COURSE you did more damage.
grenades do the MAX damage on the weapon, thats damagwe without any special moves.
do ranged shot. thats the damage grenades will hit for.
the benefit of this is as i said in pvp.
ALSO, grenades seem to take the range modifiers of whatever weapon is equipped as well, so grab a rifle and lob nades from 65 m away!

I have the grenades line alone, I love chunking them at people, mainly cryos and imp dets. I only use them for the states though, I wish they would fix the damage.

Im gonna have to test this.
Still that doesn't make sense at all..... LOL
A grenade is a grenade, a throwable explosive, it should be much more damaging then a laser rifle...

So we don't "throw" grenades now?? But instead we have an invisable grenade launcher attached to every weapon we use??

This Profession is like an Old Chevy Truck, where the floor has fallen through, the steering wheel has broken off, the doors are missing, yet it still runs somehow.
Maybe if I kick my PFT it will do an AoE?
