Commando Archive

I mean... if you get dots with ft whats the use of grenades?

the frag ones are great for killing a clustered area of weak mobs

nades in general are used for killing lairs effectively - and yield in higher combat pts given in battle

and the really really good gernades which u get as u progress up the commando tree are VERY effective (but regrettebly..costly)

so do you think getting the munitions skill tree in wp will keep me stocked up on those nades?

Ya know I was thinking the same thing, sure grenades are limited but if you can make your own I could see alot of fun out of using them. I'm gonna try the munitions tree as a side profession myself and see how well it goes.

Either you guys are really unlucky or I'm really lucky I only miss 1 out of 3 lobs. And I'm only Field Tac 1.

Eh, even if you go up the munitions line, your grenades will be horrible damage. No experimentation at all?

Experimentation is where most of the damage for grenades, and other weapons come from. You won't be able to experiment at all, save for like 2 points, maybe.. so your best bet is either to just find a nice cheap weaponsmith or have cruddy grenades to use all the time.

Also, Grenades come in different flavors.

Some do cold, some acid, some are blast, some are heat.. they vary.

So essentially-- grenades are like the cannons, but AOE-- and yeah, expendable.

But if you find a mob who is weak to say, cold and nothing else.

Lob one and see how much damage it does.

grenades earn you an addition Combat XP to what you would normally get. best if used on lairs becuase they are not going anywhere nor are they hitting you back.

Use for grenades? None. For the skill point cost you can pick up the Heavy Support Weapons tree for weapons that do more damage, hit more often, and have more charges. No Weaponsmith I know of likes to make grenades, it ties factories up for HOURS to make any significant quantity, and 5 charges means you go throughmany crates in a day. It's a money and skill point sink right now, and will remain so in the foreseeable future.

ya, I'm at field tactics 3 and I miss maybe 1/11 grenades....and plus it's 2 different XP to be comparing getting heavy wep support or field tactics.
