I've tried speed powerups, and found that while the time it takes to kill a lair is consistent with using damage powerups (so same xp/hour for both types of powerups), I use up a lot more grenades for the same result.
Grenades are speed-capped, at either 5 or 9 seconds (I've heard both numbers, but haven't bothered to actually time it).

I use Minimum dmage powerups actually in my Thermasl. The way i look at it, I would rather have a more consistent lower end then very few that hit for max.
I prefer max damage, they allow your mitigation to take better effect. Maybe I'll take a look at the math ... say 900-1800 damage grenades boosted by 30% (the important part is min damage vs. damage spread): 1170-1800 vs. 900-2340. Average for min is 2970/2=1485, average for max is 3240/2=1620. It's too bad you can't have a bonus to both max damage and min damage...
See im not sure mitigation even comes into play with self inflicted wounds. What category do nades fall under, ranged damage mitigation? If so i have no ranged mitigation and i do just fine, i also have 80% base comp armor that could be the reason.

I tried grenading for the first time last night, I tried 3 times.
Every time I ran to the lair, poked it a few times, then when they were all around me I started throwing C12's with PUP.
Pretty much NO damage was done to the creatures at all.
I died 3 times in 1.5 hours.
Is something afoot I wonder?

This happened to me tonight...
I did my usual run up to the nitch lair and wack it multiple times. This time i was able to knock it half way down before they repaired so the second and third spawned. Now the problem i had was most of the baz nitches were around the lair, including the 5 agroing me. When i threw the nade it showed damage being done to the surrounding baz nithches but when i targeted them they had a full HAM bar. I thought this was weird it would show hit location spam over their head yet do no damage to bars. Has anyone else experienced this?
you can actualy do dmg to6 creatures with one nade. Just get 5 to aggro you then start attacking a 6th, which wont attack you but you still do dmg to it
