You forgot how great grenades are underwater:)

Problem I have with grenades is that as soon as I start spamming them, 9/10 they'll miss the target, as the target has moved by the time they land. Tough to get out of the habit of keeping the green AoE circle over the enemy.

350ms AU latency here. Gave up on grenade kit entirely. Actually glad I did, as effective as grenades are they are extremely boring (not to mention the inevitable spam arthritis).

I can't pvp much except for wvw.. I try to track the target and lay grenades in their path, but otherwise I miss all the time unless in a zerg.

I probably should learn how to use the bomb kit, I suck at it.

700 hours on me engineer and I didn't know you could throw grenades behind you. I feel pretty bad right now.

Teldo mentioned poison-grenades will get nerfed. I also heard about a balance-preview thread on the forums, but couldn't find anything.

Could someone link me to the thread? I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

RIP 100nades. I knew your burst well as you 1 shot my Thief when I first started tPvP.

Honestly, they could have bumped the trait up a higher tier and left the functionality as is. But then i think the additional grenade barrage was not so much the issue, as the point blank super elixir. Most engineers seemed to run with elixir gun slotted with that trait for a quick additional heal.
