      D2 Vanilla and even D1 striker titan were well known for their grenades and grenade generation. Until Twilight Garrison it was extremely common to see an armamentarium titan with lightning grenades.

    This was strictly a damage test video, but I thought i could add that flashbangs stun unstoppable champions. Great for utility.
    No one uses skips because they were almost exclusive to pvp at one point, but shinobus vow made them usable in pve. I would say their strength is being able to spam them when you build into them. Not crazy spamming like pre nerf, but they're still pretty fun to toss lol

    Skip grenade is kind of mixed bag because by default it really isn't a great grenade, but it's a good utility for applying jolt to multiple targets, or annoying targets that move fast like overloads. However when you give it the Shinobu's vow arms on the hunter, they become probably my favorite arc grenade. 2 charges, absolutely crazy tracking on them, and you get up to 50% of the energy back if all submunitions hit something, meaning you get 3 back to back grenades on a full charge. Honestly one of my favorite hunter builds by far.

    • @IronworkerGaming
      @IronworkerGaming  День тому +1

      That does make sense! As I'm sure you know, I'm not extremely well versed in the ways of the Hunter, but the grenade does have some nice benefits baked in with Shinobu's! 😁👍

      @reedwojo7858 День тому

      Last time I checked that WAS what Shinobou's was like 2 nerfs ago. I do the math on it every time i try it out, the max energy you can get back on a grenade is 43%
      I do agree it is pretty great at jolting multiple targets, especially those teleporting overloads

  • @reedwojo7858
    @reedwojo7858 День тому +5

    Just a personal opinion as a hunter main, I don't like most of the arc grenades.
    I don't know why I don't like flashbang grenade, especially since in other games I absolutely love flash grenades. IDK maybe if it was shaped like a flashbang instead of a baseball I'd like it more.
    Skip grenades are pretty weak and Bungie just wouldn't stop nerfing them and Shinobou's vow, and now I just don't like them.
    Arcbolt is probably fine, but I just can't bring myself to like them ever since Bungie " *buffed* " lucky raspberry, and those are just inextricably linked for me. (it was 100% a huge nerf and you can't convince me otherwise)
    I don't think I've ever used lightning grenade without touch of thunder. maybe I would if the cooldown was a little faster.
    Flux Grenade takes *forever* and last time I checked it doesn't even 1 shot in pvp like its supposed to. Hunters could REALLY use an exotic revolving around flux. I liked flux way better when it was more like fusion and mag (in both tracking and cooldown)
    Pulse and Storm: 👍 still kinda liked old storm 'nade better, the inconsistency with a short cooldown, high potential dmg and lingering effect was peak for me.

    For lightning nades, I find they shine best either in Raid DPS or PvP, where in both you can stick the two nades to the walls around the target & they tend to not move out of the way. (example, Templar/Warpriest/Tanniks/pimple oger from Kings Fall)
    Though if they do AoE damage frequently they tend to break your nades.

    I'm 99% sure Bungie changes the Pulse Grenades Jolt because it would proc Jolt on the second hit and so it couldn't stun Overloads because they would teleport away.
    They moved it to the initial hit which is probably why you got that extra Jolt!

    I feel like skip grenade is suffering from the same thing chaos accelerant, T-crash, and a few other specific abilities are suffering from: the ability was the spawn of satin in pvp and/or pve for a while so since its highs were so high it took double and triple nerfs for it being good in certain combos so now the ability relies on kits being fully built around it to barely be worth using. That's without considering the general power creep of newer things getting things to make you want to use it over the old.

    Pulse grenades seem to be better than vortex grenades in every way except duration. They have a shorter cooldown, more damage, and seemingly better return on investment. Based on the numbers in this vid and the last, if you give pulse grenades jolt and vortex nades weaken then pulses are doing that 91,620 dmg and vortexs are doing 64,042.35 dmg. If you add on Chaos Accelerant and Echo of Remnant that brings it up to 114,515.85 dmg. But spark of magnitude brings pulses up to 127,279. You don't even have to use touch of thunder to beat a vortex grenade you invested everything into.
    I've got a feeling the solar grenade is going to outdo vortex's damage as well. It might be crazy to say that vortex grenades need a buff, but at the very least chaos accelerant does.

    • @IronworkerGaming
      @IronworkerGaming  День тому

      I can definitely get behind Chaos Accelerant needing a buff! Void Grenades have historically been the weakest of the bunch. I would guess that Bungie has decided to keep the damage subdued because of their overall consistency (non-proximity based damage). It certainly would be nice to see some of them brought up though. Like you pointed out, you gotta jump though hoops just to the the Vortex Grenade on par with a base Pulse Grenade. The discrepancy feels too drastic. 👍👍

      Lucky Raspberry works on arc and prismatic, you get grenade energy for every instance of jolt dealing damage, so you want to either have the fragment that makes your arc grenades jolt, or a voltshot/jolting feedback weapon. Every time jolt deals damage youll get a chunk of grenade energy.

      @@TheGraffiti600rr it makes arc bolts stun overloads, but it does not add jolt on its own.
      With a jolt effect applied however, every time jolt activates damage you'll get ~20% of an arcbolt back. Easily 100% jolt uptime on high health targets. It's arguably better in high difficulty than low due to jolt killing everything too quickly in low end content. So I highly recommend bringing a voltshot gun in low end content or a jolting feedback in medium/high end content to constant have jolt applied to targets.

    • @reedwojo7858
      @reedwojo7858 День тому +1

      I did testing, on prismatic and arc, as long as you have arcbolt it works the same.
      damaging with arcbolt gives you 15% of your grenade back, and gives and additional 15% when you trigger a jolt, note that the target has to survive the jolt proc, with an about .5 sec cooldown on returning energy. and 10% when you pick up an arc trace.
      Unless you are damaging high health targets, you won't see much results, but it is REALLY good at dealing with overloads that you just can't quite seem to kill on your own.
      Compared to the old lucky raspberry which was 25% grenade energy per enemy chained and a 25% chance to fully refund your grenade, basically as long as you hit 2 or more enemies, you basically got your grenade back.
      100% a nerf and you CANNOT convince me otherwise.
