I was really excited to play around with action camera and while it’s very fun (all around I love it), the thing I was most excited about was how easy it would be to throw grenades behind you while kiting. Turns out the action camera makes you face your target and backpedal to use any skill, even if the skill can normally be aimed behind you. This effects other classes as well but nothing is as hampered as grenades by not being able to aim behind you while running full speed.

I hope they patch this to have the backpedaling only happen on skills that require it (like hip shot, where it’s a nice feature)

As for other things, snap ground targeting to target even with grenadier will overthrow grenades on targets running directly at you unless they are crippled. With shrapnel, it actually works pretty well and makes grenades feel like any ranged weapon. Mortar kit somehow works better for me because the aoe unsnaps from your target when you move the aoe far enough away from your target and I was able to lead my targets better or just more easily launch mortar shots at stationary fights/targets.
