Hey there gear heads…

After a long love affair with the Flame Thrower, I’ve decided to try grenades out for a bit. I dig the kit, but I’m having a bit of trouble with the mechanics of the ground targeting. I want to toss a ton of grenades in seconds, but the ground-targeting is cumbersome and I’m losing precious battle time aiming the nades. Any tips or tricks? Tricks on how you use your keyboard? Mouse usage? I know you can just place the mouse on target and hit the number key twice for result, but this still feel awkward.

Thanks!

Turn off ground targeting in your options. Then the skill will trigger where ever the mouse pointer is at the point that you hit the skill button.

Probably also turn off the melee autoassist because you WANT to be inside the enemy sprite.

Amazing advice. Thank you Manticore. Had no idea you could turn off ground targeting.

As Manticore Five said , I advice you to try bomb kit too as it’s the strongest kit till you get the Grenadier trait ( will make bomb equal to grenade ). I use both + mine.
