Guild Wars 2

Hello, yesterday i tried an experiment. I equipped 2x Rune of Hoelbrak, 2x Rune of Fire and 2x Rune of Strenght to get +60% might stack bonus. I also have giver’s pistol of battle to get +3 might for 20 (26s) on swap. And my traits are:
30 Explosives (Incendiary Powder, Enhance Performance, Grenadier
10 Firearms (V trait- vuln.)
30 Tools

So.. I Managed to have 19-25 might stacks and hit with grenade skill 1 1300 per grenade. My question is.. is it really worth it? I mean isn’t it better to just have zerger gear and only throw nades? This was quite fun because i also hit 2800 crits with rifle

Only thing you’re missing out on are the 6 orbs, i.e. 12% crit dmg and 84 Precision. In return you get a substantial boost to Power and condition damage. How much exactly depends on how many stacks you keep up, but at 35 Power/cndition dmage per stack you’d be ahead regarding Power with 4 stacks on you already.

Grenades do awesome direct damage and awesome condition damage. So, stacking might is the most powerful way to play them imo.
