Guild Wars 2

One of the more common things I see people complaining about on this forum is that they have trouble targeting grenades. I have no problems with them at all, regardless of whether I’m stationary, moving around, in the middle of a fight, or bombarding from max range

I don’t use fast cast, and I don’t click the mouse button. People don’t seem to realize that you can get all of the utility of fast cast by simply double-tapping the ability. This lets you keep the targeting reticle without having to click the mouse for each shot.

Honestly, I think the only change I’d ever want to see happen to the grenades would be if you click to throw out of the range, it just throws it in that general direction(obviously stopping at your max range)
Well, I suppose I also wouldn’t be too hurt if they nerfed underwater grenades, because holykitten they’re ridiculous.

I think it has less to do with the “trouble” of targeting grenades so much as that being forced to ground-target makes using the kit incredibly tedious on lengthier fights.

Problem is not Ground targeting per se.

It’s putting it on the Autoattack skill that you have to spam to keep DPS up that it’s a pain to use.

It’s matter of “playing comfort”. And grenades, due to that skill n°1, are very uncomfortable.

Switch kit → use 2-3-4-5 as neeeded → switch back to rilfe/pistol. Only to get a not idiotic and cluncky to use autoattack, especially when moving.

Thanks for the info. I will try this out tonight

I really just wish we could autoattack with the first grenade ability. Playing with pushing 1 then click or 1 & 1 just kills my wrists. Pistols & rifles are much easier on the hands.

I did try this last night and still had the same issue I had with fast cast. I move my mouse and I throw the grenades in a direction I did not want. I guess it is something I will have to get use to doing properly. however, I like how the grenades work in the water just do not like them on land because I have to target them to be effective. I’ll get the hang of them in the end though because I love a challenge.
