Aye, if we were talking long range grenades still, I could see grenadier, but at this point you’re unlikely to see much benefit if you’re just using them close range. Maybe if you’re kiting at 600-900 range?

1. the grenadier trait increased the toolbelt grenade barrage skill to 1500 and add +1 grenade to the toolbelt skill.

2. if u don’t take that trait your legendary rifle does not change barrage into energy orbs : (

3. mortar kit 1 actually hits harder then grenade 1. allowing you to synergise the 1500 barrage skill + mortar 1500 range (if u wvw etc)

Mortar auto is pretty meh eventhough it hits marginally harder with direct damage. Grenades apply a ton of vuln and bleeds which out dps mortar auto. Not to mention spamming nades means your target will be permanently crippled.
