Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

So this past week I’ve been working on my new condi engineer and as soon as I got to lvl 21, I went for Explosions spec and for Grenadier trait.
Although the throw velocity is indeed increased, I dont think the radius changes as stated by the description. Actually, I dont know how long 60 unities is in radius, but I tried to measure with some other parameters (an actural ruler, comparison of max range, ground objects covered) and it just doesnt seem to have any difference.

I couldnt get any screenshots for now, but can anyone confirm this?

The explosion radius of each grenade is increased which won’t show up on much of anything.

It works. Stand a little bit away from a test dummy and throw grenades as far away from the dummy as you can and still get numbers. Then move the cursor a little further till it just doesn’t hit anymore, turn the trait on and see that grenades thrown in that same spot now hit as they have a 50% increased blast radius.

Generally the trait isn’t really worth it. If you’re going to be in melee range dropping grenades on your feet to enemies right there, there’s going to be no difference. There’s also a change on trajectory with the sped up grenades that makes it so throws that would hit normally instead get thrown into the dirt short of the target. Just something to keep in mind.

In pve it’s really not worth the trait. The only time I use it is in wvw when I am trying to hit individual moving targets. In this case, the velocity increase is extremely helpful as well as the radius increase.
