Ì know 3 of them drop combo fields, but is there a logical reason for why arent either bombs or grenades blast finishers or devs just dont care? Of course 100% blast would be OP, but what about 15% for bombs and 5% for nades?
I know the Big Ol’ Bomb is a blast, but nades toolbelt skill is not…
Although the chance of devs paying attention to Engi’s is remote, would it be a good idea?

Because you would have three blast finishers on an autoattack which can be overwhelmingly powerful.

Mortar Shot is STILL nerfed by 28%

Best perk of being an alchemical genius – we’ll just put the 15% blast in our elixir throws. Then we can have RNG while we RNG.

Thats why you put a really low % on blast proc on grenades (like 5%)

You can pull a flamethrower out of your bung hole.
Don’t complain about logic in an MMO, besides a vague resemblance, it is no place for it.

When it comes to balance, I see no need.
I would like more use out of combo fields like Anet initially hyped, but that’s just me. It’d make the game more situational/strategic if allot of the higher dps combo’s involved/required setup combo fields.

It’s about the type of explosion, obviously grenades and bombs are too diffuse to cause the right shaped charge like the big ol’ bomb.

More rng, no thanks.
