Guild Wars 2

BUG: grenadier trait, makes grenade barrage throw extra grenades.

This bug has been exploited for too long. When engineers equip the grenadier trait, their grenade barrage does massive amounts of damage.

1 button can kill an entire team. No really it will kitten up everyone. Stack the effects for the most ridiculous thing ever in an mmo. At least from company like _net(uknow$).

PVP is unplayable cause people are abusing this bug like crazy to farm rewards and rank up. The thing is i don’t blame them. You give no kittens. None, not a single one.

This hasn’t been addressed for many days.

Calm down a bit. I don’t think Anet isn’t trying to fix the problem. But we have no idea how hard it is to solve this problem. It will get fixed for sure, but it takes time.

It’s just terrible for anyone who plays PvP or WvW right now. Everyone is out playing their engis, using this to 1-shot people. I literally watched my boyfriend get a GUARDIAN to 15% health in ONE hit with this skill yesterday in WvW. He says if him and our other engi friend roam together and they both use that skill, they can KILL someone in one shot from both of them, not down the person, just straight kill them. I said I was gonna go do some PvP the other day and he told me I shouldn’t even go in there because of how bad it is with engis right now.

I’m just saying, there are a lot of bugs floating around after the last update, but Anet needs to put this one near the top of their priority list because it’s honestly just ridiculous. I mean it’s funny how bad this bug is lol. I have to admit I can’t even blame engis for using the skill, it’s crazy to run around and just watch how you can Down someone in one hit, and hey, they aren’t the ones who broke it in the first place. But the fact is, until Anet DOES fix this, WvW and PvP are going to suck for everyone.

this bug is in the engi bug mega thread. That thread has a red post in it so we know it is read. It has actually been determined that it is not throwing extra grenades but rather that the grenades from grenade barrage are piercing meaning they hit the player as they pass and then when they explode on the ground, so its not just reducing the number of projectiles.
