I’m a level 80 Engineer. I used the grenade kit, it did a ton of damage. I was easily out dps’ing elementalists and other classes in aoe. I was so happy to see that sigils now work on kits, but saddened to see that grenades were nerfed.
Now onto the point of the thread. I really don’t see what the big issue is. Since the patch I switched to this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcQQBVymKrdEL1VUvjEgek36eXRPecjn8nCsF and use flamethrower. I have full exotic berserker gear and power/precision/crit dmg exotic rifle with superior sigil of blood lust. The tool belt grenade barrage is still very powerful, and I kill things as fast if not faster with flamethrower now than I did with grenades. The only downside to flamethrower is positioning, which only takes a moment to get used too. I have better stats completely with this build because I can keep a constant ~18 stacks of might going at will. My damage is on par, or over what other elementalist and “dps” classes are doing, I still feel very powerful, and I’m a force to be reckon with in pvp/wvwvw.
So I ask. Why all the whining?
