Hmmm... Never thought about using Bloom very much before. I'll try it out! On the topic of grenades, I find the Axion Bolt to be pretty crappy for PvP. Whenever I use it I'm always thinking about how much more effective a well-placed Vortex would be. I play mostly Control, so tossing down a Vortex Grenade in the midst of a contested zone will almost always net a kill or two. Also, Vortex Grenades can be a OHK, only if they stay in the vortex long enough though. Keep in mind, not everyone will have perfect connection either, and a second of lag can do at least a third of someone's health. Then you have to factor in reaction time, and availability of escape. If you don't throw your Vortex Grenades around carelessly, and save them for good situations, then they become extremely deadly. As for Scatter, I'm very rarely finding amazing situations for it. I don't really Nova Bomb people out in an open field where the huge AoE would be useful. I mainly use it for clearing zones, shields, and enemies holding chokepoints. I find Lance to be extremely useful here, as I don't have to spend any time making sure I've got it angled correctly. The enemies have less time to dodge it too. I've blinked out of many Nova Bombs before when I was at the epicenter, but almost never have done it with a lance. Obsidion Mind, Bad Juju, and Voidwalker Perks decked out mostly for super regen can get me almost double the Nova Bombs I normally would have in a game. With the Pulse Rifle buff a while ago Bad Juju can kill in 3 bursts to the head. I can consistently kill with it, and get the effects a lot. [b]PvP Build:[/b] Vortex Grenade Blink Lance Soul Rip Arcane Force Annihilate Ancestral Order Embrace the Void I'll probably be swapping out the Vortex Grenade for the Scatter Grenade, and Embrace the Void for Bloom to test them out. I'll update this when I'm done testing.

  • Ugh.. Aside from shooting Nova Bomb through a long hallway, I find Lance to be such a pointless perk.. I mean, to each his own. But I think it's so pointless. lol

  • Axions are amazing. They either take someone down into OHK melee range so you can run in and finish them after you see the seeker track them, or once you knock someone's shields down you throw it behind their cover and it's guaranteed to finish them. Vortex I used to like a lot but I find too many people able to escape them more often than not.
