Firebolt grenades are ridiculous

You just got to get it in the general vicinity and it's a kill, it's way to OP

  • It does 171 damage. It won't kill you unless you already had low health.

    • And you get mad if I would use fusion grenades and solar grenades are pretty useless in pvp.

    • You can't kill anyone with a firebolt grenade alone.

    • well someone didnt play in year one. firebolt, believe it or not, actually did get nerfed when TTK dropped. In year one the initial hit used to be 101 taking away your full shield and a bit of your health. while now its 80-82 which take still a big chunk of your shield i can admit that but leaves you with 55-60% health. back in year one youd be lucky if you had more then 25% health. I can understand they are OP. they always have been, but they did get nerfed. they now do the same amount of damage as lightning grenades, my friends and i have tested both grenades out (with touch of flame and Viking Funeral on).

      • Its not a bad grenade....I mean in all honestly, u have to sacrifice a couple of perks to make it worth using. But unlike the Titan lightning grenade, it's not a grenade u can dodge properly. I know for a fact that if I hit a person with my fire bolt, and tap them with one bullet shot, they are as good as dead. Every other grenade in the game has a chance to be avoided or to get away from except fire bolt. If they gave the grenade the same range as arc bolt, I'd be happy.

      • Firebolts take away half of your health, we use a burn perk that adds another quarter of your health, viking funeral adds an 8th. You realize that "OP combo" equals the damage 2 ticks of a lightning grenade do? It does less damage than a fusion grenade? Skip grenades and scatter grenades do more than it as well? OUR -blam!-ING SUPER IS BASED OFF OF CHUCKING GRENADES

        • It's not a kill. A sticky grenade is a kill, and if they don't use burning fire bolt, they'll use 2 stickies which is way more annoying

          Its one of the only 2 abilities we can use to do damage. I have a lot of trouble with the burn damage not procing even though they are well withing the grenade area. Also flame shield is bs compared to year 1 since they ninja nerfed it. Sunsinger is easily killed by a smoke grenade and any special weapon. Or any super, or armamentarium with 2 suppression grenades.... Lighting grenades > Firebolt grenades Smoke grenades > scorch Throwing knives> all [i]-ATullo[/i]

        • The sunsinger class sucks without the grenades and the overshield. It only needs a reduction down to arcbolt range, or a decrease in DOT. Preventing an enemy shield from recovering is a solid enough perk without the excessive burn damage.

          • Firebolts are fine. The burn needs to be looked at however. [spoiler]Coming from a warlock main.[/spoiler]

          • The only upside to the class is the grenades and the tlaloc.

          • Kind like the titan lightning grenade (two ticks dead), hunters skip grenade which if you dont get away from will almost kill you, axion bolt which does around the same damage as a skip grenade. Oh, and lets not forget Nightstalkers wonderful wombo combo that no one can live from, unless you managed to get lucky or had enough time to avoid it. All classes have a grenade or some combo that will kill you pretty fast. Firebolt +viking furneral+touch of flame, is in that same boat. The only difference is that the initial hit with firebolt doesn't do a whole lot of damage. The burn does eat at your health, but you will never die from full health from that. If you have taken damage your chances of dying go up, but now you can't one shot someone with a firebolt from full health. Unless you are using a class that uses paper as armor, but then you can just shadestep and the bolt just disappears, but even then you will live with a very little amount of health

              • It only works if you're a warlock. That's the only class with viking funeral in Destiny. I find the bladedancer's skip grenade to be extremely unbalanced

              • Firebolt gernades are non lethal. Even with touch of flame and vikings funeral. are you running min armor?

                • Does anyone actually look at the class as a whole before they spout crap on the forums? The only other class that has a stronger neutral game is blade dancers. Those grenades and the melee are literally the only thing that subclass has going for it. Yes you hate it cause it's good. The super is garbage. All the super is really good for is controlling an area of the map for 10 secs or so. Stop complaining so much.

                  • Suggestion... Pay attention to your surroundings, don't get blocked in and move away. Has been working for me since launch year one, probably most others as well.

                      So are skip grenades for bladedancer, they do 190 damage if all of the hit. Smoke and void wall need a nerf to!

                        • Just be a warlock and play with it yourself. You've obviously don't know how it works. If you were killed by it, then you were probably low on health. It doesn't one-hit a guardian with full health.

                        • You must have stood still because everytime I throw one common sense says move and they do. Quit crying. Fusion grenades is what most use personally I love mine due to Halo sticky grenades. I'm a surgeon with those.
