Time to clear the air about fire bolt grenades!
So it seems a lot of you don't actually know how much a fire bolt grenade actually does. You just know it burns you a long time and can seem to almost kill you with nothing but a single hit.
Fire bolt base damage: 85hp
Touch of flame burn: 5 ticks of 7hp
Viking funeral burn: 10 ticks of 7hp
Total without viking funeral: 120hp
Total with viking funeral: 155hp
Time between ticks: about 0.8 seconds
Total burn time: about 8 seconds
Average guardian hp: 200hp
Those are the real stats people! The lightning grenade does 122hp with one hit to put those damages in perspective, and it has potential to hit you more than once. The only thing you can really complain about is the burn length because they aren't op in any other way.

31 RepliesIts actually 11 ticks. 162 damage. And the burn time is too high. What other ability [u]makes a player vulnerable for so long?[/u] shadowshot does. But you get it like once or twice a match with full intellect on average. You're out roasting for 8-9 seconds, then wait 2-3 seconds for regen to start then another 2-3 seconds to get all health back. Thats 12-15 seconds which is more than enough time in this game. And you can get it back in 25 seconds with max discipline. Perhaps even a little faster if you have grenade energy on melee hits perk. [quote]but lightning grenades.[/quote] They hit you and you realise "shit I gotta move." and you do that. You get your health back in seconds. Firebolts keep you vulnerable for too long to be considered balanced.
