Do Skip Grenades Need A Nerf?
Skip grenades are now having their time in the spotlight as the most controversial grenade in the game. Comment below your thoughts on skip grenades in our current meta.

Firebolt nades blow ass

2 RepliesThey suck. Exotic makes them good. They use an exotic to make bad grenades great. Perfectly balanced. You can run away from them like an axion bolt. Literally you do the same thing to escape axion bolt and skip grenades.

2 RepliesOmg stop with the nerf shit....literally only good grenade the hunter has...
-
Skip grenades are terrible.
-
Great, just what this game needs. More nerfs because someone got killed by something. Yay...
-
3 RepliesMy skip grenades must have missed the "you are deadly"-memo because they either get glued to the ground and do nothing or only take 40 hp points from the opponent. The times they actually kill are few and far apart.

Looks like someone died to a few skip grenades...

Edited by Waynard1724: 10/12/2016 3:14:21 PMI vote no more goddamn nerfs to anything in this game, except [i]maybe[/i] the shanks and Cannon in the Wretched Eye strike. Feel free to resume nerf-herding in Destiny 2, but you assholes who call for nerfs because reasons (aside from day1-oct yr1 autos and vex mythoclast) are getting this game and our guardian abilities so watered down it's a joke. I honestly feel for players who recently started this game and never got to unleash the fury, or experience combat free from embarrassing and frustrating melee whiffs, ghost bullets, etc. I have a couple friends who just started. One loves The Bladedancer, but I don't even have the heart to tell him it is nowhere near as powerful as it used to be; talking mainly for pve. He can't/won't use blink. Says, and I concur, that in pve it is worthless as far as traversing because of the cooldown, and now for pve the bladedancer's strongest asset is its shadowjack build for invisibility, which is negated by blink anyway. I told him use better control and bones when he gets a pair. My point, I guess, is quit trying to get this game suited solely to pvp. Quit being ok with the nerfing of everything vs the buffing of other stuff. "But ttk will be too fast!" So what? We don't already die in split seconds never seeing shit coming? It's a crazy ass space magic shooter hybrid! If you're not having fun even in your dying, then you're taking this [b]game[/b] too seriously.

No. I would like to see my axion bolts upgraded to match though.
-
4 RepliesNo they dont.

Shade step. Oh you don't hunter? Too bad. No more nerfs please.

8 RepliesAs someone who now has one of each character and mained a warlock till rise of iron, I have extensive time with one of the best grenades in the game. Both lightning and burn nades on warlock and Titan are strong however, the skip nades are the most powerful I've seen since year one. I think they could loose some tracking ability, I should not be chase through out the map with one. That also goes for the axiom darts

I have a dusty ass Hunter that's only been out to play a handful of times in the last year or so. I mostly play on my Warlock as I'm not devoting as much time to Destiny as I may have in Y1. I tell you all this so the next thing I say will show absolutely no bias that I may have on the subject. Skips are just fine the way they are. Even when you take the Vow into consideration.

2 RepliesIf they "need" a nerf, so do shotguns. That and I told my friend I'd give it less than 3 weeks before this would be up. #huntersnerfedagain

It's a top tier grenade. Why mess with it? It's definitely not overpowered. It's just really good. Are we at the point now where we want anything that's good nerfed? You do realise skips can be quite inconsistent? They can just stop for no reason, fail to track and get stuck on random shit like a single stone. When it works it's a great grenade. Why change that?

1 ReplyI'm still running from a skip grenade from yesterday.
-
Im running away from a skip grenade as I type this. talk to you later, bye!
-
5 RepliesYes. Not because they're op but because i think it's funny when hunter stuff gets nerfed.
-
3 RepliesThey should buff it so skip grenades track you into orbit and follow you till you restart your console.

1 ReplyOnce a Hunter has thrown his Skip Grenade, you can never lose it. It'll chase you through out the map. It'll chase you in the Tower, the Reef, and the Iron Temple. You're no longer safe in your ship, not even in your own house. You're never safe, never.

3 RepliesNo problem with skips #Shadestep
-
2 RepliesA hunter threw a skip grenade at me last Tuesday in the iron banner. It killed me yesterday.
-
Skips are fine, shinobus are kinda broken, id be fine with two skips
-
They don't usually kill me?
-
5 RepliesNo, but firebolts should be returned to their pre-nerfed state, plus you know that one sunbreaker exclusive grenade? I don't even remember the name to that one, but I don't see anyone use it at all so it should be reworked
