Thermite Grenades & Pulse Grenades In PvP; Bungie... Please Look
Yes, I made a post saying that the Sunbreaker's thermite grenade was good and fun to use in PvP(I still stand by that), but Bungie... Compare it to LITERALLY every other pulsing zone control grenade in the game and it shows how poor this grenade is. Even pulse grenades are better than thermite grenades, but not by much. Why is the lightning grenade so much stronger than pulse grenades and thermite grenades in PvP? December would be a perfect time to do a Crucible balance, and these two grenades desperately need a buff. Lightning grenades can stick to any surface, and do double the damage of a thermite/pulse grenade respectively. This is bad for diversity in the Crucible, and needs to be fixed. Either buff the damage, buff the way of usage on the grenades, or change them completely. What do you guys think? Should these two grenades receive some change or do you think they are fine how they are? Leave your feedback below, and as always, thank you for reading this.

Just make them do dot like an incendiary

Thermite's only problem is the situational aspect of its use. Pulse grenades cover the same area 4x, but Thermites have a larger reach. You really have to think about where you put this one. I feel like every subclass should have one grenade that's unique, and thermite is the Sunbreaker's unique grenade. We just have to get used to it.

Lightning Grenade should have damage fall off IMO. They should do the same to Thunderstrike if you choose Amplitude.

I ran it in Mayhem this week with the perk on Sunbreaker giving you a faster grenade cooldown while Super is charged and I literally threw one every second and still didn't lead the lobby in kills. I barely go any at all and yet the whole area I was in was lit on fire. Before the Nerf to Tripmines you could almost do the same thing in Mayhem with Gunslinger and litter the map with tripmines waiting to give you free kills. It just shows you how much they nerfed Tripmines and how useless the Thermite is. I ran Bladedancer with Shinobu's Vow the other day in Mayhem with max Discipline build and the grenades literally got the kills for me. Just throw 1 close enough to the player to track and you can one tap them in the head for an easy kills or just throw 2 and move on with the next kill. The grenades need to seriously be looks at come Destiny 2. They can be spammed every 25 seconds and some are much better choices than others.

Don't forget arcbolt

I feel thermite grenades should do an AOE damage similar to dragons breath but smaller obviously, this would make them viable but not OP
-
Pulse grenades and thermite grenades are OP and need big nerfs.
-
Please delete the thing about the Lightning grenade they can literally delete my super and melee as long as I get my jump and lightning nades.

Pulse is a PVE grenade. Strikers already have two VERY effective grenades for PVP if you know how to use them: Lightning grenades, and Flashbangs.
-
Lightning grenade is the most effective grenade [i]period[/i]. Anyone who tells you differently is toying with your emotions.
-
Thermite grenades definitely needs a damage buff! Needs to do at least 100 to 122 damage!
-
PVP wise, I would defintely not say Pulse grenades are better than Thermite grenades simply because a grenade literally cannot be worse than the Pulse grenade. Ive never seen someone get a kill with a pulse because the enemy would have to stand still in the pulse for atleast 3 pulses which means you basically have to drop your controller and fumble trying to pick it back up in order to stay in the circle long enough. Maybe its as bad but it cant be worse. Both suck Wouldnt be against Sunbreaker getting a good grenade as its really just got a dominant super and fusion grenades and thats about it
